Despite his towering size, the Bosnian was scoring only his second headed goal of the season in Monday night's win at Wigan.
It is a rather surprising statistic given Dzeko's tally for the campaign now stands at an impressive 14.
And with games starting to become tighter as their importance becomes more important, Mancini concedes it is an advantage City could make more of.
"I hope this is the start of a new Dzeko," said Mancini of the player who had gone 11 games without a goal.

"This guy deserves to be important. He deserves to score. That is important for the strikers.
"I certainly think we can exploit his size more.
"He can score with his head because he is strong in the air."
