Scouting report

NYG QB Eli Manning - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Chicago Bears

Eli Manning threw for 297 yards, a touchdown and a pick in a nail-biting loss to the Eagles last week. Manning has only eclipsed 300 yards passing once this season, and he’s averaging only 1.3 touchdown passes per game. While he’s only thrown seven interceptions, his lack of production overshadows any efficiency he’s shown. Regardless of matchup, Manning is hard to trust in most fantasy leagues, and that goes double against the Bears this week. He should stay on waivers.

NYG QB Eli Manning - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Philadelphia Eagles

Eli Manning threw for 231 yards and a pair of touchdowns against the Buccaneers last week, a fine outing but far less than the matchup suggested. Manning has thrown five touchdowns and zero interceptions in back-to-back wins against lower-tier opponents, providing some optimism for fantasy owners needing help at the position to close out the season.

This week, Manning will face a Jekyll and Hyde Eagles defense that has shown the ability to dominate at times this season, but was absolutely torched by the Saints last week. A tough defensive line may be too much for the Giants to handle, making Eli a risky option this week. Outside of 2QB leagues, Manning should probably remain on waivers.

NYG QB Eli Manning - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Eli Manning got his second win of the season Monday night against the 49ers, throwing for three touchdowns and no interceptions. While he only had 188 yards, it was good to see him connecting with star receiver Odell Beckham Jr. for a pair of touchdowns after only two such connections over the first eight games of the year.

This week, Manning has some upside against the Buccaneers. Only the Saints and the Bengals are allowing more fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks this season, and while they held Alex Smith in check last week, expect better things from Manning and his weapons. Manning is too risky to bank on in traditional leagues, but for fantasy owners with bye week issues or in two-quarterback or superflex leagues, he’s worth considering.

NYG QB Eli Manning - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 at San Francisco 49ers

Eli Manning struggled against Washington before the bye in Week 8, throwing for a pair of interceptions in his seventh loss of the season. Manning did manage his second straight game with over 300 passing yards, and he now has three such games over his last four outings, but that’s little consolation in a league where 300 yards is nearly the minimum production expected of a fantasy quarterback each week.

Manning will face a 49ers defense that allows the ninth-most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks this season, but it’s hard to trust him during such a forgettable season. Manning is a viable streaming option in very large leagues or in leagues that allow two quarterbacks, but should remain on waivers in most formats.

NYG QB Eli Manning - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Washington Redskins

Eli Manning had a season-high 399 yards passing against a vulnerable Falcons defense last week, but he only managed one touchdown pass in a tough loss. Manning hasn’t been terrible this year, but he hasn’t been particularly effective either. He’s on pace to throw only 9.14 interceptions this season, which would be his lowest since he threw nine in nine starts as a rookie, and his completion percentage of 69 percent is a career-high. However, he’s on pace for only 16 touchdowns, which would be a career-low, making his fantasy production hard to get excited about. Against a tough Washington defense this week, he’s too risky to trust in most leagues.

NYG QB Eli Manning - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Atlanta Falcons

Eli Manning had a rough game against the Eagles last week, putting up 281 yards and a pick in the Giants’ fifth loss of the season. Manning has struggled behind a poor offensive line this year and it seems unlikely those problems will go away any time soon.

Manning has upside against the Falcons this week, who have allowed the second-most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks this season. He’s still risky due to how erratic he’s been, but fantasy owners in leagues that feature two quarterbacks or in deep leagues with bye week issues should consider streaming him in a great matchup.

NYG QB Eli Manning - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Philadelphia Eagles

Eli Manning threw for 326 yards and a pair of touchdowns on Sunday, but he also threw a pair of interceptions. The Eagles have been very average against the quarterback position this year, but it’s hard to trust Eli with how inconsistent he can be. We’ve seen every angle of Erratic Eli so far this season, and there should be better streaming options available than a risky quarterback on Thursday night against Philly. Leave him on waivers.
