NYG QB Eli Manning - 2017 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

Eli Manning has never been the most consistent option game-to-game, but he’s had over 4,000 yards passing three seasons in a row and he has one of the game’s best receivers in Odell Beckham Jr. Additionally, Manning should benefit from free agent acquisition Brandon Marshall and second-year receiver Sterling Shepard. Manning should continue to put up solid numbers with excellent targets in a pass-happy system.

Fantasy Downside

Eli has been remarkably durable throughout his career, but he’s 36 years old and entering his 14th season. At some point, the bottom will fall out on an already erratic passer. Manning will put up good numbers, but he’ll kill you some weeks as well. He had 16 interceptions last year, including six games with multiple picks. The Giants have a young offensive line that is still a work-in-progress, and the running game is inconsistent at best, putting a lot of pressure on Manning to produce.

2017 Bottom Line

Manning won’t surprise anyone this year. At this point in his career, he is who he is. He can be a very solid QB2 or bye week filler in leagues across the board, but isn’t going to be the reason you win your league and he will still have a multiple-interception game at an inopportune time for owners. He’s nice value late in drafts for owners looking to stream this season or have a backup with a history of staying on the field.

NYG QB Eli Manning - Week 18, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Wild Card Round at Green Bay
Eli Manning’s touchdown totals dipped under 30 for the first time in three years this season, but he finished with over 4,000 yards for the sixth time in the last eight years. Manning is always fairly inconsistent, but he can be fine in a pinch in most fantasy leagues, and the last time he was in the playoffs he averaged 304.75 yards and 2.25 touchdowns per game on his way to a Super Bowl victory.

This week, Manning has a lot of upside against a Green Bay pass defense that is tied for third worst in the league in passing touchdowns allowed this year. Also, only the Saints allowed more passing yards. Eli isn’t a sure-fire starter like Aaron Rodgers or Ben Roethlisberger this week, but if you miss out on one of the top three guys – Russell Wilson being the third – then settling for Manning might not be a bad option.

NYG QB Eli Manning - Week 17, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Washington

Eli Manning had 356 yards and a touchdown last week against the Eagles, but he also had three picks, leading to a New York loss. The Giants still sit at 10 wins though, assured of a playoff spot. Early signs are that they will play their starters this week.

Manning will finish the regular season against a Washington pass defense that ranks 28th in the league in yards allowed and are tied for 14th with 22 touchdowns given up. That should be a good matchup for Eli, but it wouldn’t shock me to see him get pulled at some point if the game isn’t going well. Washington needs this win more than New York does. With Manning’s erratic outputs and the threat of him sitting some portion of the game, there should be better options available to you on waivers.

NYG QB Eli Manning - Week 16, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Philadelphia

Eli Manning had an efficient game against the Lions last week, completing 20 of 28 pass attempts for 201 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He didn’t turn the ball over and led New York to their 10th victory of the season, putting the Giants in the driver’s seat for a wildcard spot. It was good to see multiple touchdowns and no turnovers for Manning, as fantasy owners gear up for championship season.

This week, Manning faces a Philadelphia defense that started the season fairly stout, but has regressed since. They rank below average in touchdowns and yards per attempt allowed to opposing passers, although they are 13th in the league with only 239 passing yards allowed per game. Expect another middle-tier performance from Eli, with low yardage and a pair of touchdowns, making him a borderline QB1 but most likely a good streaming or QB2 option in most leagues.

NYG QB Eli Manning - Week 15, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Detroit

Eli Manning had only 193 yards, a touchdown and a pick against the Cowboys last week, but pulled out a much-needed victory as the Giants try to make a push for one of the wildcard spots. Manning has thrown for three touchdowns and three picks over the past two games and hasn’t eclipsed 200 yards passing since Week 11 against the Bears.

This week, Manning will face a below average Detroit pass defense. Both teams need the win, so Detroit will come to play, but the Lions allow efficient production to opposing QBs. Only the Browns have allowed a better QBR to opposing passers this season. Eli is risky, but as a low-end QB1 option in large leagues, he has some upside due to a decent matchup.

NYG QB Eli Manning - Week 14, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. Dallas

Eli Manning had only 195 yards last week against the Steelers, along with a pair of touchdowns and two picks. It was a down game for the Giants, who lost their fourth game of the season and fell another game behind the Dallas Cowboys in the NFC East.

While unlikely to win the division, this week’s matchup against Dallas is big for the Giants. Sitting at 8-4, New York would like to get at least a couple more wins to make sure they sneak into the playoffs. Manning has been playing well lately, and while Dallas has been winning games, they do give up the fourth most passing yards per game this season to opposing quarterbacks. Expect a reasonably solid day from Eli, but with some volatility and limited upside, he’s a borderline starter in most leagues.

NYG QB Eli Manning - Week 13, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Pittsburgh

Eli Manning only had 194 yards against the Browns last week, but he threw three touchdown passes and didn’t turn the ball over, putting together a solid day overall. Manning had only eight touchdown passes his first seven games this year, but has now thrown 12 over the past four games since the Week 8 bye.

This week, Manning faces a Steelers defense that ranks 23rd in passing yards allowed per game but is tied for fifth in the league with only 13 passing touchdowns given up all season. Eli isn’t consistent enough to bank on, but with the Giants on a six game winning streak and Eli playing more efficiently, it’s hard to ignore him as a safe option in large leagues. We have him outside our top-12 this week, but he’s a solid fill-in option or QB2.
