Week 12 vs. Cleveland
Eli Manning had a modest 227 yards and a pair of touchdowns against the Bears last week. Chicago has been surprisingly good on defense, despite their record, but Eli came out with the win and a reasonable fantasy day. Manning hasn’t put the ball in the end zone as much this year as he has in years past, but he’s got the Giants in position to win a wildcard spot and has been using his weapons effectively of late.
This week should be an excellent opportunity for Eli to get back on track from a fantasy perspective. The Browns are dead last in the league in touchdown passes allowed, and while Eli can be very erratic at times, all the signs point to a good day from the veteran. Fantasy owners shouldn’t skip over their every-week starters, but if Eli is available to stream or has been sitting on your bench waiting for good matchups, now is the time.
