Eli Manning Fantasy Projection:

Manning is coming off arguably the most impressive season of his career, at least from a statistical standpoint. Manning threw for 4,410 yards and 30 touchdowns in 2014. He even added a rushing touchdown just to make fantasy football owners happy. Going into 2015 Manning’s fantasy value has never been higher.

With an improved offensive line and an unbelievable cast of supporting players, Manning could be the man in 2015 fantasy football. The good thing about Manning from a fantasy perspective is that he is in a pass happy offense called by Ben McAdoo. The Giants need to lean on Manning’s arm to win football games. So he could put up huge numbers in any week.

The concern with Manning is that he is inconsistent and is turnover prone. Any Giants fan knows that a bad day for Manning, is a really ugly thing. Manning wouldn’t be the first quarterback choice, but he ranks pretty high. It isn’t unfeasible for Manning to put up a 5,000 yard season, though I wouldn’t bank on it. He has the talent around him and finally the best offensive system for him. Manning is a top tier fantasy football player just like his brother.

Projection:

4,500 yards, 31 touchdowns and 15 Interceptions
