Manning has now thrown more than 300 yards in four consecutive games, and has thrown three touchdowns in each of his last three outings. His second-quarter interception, a pick-six, was his first since Week 2 of the regular season.
Fantasy Impact: With every passing week, Manning seems to get better and better. He completed a season-high 80 percent of his passes to help lead the Broncos to 35 straight points, erasing a 24-0 deficit. At this point, there is little question that Manning is an every-week starter in most fantasy formats.
The Broncos will rest on a bye in Week 7, disappointing fantasy owners. The team returns in Week 8 to face the New Orleans Saints, in a game that could see Manning lighting up the scoreboard once again to keep pace with Drew Brees and company.
