After failing to score a single touchdown in each of his last three games, Eli Manning came out firing in Week 12 against the Packers. Through nearly two quarters of play, he’s completed 8 of 15 passes for 132 yards and two touchdowns.
Eli Manning finally looking good for fantasy owners in Week 12
Eli Manning is actually scoring touchdowns on Sunday Night Football. We break down the fantasy implications.
The Packers’ secondary is basically letting Manning do whatever he wants, while Aaron Rodgers is surprisingly struggling to finish some drives.
Fantasy Impact: Three scoreless weeks would likely deter a lot of owners. If you remained faithful to Manning this week, it looks like it’s going to pay off. Who really expected him to be shutout for a fourth straight week?
Assuming Green Bay keeps it close, Manning will keep throwing the ball often throughout the night. The Giants don’t want a repeat of Rodgers’ soul-crushing comeback from last season.
