Eli Manning turns in worst fantasy performance of the season against Steelers
Eli Manning threw for a season-low 125 yards with zero touchdowns and one interception during the Giants’ loss to the Steelers on Sunday. We break down the fantasy implications.
Jeff Zelevansky
Manning has now thrown for less than 200 yards in back-to-back outings. He has also yet to throw a touchdown since Week 7. He completed less than 50 percent of his passes for the first time this season.
Fantasy Impact: Manning had a hideous day passing against the Steelers, finding just four different receivers on the day. His back-to-back bad outings is worrisome, especially considering how well he has played this season. Is he pulling a reverse Eli and going cold late in the year?
Owners shouldn't freak out just yet because his body of work before weeks 8 and 9 was very strong. Next week's game against the Cincinnati Bengals should once again be a good matchup. He deserves another chance before the Giants' Week 11 bye.
