Peyton Manning Fantasy Numbers Dip In Week 2
Peyton Manning threw one touchdown and three interceptions during Monday night’s game between the Broncos and Falcons. We break down the fantasy implications.
Fantasy Impact: It was a disappointing night for fantasy owners hoping for a repeat of last week's two-touchdown, zero-interception game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Manning improved as the game went on, but early it appeared he may have tried to beat the secondary on several difficult throws that he simply can't make at the moment. He could still be a fairly solid fantasy option going forward, but he should be considered a second-tier prospect at the moment.
