Fantasy Impact: Unfortunately for Manning's owners, the Giants winning big doesn't correlate well to his value for fantasy lineups. Manning was surgical throughout the game, but Andre Brown made such an impact on the ground that he didn't have to throw for 510 yards like last week. It was an impressive performance for the entire Giants offense. Manning's owners, though, would prefer a shootout, which could happen in Week 4 against the Eagles.
