Manning threw for 386 yards and three touchdowns on Sunday, adding to his impressive season totals. He also threw an interception and was sacked four times, which led to the Broncos losing the game by six points.
Fantasy spin: Manning is still an elite fantasy football quarterback, but the Broncos’ pass protection must improve going forward. In recent weeks, teams have found a way to get after Manning and hit him early in games. That makes him uncomfortable and exposes him to possible injury.
There is no need to worry about Manning or the Broncos after one loss, though. Manning is still performing at a high level and has the weapons around him to succeed as long as he stays healthy. Improved pass protection should ensure Manning stays healthy.
