Eli Manning surprises fantasy owners with five touchdowns in Week 4
Manning went off against Washington on Thursday night. We break down the fantasy implications.

Thursday night's game was completely one-sided. Manning helped the New York Giants take a 24-7 lead to go into the locker room at halftime. Washington pulled within 10 in the third quarter, but Manning was too much.
Fantasy impact: After a rocky start to the year against the Detroit Lions, one of the league's better defenses, Manning has posted two or more touchdowns in each of his last three games. He nearly finished with six touchdowns, as one of his passes to Rueben Randle was caught in the end zone and knocked loose, resulting in an interception.
The Giants take on the Atlanta Falcons at home in Week 5. Manning is becoming a viable fantasy starter in offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo's new system. Daily fantasy owners should certainly keep an eye on his price.
