Whether they like it or not, fantasy owners will be affected by how their players are covered. Yes, fantasy is a game of numbers, but narratives and players making mistakes can make owners a bit uneasy when it comes to using their guys.
Fantasy football start/sit, Week 10: Eli Manning a possible QB1 this week
Eli Manning should be involved in a high-scoring game. We break down the fantasy implications.
One of the top guys coming to mind in that regard is New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning. When he fails, he always tends to do it in spectacular fashion, but fantasy owners have to block that out and remember he's been a top-eight QB in fantasy football so far this season.
Eli did not have a good week in his last one, passing for just 213 yards, two scores and two picks against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.This week, he is involved in one of the highest-scoring games of the weekend against the New England Patriots.
Fantasy impact: He is at home and he should have to throw the ball a lot. As long as he doesn’t turn the ball over four times, he should have big-time numbers. Start him.
