Summary
Eli Manning has had a tumultuous few years in New York, as former head coach Ben McAdoo unceremoniously benched the two-time Super Bowl winner before reinstating him, a position he held throughout 2018 in Pat Shurmur's first season at the helm. The Giants 5-11 record last year and Manning's mediocre performance led most to expect a changing of the guard in 2019. General manager Dave Gettleman downplayed a potential switch, until the first day of the NFL draft when he shockingly used the sixth overall draft choice on Duke quarterback Daniel Jones. Teams don't use top-10 picks on quarterbacks that aren't expected to start, sooner or later. The question for Manning is whether he plays well enough to hold onto the starting job this season. It's hard to believe Manning has been a top-10 fantasy quarterback six times, although that also means he's fallen out of the top-10 nine times. He hasn't been fantasy relevant since 2015 (4,436 yards and 35 touchdowns), but he's also not completely inept. Manning completed a career-best 66% of passes last year and threw for 4,299 yards. The problem is he threw only 21 touchdowns in 576 attempts, in spite of having Odell Beckham and Saquon Barkley at his disposal. The good news for Manning is Daniel Jones, sixth pick or not, is probably not ready to take over an NFL huddle. If the Giants get off to a strong start, expect Manning to deliver another middle-of-the-pack fantasy QB2 season. He'll be useful in two-QB leagues but his lack of No. 1 upside means you should look elsewhere on draft day. (May 2)FBG Staff Rankings
