Quarterback Rank: #35
Overall: #195
Manning actually broke a career record for him last season. He threw for the most yards of his career (4,700), throwing for nearly 200 yards more than his previous career high. But the Colts didn't have much of a running game all season, which led to a lot more chances for Manning. He had seven 300-yard games and finished with 33 touchdown passes. Manning has thrown for 4,000-plus yards five straight seasons. He has 30-plus touchdown passes six seasons. Manning did turn the ball over more than past seasons (17 interceptions), but that will happen when you attempt 679 passes. Manning is 35 years old, but doesn't seem to be slowing down at all. He plays in a high-powered offense with quality options at receiver. Manning doesn't have a huge arm, but is extremely accurate and cerebral. He knows the Colts offense inside and out, and calls most of the plays at the line of scrimmage. Manning had neck surgery this offseason, but should be ready for training camp.

| Manning is about as sure as it gets when it comes to fantasy quarterbacks. He'll get you 4,000 yards and around 30 scores every season. Expect similar success this year. It makes sense for the Colts to try and establish the run better this season, but even with that said, Manning will get plenty of chances. He is a top-three fantasy quarterback, producing consistent numbers for fantasy teams. |

| Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay said contract negotiations with QB Peyton Manning are already under way, and the lines of communication have always been open. The negotiation process will likely last another three weeks - right up until Manning's $28 million option bonus is due March 8. 'We both know everyone has great interest on it. We'll just keep talking. And certainly by that date we'll come up with something that makes sense for him and for the Colts,' Irsay said. 'I think we both understand each other's issues. (We're) not delaying it for any intentional reason. It's not only a big decision, but it's a complicated and tough decision.' |

| Indianapolis Colts QB Peyton Manning (neck) is reportedly making real progress in terms of his arm strength and he is not dealing with troubling bone spurs in his neck, as previously reported. |
| Fantasy Impact: At this point, who knows what to believe? The reports seem to change by the hour. |

| Indianapolis Colts QB Peyton Manning (neck) was targeting a Week 16 return this season and wanted to take part in mostly red zone situations where his arm strength would be less of a factor. Manning was not cleared to play by the team physician because he did not have full range of motion in his neck. Manning took part in a workout before not being cleared and was throwing at around 80 percent of his normal velocity. He also could not throw more than 20 to 22 yards at a time and several of his passes wobbled in the air. |

| Indianapolis Colts QB Peyton Manning (neck) reportedly underwent three neck surgeries over the last two years but he also underwent a fourth procedure on his neck that was not reported. The fourth procedure is believed to occur between his May 23 surgery to repair a bulging disk and his Sept. 9 neck fusion surgery. The Colts believe Manning likely will need more surgery at some point because the neck may have developed bone spurs just above where his fusion surgery took place. |
| Fantasy Impact: Needless to say, a Manning return to the NFL is no sure thing. |

| Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay said the team would like to have QB Peyton Manning (neck) return next season but he would have to restructure his contract and forgo the $28 million option bonus he is scheduled to receive. Manning would have to agree to an incentive-based restructuring that would reward him if he returns to full strength. |

| Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay said he would be 'excited' if QB Peyton Manning (neck) stayed with the team for the rest of his career. 'I want him to be able to make the choice. We would love to have him back here if he can get healthy and we can look at doing a contract that reflects the uncertainty of the ... healing process with the regeneration of the nerve,' Irsay said. Irsay expects to meet with Manning within the next week. |
