Quarterback Rank: #9
Overall: #53
Manning might have enjoyed his best season to date, throwing for nearly 5,000 yards while scoring 30 touchdowns. He had eight 300-yard games and multiple touchdowns in all but five games. Manning was a consistent producer all season and did a good job of avoiding the really bad game, which plagued him the last few seasons. Manning has three straight 4,000-yard seasons and averages 29 touchdowns per season during that stretch. Manning seems to have taken his game to a new level, leading a pass-happy Giants' offense. New York has some emerging receivers, which could lead to even better numbers in 2012 for Manning. Manning has a good arm and is an accurate quarterback. He still makes some bad decisions but has improved in that area the last few years. Manning also is durable, playing every game the last seven seasons.

He gets overlooked at times but Manning is a legit No. 1 for fantasy teams. He should be considered in that elite category, especially after last season. You probably never thought he would be rated higher than his brother but that is the case right now. Manning can improve his fantasy numbers in this offense, getting 35 or so touchdowns and big yardage numbers (5,000-plus). He is a good guy to take after the big boys are off the board (i.e. Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers). |

| New York Giants QB Eli Manning is hoping the team drafts some more offensive firepower in this year's NFL Draft after they lost RB Brandon Jacobs and WR Mario Manningham to the San Francisco 49ers. 'When we go into the draft, that could be an area we try to attack,' Manning. 'Get a skill-position guy who can help us get carries, get catches, in some ways get that same production from the guys we lost last year.' Manning said Stanford TE Coby Fleener could be a target after the team lost both TEs Jake Ballard (knee) and Travis Beckum (knee) to knee injuries in the Super Bowl. |

| New York Giants QB Eli Manning blasted the reported New Orleans Saints bounty program, saying it cannot be part of the game.
