Manning was on my sell high list last week, and despite a strong showing against the Chiefs he remains here.
The success of the Broncos’ passing game on Thursday largely falls on the receivers and not the QB. Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders kept the offense afloat all on their own, and even managed to effectively mask Manning’s rapidly diminishing arm. It was a good sign to see Manning put up a few TDs and finish with strong fantasy production, but such showings could be rare this year.
His stock is slightly higher than it was at this time last week, which makes it an even better time to sell. While there will be weeks that Manning puts up QB1 numbers, there will also be weeks where he let your team down in a big way. As the season grinds on, the latter of those two will become more and more common. If you have a serviceable backup and could snag an upgrade at another position, Manning is worth the sell.
