Eli Manning (QB, NYG) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues / All 2 QB Leagues

Owned in 51% of Fleaflicker leagues

ANALYSIS: Anyone who picked up Eli vs. the Redskins in Week 4 knows they might have gotten a career fantasy performance. His 4 passing TDs and 1 rushing TD were a thing to behold.  While we don’t expect him to put up another 41 points, the Giants are looking infinitely better on offense than they were in the preseason and in Week 1.  Eli is throwing high percentage pass attempts and he has a new favorite tight end safety blanket TD scoring machine in Larry Donnell. Matching up vs. the Falcons’ poor passing defense, Eli should be good for 250-300 yards passing, along with a couple TDs at least. Eli is is startable in all 12+ team leagues with a nice matchup vs. the Atlanta Falcons sub-par pass defense. He’s a strong streamer for Week 5.
