Peyton Manning nearly perfect in record breaking performance

by Patrick Johnson | Mon, Oct 20th 3:56pm EDT

Peyton Manning broke the career NFL TD record, previously held by Brett Favre, when he threw his third TD on Sunday Night Football. Peyton carved up the 49ers secondary completing 22 of 26 passes for 318 yards and 4 TDs despite resting in the 4th quarter.

Fantasy Impact:

Peyton, again, lived up to his elite QB1 status. The offense is highly efficient at the mid-season mark, and everyone involved is deriving fantasy value. Manning and Broncos host the Chargers Thursday night on a short week. Obviously, there's no decision at QB for Manning owners. He's locked in as a QB1 each week, and against an average Charger Defense, he'll be a high-end QB1 in week 8.
