Eli Manning looks so-so in dress rehearsal matchup
by John Camera | Sat, Aug 27th 10:40pm EDT
Eli Manning went 10-for-15 for a 66.7 completion percentage. He finished with 65 passing yards and had an interception. He also tripped during a hand-off which counted as a four yard rushing loss.
Fantasy Impact:
Manning played into the third quarter and didn't attempt many passes downfield until later on in the game. The Giants' game plan was heavily geared toward running the ball and short, check-down passes which resulted in the Quarterback's below-average yardage numbers. Still, Manning didn't look great against a stingy Jets defense and in particular on a throw over the middle to Odell Beckham Jr. that the receiver pulled up for and Darrelle Revis intercepted. It shouldn't be of major concerns to fantasy owners though; Manning typically picks his game up in the regular season and should be a solid QB1.
