Quarterback Rank: #35
Overall: #195
Manning actually broke a career record for him last season. He threw for the most yards of his career (4,700), throwing for nearly 200 yards more than his previous career high. But the Colts didn't have much of a running game all season, which led to a lot more chances for Manning. He had seven 300-yard games and finished with 33 touchdown passes. Manning has thrown for 4,000-plus yards five straight seasons. He has 30-plus touchdown passes six seasons. Manning did turn the ball over more than past seasons (17 interceptions), but that will happen when you attempt 679 passes. Manning is 35 years old, but doesn't seem to be slowing down at all. He plays in a high-powered offense with quality options at receiver. Manning doesn't have a huge arm, but is extremely accurate and cerebral. He knows the Colts offense inside and out, and calls most of the plays at the line of scrimmage. Manning had neck surgery this offseason, but should be ready for training camp.

| Manning is about as sure as it gets when it comes to fantasy quarterbacks. He'll get you 4,000 yards and around 30 scores every season. Expect similar success this year. It makes sense for the Colts to try and establish the run better this season, but even with that said, Manning will get plenty of chances. He is a top-three fantasy quarterback, producing consistent numbers for fantasy teams. |

| NFL Network analyst Michael Lombardi said people that have caught Indianapolis Colts QB Peyton Manning's (neck) passes say they lack the velocity at this point and he is not able to throw across his body yet. 'He can't throw the ball,' Lombardi said. 'I've talked to people who've caught the ball for him. He can't throw the ball to his left. He can't throw the ball across his body, because he doesn't feel it. People that catch the ball for him say he doesn't really have velocity on the ball yet.' |
| Fantasy Impact: You aren't sure what to believe at this point so take this all with a grain of salt. We'll know more closer to the season, which is a ways away. |

| Former Washington Redskins QB Joe Theismann said it would be a horrific idea for the team to sign Indianapolis Colts QB Peyton Manning (neck) if he becomes a free agent. 'It's not a good idea, it's not a bad idea - It's a horrific idea,' Theismann said. 'It would be one of the poorest things that we could do as a franchise. Are we gonna go find another guy for just a couple of years again? Haven't we done this before? Haven't we seen this act before? And by the way, if you get Peyton Manning, don't you have a concern about protecting him? Don't you have a concern about who he throws the football to?' |

Manning received a phone call from Irsay early Monday, Feb. 6, who wanted to congratulate New York Giants QB Eli Manning for his Super Bowl XLVI win.

One thing he and I are not going to do is give a set date where it's like a game. We'll handle it the way it should be handled.' |
