Over the last couple of seasons and honestly for most of his career, Eli Manning has not been even a starting caliber fantasy quarterback option in his 10 seasons with the Giants.
He has led the league in interceptions, made awful decisions, and has struggled mightily at times throughout his career, especially in the last couple of seasons.
But now, coming into this season, Eli and the New York Giants seem to be finally looking up with the addition of Victor Cruz, who tore his ACL last season, back into the starting lineup alongside sophomore sensation Odell Beckham Jr.

Along with his stacked receiving corp, Manning also has a new addition in running back Shane Vereen who was acquired via free agency and the New England Patriots in the offseason.
With all these new targets and past success, I think this could be Manning’s year to finally be back in the conversation as a starting caliber fantasy football quarterback.
In Week 1, he and the Giants matchup with the Dallas Cowboys in what should be a shoot out if history has any say in things. So, I see Eli having a quality start to the season.
If you don’t have one of the top couple of quarterbacks, consider starting Eli in most leagues for Week 1.
