Mediocre season
Manning finished the season with passable cosmetic stats -- 4,299 yards (7.5 YPA), 21 passing touchdowns and 11 interceptions -- but a look under the hood tells a different story.
Analysis: Manning took 47 sacks (10th in the NFL) and lost 358 yards (6th) while also fumbling seven times. In other words, he got nailed for huge losses like many scrambling quarterbacks do without making up for it with positive gains. His touchdown total on the 10th-most attempts (576) in the league was also disappointing, given the ample skill-position talent the Giants had on hand. Per OverTheCap.com, the Giants could save nearly $17 million in cap space if they cut him before June 1, but as of now,…read more

Throws two TD passes
Manning completed 24 of 41 pass attempts for 301 yards, two touchdowns and one interception during Sunday's 36-35 loss to the Cowboys. He also lost a fumble.
Analysis: Manning completed just 59 percent of his attempts, but some big plays allowed him to top 300 passing yards for the fifth time this season. He connected with Evan Engram and Cody Latimer for touchdowns, upping his total to 21 on the season. Unfortunately, Manning also turned the ball over 15 times and failed to take full advantage of the wealth of options at the skill positions that the Giants boast. This ineptitude could force the team to move on from Manning during the offseason, whether it be…read more

Starting Week 17
Coach Pat Shurmur called Manning the Giants' starting quarterback for Week 17 against the Cowboys, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Consequently, Shurmur squashed speculation about whether 2018 fourth-round pick Kyle Lauletta will earn a start in his first pro season. When asked whether Lauletta will see game action for the second time this season, Shurmur replied, "We'll see." Shurmur's decision is not a surprise, considering Manning is on the doorstep of 4,000 yards for the fourth time in five seasons and is posting his best yards per attempt (7.5) since 2011. On the other hand, the Giants are out of postseason…read more

Tops 300 yards in loss
Manning completed 25 of 33 passing attempts for 309 yards, a touchdown and an interception in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Colts. He also rushed twice for no yards and another touchdown.
Analysis: Manning found Scott Simonson for a three-yard touchdown to help the Giants jump out to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter. While he wouldn't pass for another score, he would add one on the ground in the third, but in the end, it would not be enough for the victory. The 37-year-old may have played his final game for New York, as there's been speculation that he would be replaced by rookie Kyle Lauletta for the final week of the regular season at home against Dallas prior to being released in the…read more

Won't be replaced Week 16
Manning will get the start Week 16 in Indianapolis, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
Analysis: Coach Pat Shurmur didn't wait long to kill any speculation about Kyle Lauletta getting the Week 16 start now that the Giants have been eliminated from playoff contention. There is some chance the rookie could take snaps as a mid-game replacement, especially if Manning struggles early against a red-hot Colts defense. Shurmur didn't comment on the plan for Week 17.

Two turnovers in loss to Titans
Manning completed 21 of 44 pass attempts for 229 yards, zero touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 17-0 loss to Tennessee. He also lost a fumble.
Analysis: Manning committed two vital turnovers during Sunday's loss -- throwing an interception inside the Titans' 30-yard line on the opening drive of the second half, and later fumbling while trying to avoid a sack, gifting Tennessee with a touchdown that helped push its lead to 14 points. It's been dismal both on the field and in fantasy for Manning, posting fewer than 14 points (standard scoring) in three of his past four outings, while committing six turnovers over that span. Manning has finished…read more

May stick with team in 2019
The Giants have been impressed with Manning's play in recent weeks and could keep the veteran quarterback on the roster in 2019, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. "He is, from what I understand, playing his way onto the roster in 2019," Rapoport said of Manning on NFL Network's "Good Morning Football Weekend" program. "Sources I talked to, were adamant, no decision has been made firmly. This is an offseason situation. But the way he has been playing, the way he has held up certainly opens up the possibility that he is back in 2019."
Analysis: It's quite the turnaround in fortunes for Manning, who looked to be in jeopardy of losing his starting role to either Kyle Lauletta or Alex Tanney heading into a Week 9 bye. Though the Giants could give Lauletta some reps in Weeks 16 and 17 if the team is officially eliminated from the postseason, Manning will at least be under center Sunday against the Titans after posting a 10:2 TD:INT and 7.6 YPA over the past five games. If the Giants do decide to bring Manning back in 2019, he would be…read more

Tosses three TDs in blowout win
Manning completed 14 of 22 passes for 197 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 40-16 win over the Redskins.
Analysis: Manning helped his team to a 34-0 halftime lead with touchdowns of three yards to Sterling Shepard and six yards to Bennie Fowler. He added an 11-yard touchdown to Russell Shepard to make it 40-0 before exiting in favor of backup Kyle Lauletta. While he won't benefit from the numerous short fields that were provided by facing a Mark Sanchez-led offense, Manning should get top receiver Odell Beckham (quadriceps) back against the Titans in Week 15.

Confirmed as Week 14 starter
Coach Pat Shurmur confirmed Manning will get another start Week 14 at Washington, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Manning doesn't deserve much of the credit for Sunday's upset win over the Bears, as he completed just 19 of 35 passes for 170 yards (4.9 per attempt) with a touchdown and an interception. He'll nonetheless continue to get the nod under center, though the Giants may want to take a look at rookie fourth-round pick Kyle Lauletta before the end of the season, perhaps in Week 16 or 17.

Underwhelming day in OT win
Manning completed 19 of 35 passes for 170 yards with a touchdown and an interception in the Giants' 30-27 overtime win over the Bears on Sunday.
Analysis: Manning mustered a scant 4.9 YPA and turned in his lowest passing yardage total of the season in a very tough matchup. The 15-year veteran was able to connect with Odell Beckham, Jr. for a one-yard score late in the third quarter, after the star receiver had notched the first passing touchdown of the day for the Giants with a nifty 49-yard connection with Russell Shepard on a trick play. The veteran signal-caller did come through with a clutch eight-yard completion to Sterling Shepard on…read more

Totals 297 passing yards
Manning completed 26 of 37 pass attempts for 297 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Sunday's 25-22 loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: Manning completed 70 percent of his passes and connected with eight different receivers as he delivered one of his better yardage totals of the season. He hit Saquon Barkley for a 13-yard touchdown in the first quarter and helped build a big early lead, but he also threw a poor interception as he tried to force the ball to Odell Beckham Jr. in the end zone just before halftime. Considering the final score of the game, Manning's mistake actually looms much larger than it would appear on the…read more

Solid in Week 11 win
Manning completed 17 of 18 passes for 231 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Giants' 38-35 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also lost a yard on his sole rush and fumbled once but recovered.
Analysis: Manning had only one incompletion -- a bad miss of a wide-open Saquon Barkley running free down the sideline -- but otherwise was more accurate than usual. Barkley did the rest of the damage on the ground, which helped lead to Manning's third-lowest passing yardage total of the season. Manning's 12.8 YPA was actually a season high, meaning that his stellar day didn't just consist of dink-and-dunk throws. He'll look to build on Sunday's effort versus the Eagles in Week 12.

Throws three touchdowns in comeback win
Manning completed 19 of 31 passes for 188 yards and three touchdowns in Monday night's 27-23 win over the 49ers.
Analysis: Manning's final touchdown went to Sterling Shepard with under a minute left to give New York a dramatic victory. Although penalties helped the Giants move down the field late, Manning found Evan Engram and Saquon Barkley for big gains to put them in scoring position. He also hooked up with star wideout Odell Beckham for his first two touchdowns of the evening, giving Manning a season high in passing scores. Without any turnovers, either, Manning heads into Week 11's matchup against the…read more

Keeps starting job for Week 10
Coach Pat Shurmur confirmed Manning would retain the starting quarterback job for Monday's game against the 49ers, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: In light of Manning's poor play through the Giants' first eight games, Shurmur could've made a change behind center coming out of a Week 9 bye, but any plans on that front likely went out the window after rookie fourth-round pick Kyle Lauletta was arrested Oct. 30 for three offenses in a traffic incident. Shurmur relayed Tuesday that Lauletta wouldn't be suspended by the team following the arrest, but the misstep will be enough for Manning to get at least one more start. Shurmur wouldn't commit…read more

Likely to keep job
Coach Pat Shurmur said he hasn't talked to the front office about Manning and the quarterback situation, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.
Analysis: Manning's continued struggles have led to whispers about Kyle Lauletta or even Alex Tanney getting a look at some point this season, but there isn't much reason to think it will happen when the team comes out of a Week 9 bye. Lauletta is a rookie fourth-round pick from an FCS program, while Tanney is a 30-year-old journeyman with 14 career pass attempts to his name. The likely plan is to stick with Manning for now and prepare to draft a quarterback early next year, though it makes more sense to…read more

Commits two turnovers in loss to Redskins
Manning completed 30 of 47 pass attempts for 316 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions during Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Redskins.
Analysis: Manning attempted 47 passes as the Giants played from behind for much of the day, topping the 300-yard mark for the third time in four games. Unfortunately, he threw interceptions in the second and third quarters as his side tried to come back and didn't throw a touchdown pass until he found Evan Engram from two yards out near the end of the game. Manning now has a 4:5 TD:INT mark over his last four games and his team hasn't surpassed 20 points in any of the last three. He'll go back to the…read more

Will remain starter
Coach Pat Shurmur confirmed Tuesday that Manning would remain the Giants' starting quarterback Week 8 against the Redskins, Ryan Dunleavy of NJ.com reports.
Analysis: Shurmur also relayed that New York wouldn't explore the trade market for another quarterback ahead of the Oct. 30 deadline, but that was always a likely outcome with the 1-6 Giants trending toward another losing season. The 37-year-old Manning no longer looks like the solution behind center for the Giants, but he may have at least temporarily delayed a changing of the guard by submitting one of his better outings of the season Monday in a 23-20 loss to the Falcons, completing 27 of 38 passes…read more

Nearly hits 400 yards
Manning completed 27 of 38 passes for 399 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 23-20 loss to the Falcons.
Analysis: Manning had his share of head-scratching plays, but a trio of long gains ultimately saw him finish with a season high in passing yards. In fact, Manning stunningly completed three throws of 50-plus yards, including a 58-yarder to Sterling Shepard on the team's final offensive drive. That series was capped by a one-yard touchdown to Odell Beckham, but only after two feeble attempts from the 37-year-old Manning to sneak it in himself. Overall, it was a greatly improved showing from the…read more

Poor game in prime time
Manning completed 24 of 43 passes for 281 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Thursday's 34-13 loss to the Eagles. He also took four sacks and fumbled, though it was recovered by his own team.
Analysis: Manning's stat line was poor, but it understates how badly he actually played, throwing passes too high, too low and off target. He was bailed out on some catch and runs by Saquon Barkley and Odell Beckham, and Beckham again caught some balls that were off the mark. The Giants don't have great alternatives on the roster, but it's hard to see how a team can tolerate this level of QB play given the top-shelf offensive skill players around him.

Notches season high in yardage
Manning completed 22 of 36 pass attempts for 326 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions during Sunday's 33-31 loss to the Panthers.
Analysis: Manning averaged a healthy 9.1 yards per attempt as he set a new season high in yardage. His production was fueled by some big plays to his top weapons, including fourth-quarter touchdown passes to Odell Beckham Jr. and Saquon Barkley as the Giants nearly pulled off a breathtaking comeback. Manning did throw interceptions on back-to-back drives in the second half, ending a streak of three straight games without a pick, which was his longest since the 2012 season. The veteran certainly has the…read more

Inefficient performance
Manning dink and dunked his way to 255 yards and a touchdown on 41 attempts (6.2 YPA) against the Saints on Sunday. He didn't throw an interception but took three sacks.
Analysis: Manning completed 76 percent of his passes, but everything was underneath, and the team's longest pass play was a 27-yard catch and run by Odell Beckham. The schedule doesn't get any easier with the Giants traveling to face the Panthers next week.

Bounces back
Manning completed 25 of 29 passes for 297 yards (10.2 YPA), two touchdowns and no interceptions Sunday against the Texans. He took four sacks.
Analysis: This was a vast improvement from last week's debacle as Manning showed he can still be competent when he has time. Pat Shurmur's system and Manning's elite weapons could carry him to a useful fantasy season if the line holds up.

Struggles continue
Manning completed 33 of 44 passes for 279 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Cowboys. He added four rushing yards on three carries.
Analysis: Manning was at the mercy of his underwhelming offensive line in this one, frequently throwing check-down after check-down without leading his team to a single point in its first six possessions. The quarterback was ultimately sacked six times before the final whistle and never proved effective moving the ball through the air until garbage time. While his fantasy stock will continue to be buoyed by the impressive talent around him at each skill position, Manning's porous offensive line and…read more

Tosses pick-six in Week 1 loss
Manning completed 23 of 37 passes for 224 yards and an interception while failing to throw a touchdown and rushing once for two yards in Sunday's 20-15 Week 1 loss to Jacksonville.
Analysis: Little was expected of Manning against Jacksonville's vaunted pass defense, so this fantasy dud was hardly surprising. His lone interception was a costly mistake, as it was returned by Myles Jack for a 32-yard touchdown. On the bright side, Manning appears to be flanked by two elite playmakers now after having none for most of last season. Odell Beckham caught 11 balls for 111 yards while Saquon Barkley broke off a 68-yard touchdown run.

Expect lots of safe throws
Manning, who completed 17 of 23 passes Friday night, has a good chance to set a career high in completion percentage this year under new coach Pat Shurmur, who presided over Sam Bradford's record-setting 2016 (71.6 percent) as well as Case Keenum's 67.6 percent last season, the Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Analysis: Manning's career high is 63.1 percent (2014), so it's not an especially high bar to clear. Having Saquon Barkley, Sterling Shepard, Evan Engram and Odell Beckham around should also help, and Manning will be asked to move more and complete passes from outside the pocket. Manning's ceiling is probably capped by his lack of rushing ability and middling accuracy, but this is the best system and personnel he's had in his entire career.

Sharp in full half Friday
Manning completed 17 of 23 passes for 188 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in the Giants' 22-16 preseason win over the Jets on Friday.
Analysis: Although he never found the end zone while playing the entire first half, Manning led the Giants to field goals on each of his last four drives. The veteran quarterback was sharp while connecting often with Sterling Shepard and Evan Engram before the latter exited the game with a concussion. Friday likely represented Manning's final taste of exhibition action, meaning he'd next suit up for a tough Week 1 matchup against the Jaguars. Although Engram's status is now in question, Manning is likely…read more

Extensive snap count expected Friday
Manning may play at least a half during Friday's preseason game against the Jets, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
Analysis: As is tradition for many teams, the Giants will utilize the first-team offense for a large portion of their third preseason game, but the skill positions won't be fully stocked for Manning. Saquon Barkley has been tending to a left hamstring injury the last two weeks and isn't expected to play. Meanwhile, Manning's other top offensive weapon, Odell Beckham, has been taking it easy this month after last year's ankle woes and also may not suit up Friday. Manning will thus get extensive work with…read more

Manning remained on the field for extra work prior to Friday's preseason game against the Lions, which Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com views as a good indication that the QB won't play in the contest.

Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com relays that he'd be "surprised to see much" from Manning in Friday's preseason game against the Lions.

Gets two drives in preseason opener
Manning played the first two drives of Thursday's preseason opener against the Browns. He completed four of seven passes for 26 yards without a touchdown or interception in the 20-10 loss.
Analysis: Manning led New York to a field goal on the game's first drive, though a 39-yard run by rookie Saquon Barkley accounted for most of the team's yardage on that possession. The veteran quarterback was sacked on his final snap, but there was no sign of injury on the play and he was scheduled to come out after two drives regardless. It's tough to make many judgements about Manning based on this performance considering premier receiving option Odell Beckham sat this one out.

Collecting $5 million bonus
Manning will collect a $5 million roster bonus, ESPN.com's Jordan Raanan reports.
Analysis: The Giants would've needed to release Manning by 4 p.m. Saturday to avoid paying him the bonus. This leaves no question he's part of the team's plan for 2018, though his presence on the roster doesn't preclude the use of the No. 2 overall pick on a quarterback. The Giants recently gave LT Nate Solder the largest contract for an offensive lineman in league history, perhaps making up for the losses of C/G Weston Richburg (concussion) and G Justin Pugh (back) in free agency.

Head coach Pat Shurmer expressed confidence in Manning on Friday, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports. "I think he's got years left," Shurmer said. "How much? I don't know. But I think he has time left and I look forward to working with him."
Analysis: In addition to good vibes from the new head honcho, Manning was given a vote of confidence from another person in the Giants hierarchy, general manager Dave Gettleman, who said the quarterback has "plenty of arm talent and can win games." The comments come on the heels of a dismal campaign in which Manning's 210-start streak in the regular season came to an end, but his 80.4 quarterback rating was only his second-lowest since 2008, which may be on the mind of Giants brass.

Manning completed 10 of 28 pass attempts for 132 yards, one touchdown and on interception during Sunday's 18-10 win over the Redskins.
Analysis: Manning averaged a paltry 4.7 yards per attempt and completed just 36 percent of his passes, but opportunistic touchdowns on the first two drives were enough to earn a win in the finale. The veteran certainly didn't benefit from numerous injuries to the skill positions and poor offensive line play this season, but he finished with his lowest yardage total since 2008 and his lowest touchdown output in any full season in his NFL career. Manning has two years left on his current contract, but the…read more

Giants interim head coach Steve Spagnuolo said that his "hope" is that Manning will take every snap in Sunday's game against the Redskins, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.
Analysis: Since it's ultimately up to Spagnuolo to decide if he wants to pull Manning from the contest at any point, it looks like the quarterback will see a full slate of snaps in the regular-season finale. With that in mind, rookie Davis Webb, who will be dressed as the backup over Geno Smith for the first time this season, probably won't be in store for a cameo in his NFL debut, as some have speculated. Changes are afoot for the Giants in 2018 with the team naming Dave Gettleman its new general…read more

Manning said Tuesday during a weekly radio appearance that he isn't considering retirement and hopes to remain with the Giants in 2018, Tom Rock of Newsday reports. "I don't know what's going to happen, I don't think anyone does," Manning said of the Giants' plans for him next season. "I love playing football, I love playing quarterback, and I want to continue to do it for the Giants. This is the only team I ever wanted to play for and I don't want to change. I do understand how this season has gone and new people [are] coming in. If they want to make a change, then we'll go down that road."
Analysis: With only 18 touchdown passes through 14 appearances this season, Manning is on pace to finish with his fewest scores since 2013, when he also tossed a career-high 27 interceptions. An injury-ravaged receiving corps hasn't helped Manning's cause during the Giants' nightmarish 2-13 campaign, but it's unclear if the soon-to-be 37-year-old is a viable starting option for a contending club at this stage of his career. The future of Manning, who will start the Giants' season finale against the…read more

Interim head coach Steve Spagnuolo said Manning will start against Washington in Week 17.
Analysis: Manning finished Sunday's dreadful showing against Arizona 27-of-45 for 263 yards and two interceptions in the embarrassing shutout loss. The Giants have nothing to play for and rookie third-round pick Davis Webb could use the evaluation reps, but as of Sunday the team is saying it will be Manning to start against Washington. Spagnuolo's statement is far from binding, however, and ownership could weigh in to change his view on the matter prior to next week's game. For now, though, Manning…read more

Likely to start Week 16
Giants interim head coach Steve Spagnuolo said it's a pretty good assumption Manning will start against the Cardinals in Week 16, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.
Analysis: Manning enjoyed a vintage performance in Sunday's 34-29 loss to the Eagles, completing 37 of 57 passes for 434 yards with three touchdowns and an interception. There's been talk of the Giants taking a look at rookie third-round pick Davis Webb, but it's also possible the team decides to let Manning finish out the season. It sounds as if the veteran will get at least one more start, heading to Arizona for a tough matchup against the Cardinals on Christmas Eve.

Manning completed 37 of 57 passes for 434 yards, three touchdowns and an interception during Sunday's 34-29 loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: You could almost hear Green Day's "Time of Your Life" playing as Manning carved up Philly's secondary on his way to his first 400-yard game since Week 6 of 2016. After the Giants gave away the team's early lead, Manning nearly brought the Giants back on a 57-yard catch-and-run to Tavarres King late in the third quarter, but a two-point conversion attempt failed, and the Eagles padded their lead before the final whistle. Manning will be hard to trust as the season closes out. The Giants may want…read more

Getting another start
Manning will get another start Week 15 against the Eagles, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: While the Giants may still decide to take a look at Davis Webb before the end of the season, it apparently won't happen this week. Manning didn't exactly make the best case for himself in Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Cowboys, completing 31 of 46 passes for only 228 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. In his defense, the Giants committed a number of ugly drops when the game was still competitive, while both interceptions occurred late in the fourth quarter in desperation mode.

Manning completed 31 of 46 pass attempts for 228 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions during Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Cowboys.
Analysis: Manning managed a paltry five yards per attempt as he produced just one pass play over 16 yards on the day. He managed to refrain from turning the ball over until the fourth quarter, when he unfortunately threw interceptions on back-to-back possessions to end his team's opportunity to climb back into the game. Manning figures to remain the starter next week against the Eagles, but this performance doesn't bode well for his ability to produce against an even tougher opponent.

Back in as starter
Manning is slated to start Sunday's game against the Cowboys, NFL.com reports.
Analysis: Manning, who gave way to Geno Smith in Week 13, is back in as the Giants' starting QB one week after his 210-game starting streak was snapped due to a coaching decision made by Ben McAdoo. With McAdoo having since been dismissed by the team, the two-time Super Bowl MVP will once again helm the New York offense. The assignment makes Manning an option in deeper formats, but issues with the team's offensive line and supporting weapons limit the 36-year-old signal-caller's bankable fantasy upside…read more

Likely returning to starting job
Giants interim head coach Steve Spagnuolo is expected to name Manning as the starter for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Giants co-owner John Mara said the final decision will be up to Spagnuolo, who has no real incentive to start anyone besides Manning. The team's decision to bench Manning for Geno Smith was widely criticized, perhaps even contributing to the dismissals Monday of former head coach Ben McAdoo and former general manager Jerry Reese. While the Giants' long-term future at the position remains murky, Manning likely will get the nod in Week 14 for a home game against a shaky Dallas defense. With Evan…read more

Could regain starting job
The Giants might turn back to Manning as their starting quarterback, following Monday's firing of former head coach Ben McAdoo and former general manager Jerry Reese, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The decision to bench Manning for Geno Smith was met with plenty of criticism, as it ended Manning's streak of 210 starts and may have been interpreted to be critical of the 36-year-old quarterback. While not the same player he was in his prime, Manning wasn't the team's only problem this season while directing an injury-marred offense. The benching almost instantly led to retirement rumors, but Manning quickly responded by saying he plans to play in 2018. The Giants figure to bring in a new…read more

Plans to play next year
Manning said he plans to play in 2018, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: While Archie Manning recently hinted that his son might consider retirement, it sounds as if Eli wants to continue his playing career. The 37-year-old served in a backup role for the first time since 2004 in Sunday's 24-17 loss to Oakland, but he did look competent this season prior to being benched, completing 62.5 percent of his passes with a 14:7 TD:INT ratio while directing an injury-marred Big Blue offense.

Manning's father, Archie, intimated Thursday that his son could be considering retirement after the 2017 season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. "There's no sense speculating," Archie said, regarding Eli's future in the NFL. "If he's still there, we don't know what their future plans are, if other people are there. And you have no idea what other teams will think of a 37-year-old quarterback. You don't have any idea. Eli might say, 'I've had enough. I'm feeling good. I've got a beautiful wife, three little girls, I'm healthy. And that's it.' So there's no sense speculating."
Analysis: Manning will see his streak of 210 consecutive regular-season starts come to an end Sunday against the Raiders after Giants head coach Ben McAdoo announced earlier in the week that the 2-9 team would give Geno Smith a look as the team's starter. Manning, who is slated to serve as the backup, has reportedly been helping Smith prepare for the start behind closed doors this week, but it's believed he and the Giants could be headed for a parting of ways this offseason. Manning could have some…read more

Manning will be the backup to starting quarterback Geno Smith for Sunday's game in Oakland, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.
Analysis: On Tuesday, Giants head coach Ben McAdoo made the decision to elevate Smith and presumably rookie Davis Webb in what has become a lost season for the Giants. One day later, McAdoo termed Webb the No. 3 quarterback for Week 13, meaning Manning will be active and available behind Smith. Although an appearance this weekend isn't likely, Manning could see snaps if Smith struggles more than expected or succumbs to an injury.

Benched for rest of regular season
Manning will not start at quarterback in Sunday's game against the Raiders and is not expected to play for the rest of the regular season.
Analysis: Given that Manning has started 210 consecutive regular-season games for the Giants, coach Ben McAdoo gave Manning the option to start Sunday, but the veteran declined, which will put his streak to an end. Geno Smith will start at quarterback in Manning's place, with rookie Davis Webb expected to see some time under center eventually, too. As of now, it's unclear what Manning's future with the franchise is, but this is the first sign that his time in New York could be coming to a close.

Manning completed 13-of-27 passes for just 113 yards and an interception in Thursday's 20-10 loss to the Redskins.
Analysis: The Giants struggled offensively the whole evening. Their only touchdown came off an interception in the third-quarter. Manning did not get much help from his receivers, as there were several drops on the evening. He will look to bounce back when the Giants face the Raiders in Week 13.

Manning completed 19 of 35 passes for 205 yards without a touchdown or turnover while rushing twice for five yards in Sunday's 12-9 overtime upset of the Chiefs.
Analysis: It wasn't pretty, but Manning got the job done by protecting the ball in a defensive battle. He connected with Roger Lewis for an incredible 34-yard catch late in overtime to get to the two-yard line on 4th-and-6, setting up Aldrick Rosas' game-winning, 23-yard kick. Manning's touchdown-to-interception ratio remains an underwhelming 14:6.

Manning completed 28 of 37 pass attempts for 273 yards and two touchdowns Sunday against the 49ers. He also lost a fumble.
Analysis: Manning completed a superb 76 percent of his passes and finished with his third-highest yardage total of the season. He completed touchdown passes to Evan Engram and Roger Lewis, giving him multiple TDs for the second straight week. Manning has yet to put together a consistent run of strong form this season and has 14 touchdowns compared to 10 turnovers, but he's played more effectively of late and will go up against a beatable Chiefs defense in Week 11.

Analysis: Manning lost a fumble on the opening drive that set up a touchdown for the visitors and threw an interception that proceeded a field goal just before the half. He connected with Tavaris King for a short touchdown in the first and hit Evan Engram in the end zone in the fourth, but the game was already well out of reach by that point.
