Manning completed 21 of 44 pass attempts for 229 yards, zero touchdowns and one interception, also losing a fumble during Sunday's 17-0 loss to Tennessee.
EDGE 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 it's 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 23rd or worst in quarterback scoring three times since Week 12, a trend that has potential to continue when the Giants take on a Colts defense that entered the weekend allowing 19 passing touchdowns in 2018, tied for seventh-fewest in the NFL.

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."
EDGE 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 owed $16.5 million and wouldn't necessarily be locked in as the starter throughout the season in the event a young quarterback emerges as a viable successor.

Manning completed 14 of 22 passes for 197 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 40-16 win over the Redskins.
EDGE 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.

Coach Pat Shurmur confirmed Manning will get another start Week 14 at Washington, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE 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.

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.
EDGE 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 3rd-and-2 in overtime, which led to Aldrick Rosas' go-ahead 44-yard field goal that eventually proved to be the difference. Manning will look to get his numbers back up to par when he faces the Redskins in Week 14 matchup.

Manning completed 26 of 37 pass attempts for 297 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Sunday's 25-22 loss to the Eagles.
EDGE 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 scoresheet. He'll look to bounce back next Sunday against the Bears, but a matchup against one of the league's best defenses isn't exactly ideal for the veteran.

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.
EDGE Analysis
Manning was locked in with his passes, completing a jaw-dropping 94.4 percent of his throws and finding Saquon Barkley and Odell Beckham, Jr. for short touchdowns. 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 12.83 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 near-perfect effort versus the Eagles in Week 12

Manning completed 19 of 31 passes for 188 yards and three touchdowns in Monday night's 27-23 win over the 49ers.
EDGE 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, giving him a season high in passing scores. Without any turnovers either, Manning heads into Week 11's matchup against the Buccaneers in relatively good form.

Coach Pat Shurmur confirmed that Manning would retain the starting quarterback job for Monday's game against the 49ers, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
In light of Manning's poor play through the Giants' first eight games, there was some thought that Shurmur might make a change behind center coming out of a Week 9 bye, but those plans likely went out the window after rookie fourth-round pick Kyle Lauletta was arrested Oct. 30 on three charges. 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. It's worth noting that Shurmur wouldn't commit to Manning starting for the remainder of the season, according to Ryan Dunleavy of NJ.com, so the veteran signal-caller will need to step up his play if he's to earn future opportunities beyond Week 10. Manning draws a favorable matchup against a non-contending San Francisco squad short on secondary talent, but his lack of mobility in the pocket and poor downfield accuracy could continue to hinder his effectiveness.

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.
EDGE 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 8 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 best plan is to stick with Manning for now and prepare to draft a quarterback early next year, though it might make sense to give Lauletta a chance in a game if he looks comfortable in practice later this season. The team has been keeping Tanney active as the No. 2 quarterback on Sundays.
