Despite the tough year for the team, really bad line and running game the first half of the year, and primary guys missing time Manning had a fine statistical year.
Second most completions of his career (380), highest % (66%), 4th most yards (4299), 3rd fewest ints (11), 4th highest passer rating (92.4).
Assuming he plays all 16 -- what would a good year look like this year?
(And for all the stats are for losers guys, good news, you can ignore this thread because it's about stats!)

I always try to have them switch places. So for instance. If you put Stafford on the Rams and Goff on the lions.... Rams May have been SB champs last year and the Lions would have been picking in the top 10.
Stafford is a 10 year vet, with some huge seasons under his belt. It's not like he's a bottom 3rd QB, he's a pretty good QB. I'd expect him to be a touch better than a 3rd year pro who's really only started 2.5 years.
The Rams were a good quarter from winning a ring. Nominally better play at QB gets them over the hump, which I wouldn't bet against next year.
That Rams team was stacked. They beat the Boys in the playoffs with their defense and run game, Goff played okay against the Saints, but they struggled a ton because the Saints sold out against the run. They scored 3 points against the Pats.
The Rams are pretty old as well. Kupp was very important to that offense and he is coming off a ACL late in the season. Gurley is a massive question mark. And of course the dreaded superbowl hangover.
I think the Niners are the suprise team in that division this year as long as Jimmy G can stay healthy. McKinnon is coming back off injury, but he got hurt in August. I think he has a massive year this year and will definitely be targeting him in Fantasy.
