    And Who Said Peyton Couldn't Throw Anymore?

    Picked him up in the 5th round while people in my league wasted picks on Cam, Staff, and Eli in the early rounds.

    I'm not sure if there has been a better fantasy QB than Peyton up until now. I guess you could argue RG3, Ryan and Brees. But Peyton has easily been a top 5 fantasy QB. Other than the week 2 stinker game in ATL, he's been a fantasy monster.

    Go Peyton.

    I'm in a Keeper League and I stuck with him. I had the faith. Got by last season with mostly Tebow.

    Please don't act like u expected this type of production. You sound like the guy in my league said he that "knew" AJ green would be better than Megatron. Fantasy is a ton of luck, sometimes u hit with a guy like Peyton sometimes you don't. Next year u will prolly pick a guy like Matt Ryan and he will comeback to earth.

    Peyton has still got it. Brees was outclassed and undersized

    I got Matt Ryan at the end of the 6th round (72nd overall). So I think I made out as well.

    Actually I kind of expected this out of Peyton, and so did a lot of other people. It is Peyton Manning were talking about.

    I'm just happy for Peyton Manning. Last year he thought he may never play again, now he is playing at a pro-bowl level.

    That helps, but Peyton has been doing this every week.

    Whoever rolled the dice on Pwyton in their fantasy drafts ended up with a steal! He's as good as ever. Colour me impressed.

    Other than the Texans game I haven't watched much Broncos action. I feel the same thing Zeta does, one good blindside hit and even I would feel uncomfortable if he didn't jump right up.

    You expected him to return to being a top 5 QB coming off injury? You may have expected it, but not many people saw this coming. 2000 yards in 17 TD? Insane

    Dude, we're talking about Peyton Manning. Arguably one of the greatest QB's of all time. However I will say this. After seeing his week 2 performance in Atlanta, I was a bit worried.

    Manning went for $15 in an Auction League, my 2nd Fantasy League I'm in. Starting balance $200 and the rest Standard.

    Brees $64
    Rodgers $64
    Brady $61
    Stafford $39
    Scam $36
    Rivers $25
    Manning/Vick at $15

    RGIII went for $3

    I dont think people were concerned with his arm or his ability to throw. Worries were with his durability and neck.

    $15 was a big bargain, I took him and took Cutler as a back-up just in case

    Got Matt Ryan in the 6th round but RGIII has to be the steal of the drafts for QB's.

    Staff will come around. His first half schedule has been brutal, but his schedule softens up now. I'd definitely buy low on Staff if you need a QB.
