Eli Manning had a very good outing in Week 4 of the 2009 fantasy football season. However, an Eli Manning injury in the fourth quarter has his fantasy owners worried. When dropping back to pass, Manning apparently hurt his heel – without being touched.
The fact that it was a non-contact injury could be bad news. Sometimes when tendons or ligaments pop, it happens when no one else is around.
The good news for Manning, the New York Giants and the fantasy football world is the fact that Manning was able to walk around after the game. However, be sure to keep a close eye on his health this week.
Backing up Manning on the Giants is David Carr. If you have Manning, you may consider picking up Carr off of the waiver wire. That said, Carr has failed so often in fantasy football that you’d probably be better off looking elsewhere — or praying that Manning is indeed okay.
