The Super Bowl MVP played fantastic in the playoffs and has earned every ounce of praise that he has gotten. Without Eli Manning, the New York Giants wouldn’t have made it anywhere close to where they made it. That said, what can we expect out of Manning in the 2008 fantasy football season?

QB Tom Brady, New England Patriots
