Peyton Manning undergoes neck surgery: Out 6-8 weeks

[storminn0rm]

(TheHuddle) Indianapolis Colts QB Peyton Manning (neck) underwent a second neck surgery Monday, May 23, but the team is calling the operation a 'minimally invasive' surgery, and he expects to make 'a quick recovery.' He underwent the procedure due to a disc-related problem in his neck that has caused him pain recently.
Analysis: This sounds like a minor procedure but one that is of concern for fantasy owners to watch during the offseason. If Manning continues to have problems with the neck it could impact his productivity on the field. Keep an eye on his status over the next few months.



(TheHuddle) Updating a previous report, Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay said that QB Peyton Manning (neck) will be sidelined for six to eight weeks after undergoing neck surgery. Manning is expected to be ready for the start of training camp if it starts on time. Analysis: Manning has been incredibly durable over the course of his career in the NFL and this year figures to be no different. He should once again be viewed as a No. 1 fantasy quarterback in all formats.

Okay, glad to hear he has the issue addressed.

that being said though, he drops in my ratings since anytime you have neck or shoulder or back concerns, those don't completely go away, even with surgery. I think this may be the start of his decline.

Ya'll feel free to drop him from your rosters if I'm in the league with you.

Peyton Manning at 90% of what he has been is still 100% better than 27 other QBs who start on a given Sunday.

Amen! You're on a roll this afternoon.

Peyton Manning at 90% of what he has been is still 100% better than 27 other QBs who start on a given Sunday.

Not if that 10% loss means he gets hurt and can't play all season due to broken neck.
