Assuming the QB is on the team's roster on March 10, his $19 million salary for the 2015 season would become fully guaranteed. At this point it would be a surprise if Manning didn't return to play under new coach Gary Kubiak. The veteran QB, who turns 39 in March, is coming off a 2014 season in which he recorded 4,727 passing yards to go along with 39 TDs and 15 picks.","date":"Wed Jan 21"},"fullName":"Peyton Manning","lastPoints":8,"pointsSEASON":307,"seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"The reigning fantasy points champion lost Eric Decker, arguably the Broncos' most productive wideout, to free agency. But don't shed a tear for Manning, who still has two dominant receivers in Demaryius Thomas and tight end Julius Thomas, as well as superb dink-and-dunk receivers in free-agent acquisition Emmanuel Sanders and Wes Welker (once he returns from his four-game suspension). Don't expect him to repeat last year's record-breaking season, especially since he is 38 and has four matchups against the tough NFC West. But even if Manning takes a step back, he has a very good shot at defending his fantasy points title.","seasonId":2014,"date":"Tue Sep 2"},"positionRank":4,"totalPoints":307}
