Description: Denver quarterback Peyton Manning didn't win the NFL's MVP award but he was honored as the league's Comeback Player of the Year.
Insight: Manning sat out the 2011 season after undergoing multiple neck surgeries. The 36-year-old's strong play catapulted the Broncos to the AFC's best record during the regular season, though Denver would eventually lose to Baltimore in its first playoff game.

Description: Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning had another season end prematurely Saturday when Denver lost in double overtime to the Ravens in the divisional round. Manning threw for 290 yards and three touchdowns but was picked twice.
Insight: Manning's second interception led to a game-winning 47-yard field goal by Justin Tucker in with 13:18 left in double OT. It is the latest in a long line of playoff failures for the future Hall of Famer, though Denver's defense is more to blame in this one.

12/27/2012 11:41:00 AM
Description: Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning is still expected to see a full workload Sunday against the Chiefs despite Denver having already clinched the division.
Insight: This news comes from the Denver Post. Manning and the Broncos need a win Sunday to earn a first round bye so we wouldn't expect them to hold anything back. Manning should be an excellent fantasy play this week at home against a struggling Kansas City team.

Insight: Manning is having a great season, throwing for 4,016 yards and 31 touchdown passes in 14 games, but he's let fantasy owners down in the playoffs as Denver has built huge leads the last two games.

Insight: Manning is having another amazing season, averahing 296.4 ypg through the air with 26 touchdowns and just eight interceptions. He's thrown multiple touchdown passes in nine of 11 games this season. What neck injury?

Description: Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning dished out three touchdown passes Sunday in a win against Cincinnati.
Insight: He has now thrown for at least three touchdowns in each of his last five games. It wasn't all good for Manning though. He threw a pair of third quarter interceptions and by finishing with 291 yards, he broke his streak of five straight 300-yard games.

Description: Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning turned in a vintage performance Sunday against Oakland, throwing for 338 yards, three touchdowns and zero picks on 30-of-38 efficiency.
Insight: For a guy who critics have been saying can't throw anymore, Manning sure looked good Sunday. The Broncos QB threw three picks in Week 2; in the other three games he has an 8-to-0 TD/INT ratio.
 
9/10/2012 9:09:00 AM
Description: Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning was phenomenal in his debut with the team Sunday night against the Steelers, completing 19-of-26 passes and averaging 9.7 yards per attempt.
Insight: Manning finished with 253 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions. These were very encouraging signs for those who drafted the Broncos QB expecting a return to form after four neck surgeries.
 
8/22/2012 5:24:00 PM
Description: According to several reports, Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning is having a difficult time throwing to his right. ESPN's John Clayton and Scouts Inc. analyst Matt Williamson said while Manning was his usual self throwing to his left, he had issues throwing to the opposite side, according to ESPN AFC West blogger Bill Williamson.
Insight: It's difficult to believe Manning will ever be the same player he was with the Colts, which makes his current price tag pretty steep (ADP: 6.11).
 
8/19/2012 10:23:00 AM
Description: Though Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning's line didn't look great Saturday, there are some positives to take away from the game. Manning threw two picks but he had a dropped TD pass and took his first hit since undergoing four neck surgeries.
Insight: Manning was drilled by defensive end Bruce Irvin but he got back up and threw a 22-yard pass to Brandon Stokley on the next play. Former Colts teammate and new Broncos tight end Jacob Tamme then dropped a wide-open TD pass six seconds before the half.
 
8/18/2012 10:54:00 PM
Description: Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning had a rough half in the Broncos' preseason game Saturday against the Seahawks, completing 16-of-23 passes but tossing two interceptions and no touchdowns.
Insight: That Manning managed to walk away unscathed after a full half of football is more important than the numbers he put up, but we'd like to see him start getting in sync with his receivers before we fully recommend him as a QB1.
 
8/15/2012 10:45:00 AM
Description: Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning told Jim Rome on Rome "My arm has a lot of yards and a lot of touchdowns on it, so it's probably not going to be the same as it was when it was 22, but I still think it can complete some passes."
Insight: Manning looked a little rusty, but healthy in the Broncos first preseason game. If he and the receiving corps get on the same page, he may not need the 22-year-old version of Manning because he's a lot smarter than he was 14 years ago.
 
8/9/2012 10:00:00 PM
Description: In his Broncos debut, quarterback Peyton Manning completed four of seven passes for 44 yards and an interception.
Insight: Manning's interception wasn't really his fault as the ball fell through his receiver's hands before Chicago safety Major Wright reeled it in on the deflection. Don't expect Manning to get too many reps during Denver's exhibition slate as the Broncos will be looking to preserve the 36-year-old for the regular season.
 
8/9/2012 10:03:00 AM
Description: According to NFL.com, Broncos VP John Elway said quarterback Peyton Manning will play "one or two series" in Thursday's preseason game against the Colts.
Insight: Manning will be taking part in his first live game action in 19 months after having four neck surgeries last offseason. How he looks in limited action Thursday may show us what to expect from him this season. The key factors to look for will be how Manning's arm strength has progressed and how he reacts if he takes a hit.
