I think more coverage will roll his way though, and I think there will be less throws as well. I don't know what that equals, but it definitely equals a little bit of unknown.

I understand the concern. Manning's arm has been looking pretty weak as of late and he looks like shit in their new run-oriented offense. There's a good chance his targets will see a sharp drop..
I still drafted him, though. Manning will likely do as he always does: start the season off on fire and then taper off near the postseason. Emmanuel Sanders is actually nursing a hamstring injury so I don't expect him to be as effective out of the gate. They also lost Julius Thomas and, despite what KnowMo would have you believe, Cody Latimer is not a viable receiving option. To me, that spells a heavy dose of CJ Anderson and Demaryius Thomas at least through the first month.
