The Denver Broncos and the Indianapolis Colts are playing one of the most anticipated games of the season on Sunday night football when Peyton Manning makes his return to the city where he won a Super Bowl and for the fantasy football matchup, some players to start and sit for the game includes Peyton Manning, Andrew Luck, Eric Decker, Trent Richardson, Julius Thomas and Demaryius Thomas.
Manning is an obvious start for the game and he is having an amazing season with 22 touchdowns and just two interceptions and he is setting records with every game he plays and he is competing over 74 percent of his passes, which is just insane. The team is scoring in bunches and playing better than anyone else in the league and the Colts are sure to give him a nice reception on Sunday night.
Eric Decker and Julius Thomas are players to start and so are all the players on the Broncos offense, including Demaryius Thomas and Wes Welker, while Knowshon Moreno is also a start option. For the Colts Trent Richardson and Andrew Luck are good options, as is TY Hilton and Reggie Wayne at wide receiver. Luck has the chance to put up some solid numbers and once the game starts it should be a good contest between the two quarterbacks.
Last week the Colts and the Chargers played on Monday Night Football: The San Diego Chargers and the Indianapolis Colts finished off Week 6 of the NFL season with a game on Monday night football and looking ahead to next week, the Seattle Seahawks and the Arizona Cardinals will be playing to start Week 7 and one of the biggest games on the docket will be the Denver Broncos visiting the Colts in Indianapolis.
The Colts went into the Monday Night Football game after winning against the Seattle Seahawks and the team faces a rough stretch when they have to play a number of tough teams in late games, including the Broncos next week. The team is playing three straight games and four of five matchups in the evening starting with San Diego, as they play the Denver Broncos on Sunday Night Football in Week 7 before having a bye and then they will play against the Houston Texans on NBC again for the SNF game. Following a home game against the Rams, the team plays another night game on Thursday night football matching up with the Tennessee Titans.
The Broncos are coming into the game next week as favorites as they are still undefeated at 6-0 and the matchup is very anticipated, as it is the first time that quarterback Peyton Manning will be returning to Indianapolis for the first time since leaving the Colts. The Colts are coming into the game after winning four of its first five games of the season and after going on the tough road stretch, Indianapolis will finish the team with a road game against the Cincinnati Bengals before playing at home for a divisional game against the Houston Texans. The team will then hit the road against the Kansas City Chiefs and then they will face off against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 17 of the season.
The San Diego Chargers have looked much improved under new head coach Mike McCoy and Philip Rivers has had a bit of a resurgence under his new offense. The team has alternated wins and losses to start the season and in the back stretch they have some difficult games, including multiple division games and matchups against the NFC East. The team starts with three of four games on the road, including at Washington against the Redskins and they will be home for the first of two games against the Denver Broncos and that will be tough if the team is still undefeated.
The following two games will be on the road against the Miami Dolphins and then the Kansas City Chiefs and then the team is home against the Cincinnati Bengals and the New York Giants before hitting the road to play Denver again. The team finishes the season with three straight divisional games, including home against the Oakland Raiders and then against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 17. The team was ranked in the top five in passing yards per game and Rivers has been much smarter protecting the football this season despite dealing with a number of injuries to his wide receivers.
