LAC QB Philip Rivers - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Denver Broncos

The Chargers offense will be at full strength in Week 17 with a chance to go from wild-card playoff team to home field advantage and playing against a potential lame duck coach in Denver's Vance Joseph. This is an offense to trust in the final week of the regular season, with an implied team total of 24 after being installed in Vegas as 6-point favorites.

LAC QB Philip Rivers - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Baltimore Ravens (Saturday)

Los Angeles hosts Baltimore on a short week with a chance to get its offense back to full strength, with the return of Melvin Gordon and possibly Keenan Allen. This game has a low over/under of 43.5 points, with the Chargers having an implied total of 23.75, lower than recent weeks against a strong Baltimore defense. The Ravens rank 4th in aFPA to QBs this season. Seeing as Rivers has been mostly a floor QB1 play this season, we have concerns in this match-up that he will not post QB1 numbers, given the match-up and low volume passing numbers he's posted in some games with Melvin Gordon active this season.

LAC QB Philip Rivers - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Kansas City Chiefs (Thursday)

In a huge divisional showdown on Thursday night, the Chargers and Chiefs have the second highest over/under on the Week 15 slate, with Los Angeles still with an above average 24.75 implied total despite being road underdogs. Philip Rivers streak of multiple touchdowns in every game this season came to an end last week, surprisingly against Cincinnati. Nevertheless, the Chiefs rank just 31st in aFPA to QBs. Rivers had his best fantasy day of the season in Week 1 against this defense and should return to QB1 numbers in Week 15.

LAC QB Philip Rivers - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. Cincinnati Bengals

The Chargers face one of, if not, the worst defenses in the league at this point in the season this week. Los Angeles has an implied team total of 31 points. Only the Saints implied total is higher. Plus, Philip Rivers has thrown multiple touchdown passes every game this season. The Bengals are 28th in aFPA to QBs. Rivers, without Melvin Gordon, appears primed for a high volume, high efficiency passing attack to put him near the top of QB rankings in Week 14.

LAC QB Philip Rivers - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at Pittsburgh Steelers

The Chargers have an average implied team total of just over 24 points this week, but with negative game script expected as a road underdog, and Melvin Gordon out this week with a knee injury, Philip Rivers fantastic efficiency should now add some passing volume. Pittsburgh is fifth in aFPA to QBs, but Rivers had been match-up proof this season when it comes to providing a stable QB1 floor. He's averaging more than 19 fantasy points per game, and when he has more than 35 attempts, Rivers has reached that 19 points threshold each time. Rivers is a solid, safe option this week.

LAC QB Philip Rivers - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs. Arizona Cardinals

Philip Rivers has multiple touchdowns in every game this season and 17+ points in all but two games this year. The Chargers have an implied team total of 28 points, an attractive projection. The Cardinals may be ranked second in aFPA to QBs, but this defense on the road has allowed at least 17 fantasy points in each game away from home to this position. For these reasons, Rivers is still a viable QB1.

LAC QB Philip Rivers - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Denver Broncos

Fantasy owners should temper expectations for Philip Rivers this week, despite the fact that he's posted multiple touchdowns in every game this season. Denver is eighth in aFPA to QBs this season, and Rivers in his last four games against the Broncos is only averaging 14.2 FP/G. Combine that with Denver ranking just 18th in aFPA to RBs, and that may foreshadow a run-heavy attack for Los Angeles in a game where positive game script is expected in the second half. The potential for low pass volume for Week 11 knocks Rivers out of the QB1 ranks this week.
