Moving back into QB1?

Philip Rivers is coming off his best fantasy performance of the season and will now face the division rival Raiders in Oakland. The Raiders are literally a middle of the road defense against opposing quarterbacks. Last season, Rivers posted 359 yards with four touchdowns in the Oakland Coliseum and has eight total touchdowns in the last three away games against the Raiders. He’s a borderline QB1 this week.

Damn that Rivers

Philip Rivers has yet to surpass 20 FF points this season and I don’t see it happening against the Giants on the road. Jameis Winston torched New York for 26 FF points in Week 4, but that was in Tampa and Rivers doesn’t have a weapon like Mike Evans. One thing is certain; the Giants defense will get their first interception of the season as Philip averages one per game. With four teams on bye and multiple QB injuries popping up, Rivers is a C+ start this week.

Bounce Back Week

Last week was just the second time in 13 games Philip Rivers has failed to throw for 300-yards or double-digit scores. Pat Thorman highlighted the Eagles as a “funnel defense” based on their 11th-best run defense grade but fourth-worst pass coverage grade. “Teams are passing on them 70 percent of the time in neutral situations (most), while the Chargers are passing on 64 percent of situation-neutral plays (seventh-most).” After Eli Manning put up over 300-yards with three-touchdowns against the Eagles last week, Rivers feels like a safe bet to reach value (on FanDuel) at home, in what could be a shootout with the eighth-highest implied point total of the week.

The Rivers appears to be at low tide

Miraculously, Philip Rivers had more passing attempts of his season in Week three and ended with only 3.48 FF points. He’ll look to get off LA’s sinking ship at home against the Eagles which allowed Eli Manning to post an impressive (for him) 22.64 FF points in Week 2. Mike Williams will return in the next few weeks for even more offensive firepower but Philip is a QB2 until he can limit the interceptions.

Do Rivers run through Miami?

Rivers was kept quiet until the fourth quarter in Denver, but still showed he can chuck it with the best of them. We don’t know much about Miami’s defense because of their Week 1 bye, but they allowed the 3rd most FF points per game to quarterbacks last season. The first regular season game at their new home should make Rivers a borderline QB1.

Tough-ish Week 1 Matchup for Rivers

Philip Rivers is a gunslinger who amassed over 4,000 passing yards and a 1.6 touchdown to interception ratio in 2016. His first test is a steep one in Denver against last season’s #1 pass defense. Look for the Chargers to pound the rock first and use Keenan Allen with both all-star Tight Ends for the quick 5-7 yard gain to move the chains. The fantasy upside is limited for Rivers in Mile High, but then again anything can happen in divisional rivalries. There are better options, but Rivers is always a solid fantasy producer.

Philip Rivers 'fired up'

Philip Rivers talking about staying in San Diego. "I feel like it didn't end the way we wanted it to record-wise or season-wise, but the way it ended at Qualcomm, what could've been the end, I think will hopefully carry over into this new season," Rivers said. "That emotion and that atmosphere, I know you can't really recreate that from a 'farewell' sense. I know a lot of the emotion was built with that. But just the energy and feel in the stadium was crazy.

Fantasy Goo: Philip Rivers will be 34 years old for most of the 2016 season. Some of us might feel like he should be older as he has seemingly played a very long time. Only one time since 2008 has Philip not thrown for over 4,000 yards with him blazing 4,793 this past season. This season could be just as good or even better with Keenan Allen back (if he stays on the field) and someone that I am intrigued with playing his first season in San Diego, Travis Benjamin. Rivers to Benjamin on deep routes may offer BOOM potential for a draft choice that will not break the bank.

Last week was just the second time in 13 games Philip Rivers has failed to throw for 300-yards or double-digit scores. Pat Thorman highlighted the Eagles as a “funnel defense” based on their 11th-best run defense grade but fourth-worst pass coverage grade. “Teams are passing on them 70 percent of the time in neutral situations (most), while the Chargers are passing on 64 percent of situation-neutral plays (seventh-most).” After Eli Manning put up over 300-yards with three-touchdowns against the Eagles last week, Rivers feels like a safe bet to reach value (on FanDuel) at home, in what could be a shootout with the eighth-highest implied point total of the week.

The Rivers appears to be at low tide

Miraculously, Philip Rivers had more passing attempts of his season in Week three and ended with only 3.48 FF points. He’ll look to get off LA’s sinking ship at home against the Eagles which allowed Eli Manning to post an impressive (for him) 22.64 FF points in Week 2. Mike Williams will return in the next few weeks for even more offensive firepower but Philip is a QB2 until he can limit the interceptions.

Do Rivers run through Miami?

Rivers was kept quiet until the fourth quarter in Denver, but still showed he can chuck it with the best of them. We don’t know much about Miami’s defense because of their Week 1 bye, but they allowed the 3rd most FF points per game to quarterbacks last season. The first regular season game at their new home should make Rivers a borderline QB1.

Tough-ish Week 1 Matchup for Rivers

Philip Rivers is a gunslinger who amassed over 4,000 passing yards and a 1.6 touchdown to interception ratio in 2016. His first test is a steep one in Denver against last season’s #1 pass defense. Look for the Chargers to pound the rock first and use Keenan Allen with both all-star Tight Ends for the quick 5-7 yard gain to move the chains. The fantasy upside is limited for Rivers in Mile High, but then again anything can happen in divisional rivalries. There are better options, but Rivers is always a solid fantasy producer.

Philip Rivers 'fired up'

Philip Rivers talking about staying in San Diego. "I feel like it didn't end the way we wanted it to record-wise or season-wise, but the way it ended at Qualcomm, what could've been the end, I think will hopefully carry over into this new season," Rivers said. "That emotion and that atmosphere, I know you can't really recreate that from a 'farewell' sense. I know a lot of the emotion was built with that. But just the energy and feel in the stadium was crazy.

Fantasy Goo: Philip Rivers will be 34 years old for most of the 2016 season. Some of us might feel like he should be older as he has seemingly played a very long time. Only one time since 2008 has Philip not thrown for over 4,000 yards with him blazing 4,793 this past season. This season could be just as good or even better with Keenan Allen back (if he stays on the field) and someone that I am intrigued with playing his first season in San Diego, Travis Benjamin. Rivers to Benjamin on deep routes may offer BOOM potential for a draft choice that will not break the bank.

He’ll look to get off LA’s sinking ship at home against the Eagles which allowed Eli Manning to post an impressive (for him) 22.64 FF points in Week 2. Mike Williams will return in the next few weeks for even more offensive firepower but Philip is a QB2 until he can limit the interceptions.

Do Rivers run through Miami?

Rivers was kept quiet until the fourth quarter in Denver, but still showed he can chuck it with the best of them. We don’t know much about Miami’s defense because of their Week 1 bye, but they allowed the 3rd most FF points per game to quarterbacks last season. The first regular season game at their new home should make Rivers a borderline QB1.

Tough-ish Week 1 Matchup for Rivers

Philip Rivers is a gunslinger who amassed over 4,000 passing yards and a 1.6 touchdown to interception ratio in 2016. His first test is a steep one in Denver against last season’s #1 pass defense. Look for the Chargers to pound the rock first and use Keenan Allen with both all-star Tight Ends for the quick 5-7 yard gain to move the chains. The fantasy upside is limited for Rivers in Mile High, but then again anything can happen in divisional rivalries. There are better options, but Rivers is always a solid fantasy producer.

Philip Rivers 'fired up'

Philip Rivers talking about staying in San Diego. "I feel like it didn't end the way we wanted it to record-wise or season-wise, but the way it ended at Qualcomm, what could've been the end, I think will hopefully carry over into this new season," Rivers said. "That emotion and that atmosphere, I know you can't really recreate that from a 'farewell' sense. I know a lot of the emotion was built with that. But just the energy and feel in the stadium was crazy.

Fantasy Goo: Philip Rivers will be 34 years old for most of the 2016 season. Some of us might feel like he should be older as he has seemingly played a very long time. Only one time since 2008 has Philip not thrown for over 4,000 yards with him blazing 4,793 this past season. This season could be just as good or even better with Keenan Allen back (if he stays on the field) and someone that I am intrigued with playing his first season in San Diego, Travis Benjamin. Rivers to Benjamin on deep routes may offer BOOM potential for a draft choice that will not break the bank.

Chargers have applied to trademark "Los Angeles Chargers."

The Chargers have an option to join the Rams in L.A. that expires Jan. 15, 2017. The option can be extended one year if voters approve public financing for a new stadium in San Diego.

Philip Rivers is a gunslinger who amassed over 4,000 passing yards and a 1.6 touchdown to interception ratio in 2016. His first test is a steep one in Denver against last season’s #1 pass defense. Look for the Chargers to pound the rock first and use Keenan Allen with both all-star Tight Ends for the quick 5-7 yard gain to move the chains. The fantasy upside is limited for Rivers in Mile High, but then again anything can happen in divisional rivalries. There are better options, but Rivers is always a solid fantasy producer.

Gates comes in with a Draft Kings price of $4,100. He faces Oakland who is notorious for poor play against TEs. This season, looking at Pyro's Positional Points Against Chart, only 9 teams are giving up more FF Points to opposing TEs.

Fantasy Goo: Gates is a great play until he gets that all-time TE TD record. Just 2 away, you know when he gets one, Rivers and crew will push to get him the record. Gates stands on the verge of a multi-TD game in his near future. My official TE in DFS this week.

Philip Rivers 'fired up'

Philip Rivers talking about staying in San Diego. "I feel like it didn't end the way we wanted it to record-wise or season-wise, but the way it ended at Qualcomm, what could've been the end, I think will hopefully carry over into this new season," Rivers said. "That emotion and that atmosphere, I know you can't really recreate that from a 'farewell' sense. I know a lot of the emotion was built with that. But just the energy and feel in the stadium was crazy.

Fantasy Goo: Philip Rivers will be 34 years old for most of the 2016 season. Some of us might feel like he should be older as he has seemingly played a very long time. Only one time since 2008 has Philip not thrown for over 4,000 yards with him blazing 4,793 this past season. This season could be just as good or even better with Keenan Allen back (if he stays on the field) and someone that I am intrigued with playing his first season in San Diego, Travis Benjamin. Rivers to Benjamin on deep routes may offer BOOM potential for a draft choice that will not break the bank.

Philip Rivers is coming off his best fantasy performance of the season and will now face the division rival Raiders in Oakland. The Raiders are literally a middle of the road defense against opposing quarterbacks.

Jameis Winston torched New York for 26 FF points in Week 4, but that was in Tampa and Rivers doesn’t have a weapon like Mike Evans. One thing is certain; the Giants defense will get their first interception of the season as Philip averages one per game.

Last week was just the second time in 13 games Philip Rivers has failed to throw for 300-yards or double-digit scores. Pat Thorman highlighted the Eagles as a “funnel defense” based on their 11th-best run defense grade but fourth-worst pass coverage grade. “Teams are passing on them 70 percent of the time in neutral situations (most), while the Chargers are passing on 64 percent of situation-neutral plays (seventh-most).” After Eli Manning put up over 300-yards with three-touchdowns against the Eagles last week, Rivers feels like a safe bet to reach value (on FanDuel) at home, in what could be a shootout with the eighth-highest implied point total of the week.

Miraculously, Philip Rivers had more passing attempts of his season in Week three and ended with only 3.48 FF points. He’ll look to get off LA’s sinking ship at home against the Eagles which allowed Eli Manning to post an impressive (for him) 22.64 FF points in Week 2.

1 TD Shy of NFL Record

Gates is one TD shy of tying Tony Gonzo's NFL record for TDs by a TE.

Fantasy Goo: The Chargers are potentially playing their last game in San Diego, expect them to try to get Gates the record with the franchises future uncertain.

Gates Remains a Play Until that Record Hits

Gates comes in with a Draft Kings price of $4,100. He faces Oakland who is notorious for poor play against TEs. This season, looking at Pyro's Positional Points Against Chart, only 9 teams are giving up more FF Points to opposing TEs.

Fantasy Goo: Gates is a great play until he gets that all-time TE TD record. Just 2 away, you know when he gets one, Rivers and crew will push to get him the record. Gates stands on the verge of a multi-TD game in his near future. My official TE in DFS this week.

Loving the SD Stack this Week as the Chargers Should Rack Up the Points

According to vegas, no team is expected to score more points in Week #4 than the San Diego Chargers.

Fantasy Goo: As always, I want ownership in the games that are expected to be high scoring. Well, it does not get any higher than the Chargers squaring off against the Saints in one of the late- slate Sunday games. The Chargers have an implied team total of nearly 29, while the Saints themselves should flirt with 25 total points. No QB has more red zone attempts than the 28 from Rivers. The 6'4 Willimas is expected to face the 5'10 Sterling Moore. Going into Week #4, there are only 5 players that have more red zone targets than T-Will. With the expected score, the list of banged up offensive play-makers for SD, and finally the half a foot Williams has on the, I am looking to get exposure to this stack oin my DFS line-ups.

Philip Rivers 'fired up'

Philip Rivers talking about staying in San Diego. "I feel like it didn't end the way we wanted it to record-wise or season-wise, but the way it ended at Qualcomm, what could've been the end, I think will hopefully carry over into this new season," Rivers said. "That emotion and that atmosphere, I know you can't really recreate that from a 'farewell' sense. I know a lot of the emotion was built with that. But just the energy and feel in the stadium was crazy.

Fantasy Goo: Philip Rivers will be 34 years old for most of the 2016 season. Some of us might feel like he should be older as he has seemingly played a very long time. Only one time since 2008 has Philip not thrown for over 4,000 yards with him blazing 4,793 this past season. This season could be just as good or even better with Keenan Allen back (if he stays on the field) and someone that I am intrigued with playing his first season in San Diego, Travis Benjamin. Rivers to Benjamin on deep routes may offer BOOM potential for a draft choice that will not break the bank.

The Rams, who are developing a stadium in Inglewood that’s expected to be ready for the 2019 season, started formal negotiations with the Chargers on Monday to share the venue.

Philip Rivers is coming off his best fantasy performance of the season and will now face the division rival Raiders in Oakland. The Raiders are literally a middle of the road defense against opposing quarterbacks. Last season, Rivers posted 359 yards with four touchdowns in the Oakland Coliseum and has eight total touchdowns in the last three away games against the Raiders. He’s a borderline QB1 this week.

Philip Rivers has yet to surpass 20 FF points this season and I don’t see it happening against the Giants on the road. Jameis Winston torched New York for 26 FF points in Week 4, but that was in Tampa and Rivers doesn’t have a weapon like Mike Evans. One thing is certain; the Giants defense will get their first interception of the season as Philip averages one per game.

Bounce Back Week

Last week was just the second time in 13 games Philip Rivers has failed to throw for 300-yards or double-digit scores. Pat Thorman highlighted the Eagles as a “funnel defense” based on their 11th-best run defense grade but fourth-worst pass coverage grade. “Teams are passing on them 70 percent of the time in neutral situations (most), while the Chargers are passing on 64 percent of situation-neutral plays (seventh-most).” After Eli Manning put up over 300-yards with three-touchdowns against the Eagles last week, Rivers feels like a safe bet to reach value (on FanDuel) at home, in what could be a shootout with the eighth-highest implied point total of the week.

The Rivers appears to be at low tide

Miraculously, Philip Rivers had more passing attempts of his season in Week three and ended with only 3.48 FF points. He’ll look to get off LA’s sinking ship at home against the Eagles which allowed Eli Manning to post an impressive (for him) 22.64 FF points in Week 2. Mike Williams will return in the next few weeks for even more offensive firepower but Philip is a QB2 until he can limit the interceptions.

Philip Rivers is a gunslinger who amassed over 4,000 passing yards and a 1.6 touchdown to interception ratio in 2016. His first test is a steep one in Denver against last season’s #1 pass defense. Look for the Chargers to pound the rock first and use Keenan Allen with both all-star Tight Ends for the quick 5-7 yard gain to move the chains.

Loving the SD Stack this Week as the Chargers Should Rack Up the Points

According to vegas, no team is expected to score more points in Week #4 than the San Diego Chargers.

Fantasy Goo: As always, I want ownership in the games that are expected to be high scoring. Well, it does not get any higher than the Chargers squaring off against the Saints in one of the late- slate Sunday games. The Chargers have an implied team total of nearly 29, while the Saints themselves should flirt with 25 total points. No QB has more red zone attempts than the 28 from Rivers. The 6'4 Willimas is expected to face the 5'10 Sterling Moore. Going into Week #4, there are only 5 players that have more red zone targets than T-Will. With the expected score, the list of banged up offensive play-makers for SD, and finally the half a foot Williams has on the, I am looking to get exposure to this stack oin my DFS line-ups.

Philip Rivers 'fired up'

Philip Rivers talking about staying in San Diego. "I feel like it didn't end the way we wanted it to record-wise or season-wise, but the way it ended at Qualcomm, what could've been the end, I think will hopefully carry over into this new season," Rivers said. "That emotion and that atmosphere, I know you can't really recreate that from a 'farewell' sense. I know a lot of the emotion was built with that. But just the energy and feel in the stadium was crazy.

Fantasy Goo: Philip Rivers will be 34 years old for most of the 2016 season. Some of us might feel like he should be older as he has seemingly played a very long time. Only one time since 2008 has Philip not thrown for over 4,000 yards with him blazing 4,793 this past season. This season could be just as good or even better with Keenan Allen back (if he stays on the field) and someone that I am intrigued with playing his first season in San Diego, Travis Benjamin. Rivers to Benjamin on deep routes may offer BOOM potential for a draft choice that will not break the bank.

Chargers have applied to trademark "Los Angeles Chargers."

Nathan Fenno has reported via LA Times The Chargers applied to trademark “Los Angeles Chargers” and “LA Chargers” two days after NFL owners approved the Rams’ relocation to L.A. last week.

The Chargers have an option to join the Rams in L.A. that expires Jan. 15, 2017. The option can be extended one year if voters approve public financing for a new stadium in San Diego.

The Rams, who are developing a stadium in Inglewood that’s expected to be ready for the 2019 season, started formal negotiations with the Chargers on Monday to share the venue.

When Philip Rivers became ill, Brad Sorensen was promoted off the practice squad. But it seems Rivers is feeling better, and there is no need.

Sorensen, 26, was taken in the seventh round of last year’s NFL draft by the Chargers. He was waived as San Diego trimmed their roster down to 53 players before the start of last season.

Look for Philip Rivers to rebound against Jacksonville

Philip Rivers threw for a season-low 178 yards against the Chiefs last week. Expect Rivers to rebound against the Jaguars. Rivers has thrown for more than 300 yards six times this season. He will face Jacksonville's defense for a third straight season Sunday. In the previous two matchups, he averaged 331 passing yards, with four touchdowns and no interceptions. He was sacked a total of three times in those two contests. -- Eric Williams

Last week Rivers threw for 358-yards and now tops it with 365. The return of Antonio Gates made it so much easier for him and he rewarded Gates with two touchdowns. He did throw a pick-six, which was more on the fault of the lazy route running by Malcom Floyd than an errant pass.

Moving back into QB1?

Philip Rivers is coming off his best fantasy performance of the season and will now face the division rival Raiders in Oakland. The Raiders are literally a middle of the road defense against opposing quarterbacks. Last season, Rivers posted 359 yards with four touchdowns in the Oakland Coliseum and has eight total touchdowns in the last three away games against the Raiders. He’s a borderline QB1 this week.

Damn that Rivers

Philip Rivers has yet to surpass 20 FF points this season and I don’t see it happening against the Giants on the road. Jameis Winston torched New York for 26 FF points in Week 4, but that was in Tampa and Rivers doesn’t have a weapon like Mike Evans. One thing is certain; the Giants defense will get their first interception of the season as Philip averages one per game. With four teams on bye and multiple QB injuries popping up, Rivers is a C+ start this week.

Bounce Back Week

Last week was just the second time in 13 games Philip Rivers has failed to throw for 300-yards or double-digit scores. Pat Thorman highlighted the Eagles as a “funnel defense” based on their 11th-best run defense grade but fourth-worst pass coverage grade. “Teams are passing on them 70 percent of the time in neutral situations (most), while the Chargers are passing on 64 percent of situation-neutral plays (seventh-most).” After Eli Manning put up over 300-yards with three-touchdowns against the Eagles last week, Rivers feels like a safe bet to reach value (on FanDuel) at home, in what could be a shootout with the eighth-highest implied point total of the week.

The Rivers appears to be at low tide

Miraculously, Philip Rivers had more passing attempts of his season in Week three and ended with only 3.48 FF points. He’ll look to get off LA’s sinking ship at home against the Eagles which allowed Eli Manning to post an impressive (for him) 22.64 FF points in Week 2. Mike Williams will return in the next few weeks for even more offensive firepower but Philip is a QB2 until he can limit the interceptions.

Do Rivers run through Miami?

Rivers was kept quiet until the fourth quarter in Denver, but still showed he can chuck it with the best of them. We don’t know much about Miami’s defense because of their Week 1 bye, but they allowed the 3rd most FF points per game to quarterbacks last season. The first regular season game at their new home should make Rivers a borderline QB1.

Tough-ish Week 1 Matchup for Rivers

Philip Rivers is a gunslinger who amassed over 4,000 passing yards and a 1.6 touchdown to interception ratio in 2016. His first test is a steep one in Denver against last season’s #1 pass defense. Look for the Chargers to pound the rock first and use Keenan Allen with both all-star Tight Ends for the quick 5-7 yard gain to move the chains. The fantasy upside is limited for Rivers in Mile High, but then again anything can happen in divisional rivalries. There are better options, but Rivers is always a solid fantasy producer.
