(+) One of the leagues greatest competitors, never count this badass out
(+) The Philip Rivers-Antonio Gates combo might be back in the saddle after a couple years of plantar fasciitis trouble for Gates
(+) Rivers is very Drew Brees/Kurt Warner-like in that he puts the ball in the best place for receivers to make things happen
(+)Robert Meachem should slide in nicely as Rivers WR1. In fact, Eddie Royal could end up having a renaissance with Rivers as well
(+) San Diego plays most of their games in warm weather, a bonus for the Chargers passing game that most others don’t have
(+) Rivers finished eighth for QBs in total fantasy points last season and has two top-5 finishes since 2008
(+) His 4,624 passing yards were the second-most of his career last season while his 366 completions were the most
(–) Rivers had 25 turnovers (20 INTs) in 2011
(–) Two Pro Bowl linemen are gone, McNeill & Dielman
(–) The Chargers missed the playoffs for their second straight season
(–) Vincent Jackson is gone and Gates’ injuries/age might be starting to catch up to him
(–) If Ryan Mathews gets injured, this team is screwed
This unorthodox, pill-tossing machine has quickly risen to become one of the top-drawer fantasy quarterbacks in the NFL. It was thought to be nearly impossible for him to repeat his 2008 numbers, but the 6’5”, 230 lb. Rivers proved the fantasy world wrong and came within 5 points of matching his career year. He’s won an unheard-of 18 straight December games for the Chargers (current) and had an 11-game winning streak last year en route to a 13-3 mark and first-round playoff bye. He’s taken full advantage of the decline of LaDainian Tomlinson the last couple of years and turned the Chargers into a pass-first team, thus ascending his fantasy stats into clear starter status.
~ Set career bests in completions (317), attempts (486), passing yards (4,254), yards/attempt (8.8), and yards/game (265.9)
Rivers is starting to become something special, and should continue along that path in 2010. With Tomlinson gone, the Chargers turned to the 2010 NFL Draft to fill their starting running back hole in Ryan Mathews - a stud out of Fresno State - but it will take at least a couple years for him to develop. Thus, they will likely stick to their pass-first mentality for the time being. Basically, Rivers will be given the reins once again. He has the biggest receiving corps in the game, led by their budding superstar Vincent Jackson, so expect approximately the same numbers from Philip “Wild” Rivers again this upcoming year.
~ No legit running back (yet) means a lot of passing for Rivers
~ Has an excellent receiving corps that will all still be there
~ Has an offensive line good with pass protection
~ Antonio Gates is still Antonio Gates
~ He's in San Diego for cryin' out loud, so that nice warm sunshine-filled weather gives him an edge over other QBs late in the season

Rivers signed a seven-year, $98.25 million contract in August of 2009 that contained $38.15 million guaranteed, including a $19.55 million signing bonus and Rivers' 2009-2010 base salaries. $6 million of Rivers' 2011 salary is guaranteed for injury, but not for skill or performance. Here’s how this monster deal breaks down:
2010 - $6.6 million (+ $6 million option bonus)
2011 - $8.4 million
2012 - $10.2 million
2013 - $12 million
2014 - $13.8 million
2015 - $15.75 million

Billy Volek continues to be the handcuff to Rivers, and oh yes Billy Boy, we still remember those back-to-back 400-yard games you put up back in 2004. A combined 69-103 for 918 yards, 8 TDs, 1 INT, and a rushing TD to boot?!?! Crazy stats! Somehow you lost both those games to the Chiefs and Raiders, but in the process, you also made a legend out of WR Drew Bennett by setting him up with a combined 25 catches for 393 yards and 5 TDs in that span of 7 days. Because of this and the Chargers strong passing game, you're still worth a flier in the late rounds
Rivers still hasn't missed a game since being named the starter back in 2006
