Philip Rivers 2018 Outlook
As ESPN.com notes, Rivers handled his top priority in 2017, curbing turnovers. After throwing a league-high 21 interceptions in 2016, Rivers finished with just 10 interceptions last season. Still, his offense sputtered at times, struggling to score points especially during the team's 0-4 start. Rivers said the team's struggles were due to a lack of execution, and one of his priorities during this offseason has been focusing on doing the little things better to improve in 2018. And that means scoring more points. "Early on, the first five or six weeks of (last) season, there were too many missed plays," Rivers said. "We talked about not scoring enough points those first few games -- we were just not scoring enough points." Despite the lack of points, Rivers eclipsed the 50,000-yard passing mark and, for the 10th time, had at least 25 touchdown passes. But protecting the football was the most interesting aspect. Rivers loves to free-style with a riverboat gambler's demeanor, often trying to force passes into windows with little room for error. Of those 10 picks, six of them came in two games, both losses to the Chiefs. One major change this season? Rivers will be without TEs Antonio Gates and Hunter Henry, players he's leaned on heavily in the past.
Philip Rivers 2017 Outlook
Rivers remains a top-flight player, but one can't ignore his career-high 21 interceptions to go with his 33 touchdown passes last season. But on the bright side, he finished the season healthy despite playing behind a shoddy front line. Rivers was guilty of forcing attempts to a receiving corps that seemingly changed on a weekly basis. Still, new HC Anthony Lynn must get Rivers back on track. Rivers' strengths are his accuracy and his decision-making. Both were off-kilter in 2016 and need to be addressed. The return of Keenan Allen to join up-and-coming threats like Tyrell Williams, Dontrelle Inman and Hunter Henry (along with returning weapons Antonio Gates and Travis Benjamin) will help. So will the addition of wideout Mike Williams, selected seventh overall in April's draft. Playing in a new city and stadium under a new head coach and coordinator could create some inconsistency, but count on Rivers to be a solid fantasy QB2 with the ability to put up QB1 numbers in any given week.
Philip Rivers 2016 Outlook
Rivers led the league in passing attempts (661) and completions (437), and finished second in passing yards. He threw for more than 4,000 yards for the seventh time in his 12-year pro career. The Chargers finished with a 42-percent conversion rate on third downs, good enough for No. 8 in the NFL. Rivers completed 66.1 percent of his passes (No. 7 in the NFL) and finished with 29 passing TDs (tied for No. 12). But for a second straight season, the Chargers struggled to consistently run the football, which forced Rivers to make every critical play on offense with his arm. Rivers was sacked 40 times, eighth-worst in the NFL. The Chargers threw the football 63 percent of the time in 2015, and Rivers threw a league-leading 639 times from shotgun or pistol formation -- that's 100 times more than the No. 2 quarterback on the list. Yes, the team has some solid receiving weapons, and Rivers is a proven commodity; but unless he gets better protection and the rushing attack can take some of the pressure off, Rivers is better suited to a QB2 role for fantasy owners.
