Philip Rivers Fantasy

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers guided the team to one last loss on Sunday against the Chiefs, and it may be the end of an era. Rivers completed 31 passes for 381 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions in what might possibly be his final game as a member of the squad. It was one of Rivers' roughest seasons under center for the Chargers, finishing up with just 23 touchdowns, his fewest in over a decade. His 20 interceptions ties for the second-most he's ever thrown in a season, and while his 4,615 passing yards were the most he's posted in four years, the 5-11 record was a huge disappointment after last year's playoff berth. Rivers has insisted that he's intending on playing another season in the NFL, but even he admits it may not be with LA. The 38-year-old is an unrestricted free agent.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers is facing a precipice on Sunday when he suits up against the Chiefs. It may be his final game as the quarterback of the Chargers. Rivers is coming to the end of a possibly Hall of Fame-worthy career, but with no contract tying him down for next year and LA facing a crisis due to Rivers' struggles this season, the two could part ways. Rivers has already made it clear that he wants to play again next year, but that doesn't necessarily mean in southern California. For this week, he'll have one last tough matchup when he travels to Kansas City. He's also been limited in practice due to the thumb injury he suffered last week, but no one expects him to miss any time due to it. Rivers threw four interceptions in his last meeting with the Chiefs, and most owners should probably look elsewhere this week if they can. Rivers will likely struggle once again since the Chiefs are bringing a serious defense to the table now.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers said that he still wants to play next season. "I'm capable enough physically and mentally, there's no question," Rivers said after Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Oakland Raiders. "Yes, I do want to play football. I do, and that's how I feel deep down as I stand here." The 38-year-old will still take some time after the season to discuss things with his family, but the decision will ultimately come down to the Chargers front office. Rivers is third in passing yards through 16 weeks, but his 18 interceptions also rank second most behind Jameis Winston, and Rivers has 24 turnovers this year, the most turnovers he's had since 2016. Rivers will likely be back in 2020, but the Chargers will certainly be looking for their future signal-caller in the draft. He'll be a QB2 in the season finale against Kansas City.
