  • Tops 300 yards

    Rivers completed 31 of his 46 pass attempts for 318 yards and two touchdowns in Week 3 against the Texans. He also added two rushes for nine yards.

    Analysis: Rivers was routinely pressured and sacked five times, making it difficult for him to operate efficiently. That said, his gaudy yardage total was based mostly on volume as he averaged only 6.9 yards per attempt. Regardless of how it's come, Rivers has been especially productive through three games this season, racking up 944 passing yards and five touchdowns. He'll look to keep things going in a positive Week 4 matchup against the Dolphins.

  • Goes for 293 yards

    Rivers completed 21 of 36 passes for 293 yards and one interception during Sunday's 13-10 defeat in Detroit. He also took his sole carry for 12 yards.

    Analysis: Without tight end Hunter Henry (knee) at his disposal, Rivers focused most of his attention on Keenan Allen (15 targets), Austin Ekeler (six) and Mike Williams (five), the latter of whom logged a limited snap count due to a knee injury of his own. Beyond that trio, no other Charger managed more than two looks. That said, with the game on the line at the Lions' 28-yard line and less than two minutes remaining, Rivers looked Allen's way for the last time and was picked off by Darius Slay in the…read more

  • Not worried about contract

    Rivers expects to stay with the Chargers beyond 2019, NFL.com's Jelani Scott reports. "I really just feel at peace about that," Rivers said. "[General manager Tom Telesco] and I had really good conversations throughout the last couple months. I think it's sincere, the both of us, really desire I'm still a Charger in 2020."

    Analysis: The two sides weren't able to work out an extension before the first game of Rivers' contract season, but it doesn't like there's much concern about eventually reaching an agreement, even if it waits until the offseason. As for the immediate future, Rivers will face a challenge Sunday in Detroit, with the Chargers missing TE Hunter Henry (knee) and possibly WR Mike Williams (knee).

  • Excellent outing

    Rivers completed 25 of 34 passes for 333 yards and three touchdowns to go along with one interception in the 30-24 overtime win over the Colts on Sunday.

    Analysis: Rivers' lone interception nearly proved costly, as the Chargers were on the doorsteps of securing a two-score advantage with just minutes remaining, only for free safety Malik Hooker to make a tremendously athletic play and change the momentum. While the Colts would score a touchdown and two-point conversion on the ensuing drive, Rivers and the Chargers marched down in the opening overtime drive, with the veteran signal caller finding his favorite target, Keenan Allen, on multiple occasions to…read more

  • Does not play in preseason finale

    Rivers did not play in the team's 27-24 preseason win over the 49ers on Thursday.

    Analysis: Neither the 49ers or Chargers played any of their projected starters so this is far from shocking. The 37-year-old should be good to go for his 16th professional season and remains one of the more reliable quarterbacks in the NFL, having never missed a start since taking over the starting role in 2006.

  • Won't play in preseason contest

    Rivers won't play in the team's third preseason game Saturday against the Seahawks, Eric D. Williams of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Head coach Anthony Lynn ultimately left the decision up to the veteran quarterback who subsequently declined the opportunity for reps in the exhibition contest. This shouldn't come as much of a surprise given Rivers has yet to play in the preseason in 2019. Expect Easton Stick and Cardale Jones to see the majority of the playing time, with primary backup Tyrod Taylor clearly separating himself from the pack for the No. 2 role thus far in training camp.

  • Slated to sit out Sunday's game

    Rivers won't play in Sunday's preseason game against the Saints, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Rivers, who is no longer expected to sign a contract extension as he plays out the final year of his current deal, will thus sit out the Chargers' second exhibition tilt as a precuation. Assuming he sees some action in the team's third preseason game next week against the Seahawks, he'd presumably be working minus top playmakers Melvin Gordon (contract holdout) and Keenan Allen (ankle).

  • Not planning to sign extension

    Rivers no longer is expected to sign a contract extension, NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports.

    Analysis: Reports throughout the offseason suggested Rivers would sign a new contract before Week 1, with the 37-year-old quarterback stating his intention to play at least one more season after 2019. This doesn't mean he's changed his mind, but it does suggest he'll wait until the offseason to discuss terms. Rivers is entering the final season of a four-year deal, suddenly looking at some question marks around him with Melvin Gordon (contract holdout), Keenan Allen (ankle) and starting left tackle…read more

  • Won't suit up Thursday

    Rivers won't play in Thursday's preseason game at Arizona, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Analysis: This was more or less expected of the 15-year veteran, who may make just one appearance during exhibition season. Team management is facing off with holdout Melvin Gordon, so Rivers could be without his No. 1 back once the games count if the running back stays away into the regular season. In such a scenario, Austin Ekeler and Justin Jackson likely would share RB reps, but at the very least Rivers has a pair of standout wide receivers (Keenan Allen and Mike Williams) in addition to…read more

  • Active in offseason practices

    Rivers has been an active participant in the Chargers' offseason practices, Ricky Henne of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Rivers' involvement in offseason workouts is relevant since he bowed out of this past winter's Pro Bowl, citing an injury. Any injury real or embellished is now a thing of the past, allowing Rivers to prepare for the upcoming campaign without any restrictions. Entering the last season of his contract, the 37-year-old could receive an extension at some point later this summer.

  • Not planning to retire anytime soon

    Rivers (ankle) said he intends to play at least two more seasons, XTRA 1360 San Diego reports.

    Analysis: Entering the final season of a four-year contract, Rivers is expected to sign an extension at some point this summer. He skipped the Pro Bowl with an ankle injury, but it doesn't seem to be impacting his offseason routine or posing any threat to his remarkable streak of 208 consecutive starts. The 37-year-old quarterback hopes growth from Mike Williams and Hunter Henry can make up for the offseason departure of Tyrell Williams to Oakland. While few signal-callers are in a better position to…read more

  • Vacationing with family

    Rivers (ankle) is missing the start of the Chargers' voluntary offseason program to take an Easter vacation with his family, Eric D. Williams of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The reasoning behind his absence should quiet any rumors about Rivers playing hardball to create leverage for an extension. He's entering the final season of a four-year, $83.5 million contract, and GM Tom Telesco has already made it clear the Chargers want to discuss a new deal. Rivers skipped the Pro Bowl with an ankle injury, but there hasn't been any suggestion it's a serious issue that will impact his preparation for the upcoming season. The 37-year-old quarterback shouldn't have any…read more

  • Could get extension soon

    General manager Tom Telesco said the Chargers want to discuss a contract extension with Rivers (ankle), Eric D. Williams of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The 37-year-old quarterback has already stated his intention to play beyond 2019, the final season of his four-year, $83.5 million extension. He finished top 10 in the NFL for nearly every major passing category in 2018, leading the Chargers back to the playoffs for the first time since 2013. With the core of the team under contract for at least one more season, Rivers likely envisions a deeper playoff run in 2019. He'll miss the Pro Bowl with an ankle injury, though it's probably just an…read more

  • Missing Pro Bowl with injury

    Rivers won't play in the Pro Bowl "due to injury," Sam Fortier of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The news accompanied a press release from the Colts' official site regarding Andrew Luck earning a bid to the Pro Bowl as an alternate. Rivers ceded his spot on the AFC's squad, but the nature of the injury is unknown. As Fortier pointed out, Rivers appeared to be restricted at times during Sunday's divisional-round beatdown at New England, but the quarterback met with the media Monday and "looked OK." No matter what Rivers is dealing with, he hasn't missed a start since becoming the Chargers'…read more

  • Inaccurate in playoff loss

    Rivers completed 25 of 51 passes for 331 yards, three touchdowns and an interception, along with a two-point conversion. in Sunday's 41-28 divisional-round loss to New England.

    Analysis: Gillette Stadium has been a house of horrors for Rivers throughout his career, and this game was no exception. His day got off to a promising start with a 43-yard touchdown to Keenan Allen on Los Angeles' first drive, but Rivers didn't produce another touchdown until there was 7:38 remaining in the fourth quarter. He padded his stats from that point on with a one-yard touchdown pass to Virgil Green, a two-point conversion to Allen and an eight-yard score to Antonio Gates, but the veteran…read more

  • Free of mistakes in wild-card win

    Rivers completed 22 of 32 passes for 160 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in the Chargers' 23-17 wild-card win over the Ravens on Sunday. He also rushed three times for 15 yards and completed a two-point conversion pass to Mike Williams.

    Analysis: Although the final line may have been underwhelming from a fantasy perspective, it was essentially ideal given the real-life football circumstances surrounding the contest. Rivers put together a prototypical veteran game-manager effort in a considerably hostile postseason road environment, remaining free of turnovers while only taking one sack. The 37-year-old even showed off some surprising mobility at a key moment, rumbling for nine yards on a third-and-8 early in the fourth quarter. Given…read more

  • Throws for season low in win

    Rivers completed 14 of 24 passing attempts for 176 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 23-9 win over the Broncos.

    Analysis: Rivers found Mike Williams over the middle for a three-yard touchdown in the third quarter to give the Chargers a 14-3 advantage, which would be more than enough for the eventual victory. The 176 yards eclipsed the 37-year-old's season low from the previous week against the Ravens, to whom the Chargers lost at home. Now they will attempt to avenge that loss in Baltimore in the first round of the playoffs.

  • Ugly outing leads to loss

    Rivers completed 23 of 37 passes for 181 yards and two interceptions in the 22-10 loss to the Ravens on Saturday.

    Analysis: Much to the dismay of fantasy owners, Rivers posted by far his worst game of the 2018 season. The veteran quarterback book-ended the contest with interceptions, marking back-to-back games in which Rivers threw two picks. But unlike last week, the 37-year-old didn't mitigate the disaster with any last-second heroics or late touchdowns. In fact, prior to Saturday, Rivers had just one game all year in which he tossed fewer than two touchdowns, making Week 16's final box score a particularly…read more

  • Leads sensational comeback win

    Rivers completed 26 of 38 passes for 313 with two touchdowns and two interceptions in the Chargers' 29-28 win over the Chiefs on Thursday. He also threw a game-winning two-point conversion pass to Mike Williams with four seconds remaining.

    Analysis: The veteran QB helped the Chargers to what will likely be the most memorable win of their season by overcoming multiple obstacles and leading Los Angeles to 15 fourth-quarter points to seal the victory. Rivers lost Keenan Allen to a hip injury in the first half, but he was able to make do by connecting with the quartet of Mike Williams, Tyrell Williams, Travis Benjamin and Antonio Gates for a total of 19 completions and a pair of scores. Rivers saved his best for last, leading an 11-play,…read more

  • Mundane performance in win

    Rivers completed 19 of 29 passes for 220 yards and a touchdown in the 26-21 victory over the Bengals on Sunday.

    Analysis: The Chargers were able to move the ball effectively between the 20s, but the absence of Melvin Gordon (knee) seemed to stymie what has otherwise been an efficient red-zone offense this season, drastically limiting Rivers' touchdown potential. As a result, the veteran quarterback failed to throw for at least two touchdowns for the first time this campaign, and he posted his fifth-lowest completion percentage in 2018 to boot. His path won't exactly get easier Thursday night against the Chiefs,…read more

  • Commandeers improbable comeback

    Rivers completed 26 of 36 pass attempts for 299 yards and a pair of touchdowns in Sunday's 33-30 win over the Steelers.

    Analysis: The Chargers' offense was stymied on the road for the better part of three quarters, but Rivers caught fire over the final 14 minutes of the contest and rallied the team to victory. The 37-year-old played within himself, showing his elite accuracy on a bevy of short and medium throws during the late flurry. Rivers has now matched last season's 28-touchdown mark in four less games as he continues to prove that he can play at an elite level even with diminished arm strength. The veteran's fantasy…read more

  • Puts together historic performance

    Rivers completed 28 of 29 passes for 259 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 45-10 win over the Cardinals. He also fumbled once.

    Analysis: You couldn't tell by the final score, but the Chargers actually trailed 10-0 at the end of the first quarter as Rivers and company struggled to move the ball. That changed dramatically in the second quarter thanks in large part to the veteran quarterback's heroics, as Rivers would go on to complete his first 25 passes in the contest, an NFL single-game record. Rivers' 96.6 percent completion rate also set a single-game record for quarterbacks who attempted at least 20 passes, capping off a…read more

    Rivers completed 28 of 43 pass attempts for 401 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions during Sunday's 23-22 win over the Broncos.

    Analysis: Rivers completed 65 percent of his pass attempts and spread the ball around to seven different receivers as he topped 400 passing yards for the second time this season. He completed touchdown passes to Keenan Allen and Antonio Gates on either side of halftime, but he threw multiple interceptions for the first time this season, including a costly one that sparked Denver's comeback in the third quarter. The veteran now has multiple touchdown passes in every game this season and is capable of…read more

    Rivers completed 18 of 26 passing attempts for 223 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 20-6 win over the Raiders. He also had a 1-yard carry.

    Analysis: Rivers can thank Melvin Gordon for saving the day and breaking a 66-yard run after a catch in the flat in the third quarter, but the 36-year-old's fantasy owners will take it, however it comes. He hasn't failed to throw for fewer than 200 passing yards and two touchdowns in any game this season and continues to be one of the more reliable quarterbacks in fantasy. Rivers will try to keep it going at home Week 11 against Denver.

  • Throws another two touchdowns in win

    Rivers completed 13 of 26 pass attempts for 228 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 25-17 win over the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Rivers had far from a perfect game. The veteran finished with a season-low completion percentage (50), but fantasy owners likely won't be too upset given Rivers tossed another two touchdowns, the ninth straight time he's pulled off the feat dating back to last season. The signal caller will likely have an easier time next week against a struggling Raiders defense that allowed 49ers third-string quarterback Nick Mullens to toss 250-plus yards and three touchdowns in Week 9.
