Rivers comes into the season priced right around $7K.
The folks at FFToday.com do have some reservations about Rivers, but also suggest he could prove to be a solid DFS play in 2015 if all the pieces fall into place.
Although he is coming off of back-to-back seasons where he exceeded the 30-touchdown mark, Rivers also threw an uncharacteristic 18 interceptions this past season – the second-highest total of his career. Much of this was due to inconsistencies in the offense, injuries across the board and a general lack of blocking from his offensive line. The team did make moves to address the offensive line by bringing in free agents Orlando Franklin and Joe Barksdale. While both players should be positives in the running game, Barksdale was atrocious as a pass protector for the Rams in 2014. If Barksdale doesn't make major improvements to his game, Rivers could be seeing plenty of pressure from the right side of the offensive line which could again translate into an abnormally high number of turnovers. Still, Rivers remains the most important piece of the puzzle in San Diego. The team should have a more consistent, if not more productive running game this season.
Rivers hasn’t missed a start since 2006.
September is not a month to play Rivers however.
Look instead for tight end Ladarius Green to get some ample playing time with Antonio Gates out for four games. He is priced right at $3.5K.
