Philip Rivers's Fantasy Scouting Report
2018 FANTASY RECAP AND 2019 FANTASY PROJECTION Philip Rivers had a good fantasy season and was a 'second tier' fantasy star. He was the #11 ranked fantasy player this season. Even though he missed a few games, he played enough to make his overall fantasy rank better than what it is based on average fantasy points where he is the #16 QB. His production dropped throughout the season. In his first 5 games he averaged 26.8 FPs and that declined to 16.5 in his final 6 games. A fast start and slow end is somewhat expected given his age. His fantasy production is stable and he is not as volatile as most players based on a below average standard deviation. Our projected ceiling for Rivers when he 'goes off' is 33 fantasy points (his average is 21.2FPs) with a floor of 3 points. Philip Rivers (2019 Season Projection: 4413 Yards, 29 TDs, 13 INTs, 35 Rushyd) is projected to take a slight step downward in the upcoming fantasy season. His rank based on total projected fantasy points has him as the #15 player at his position. SportsLine has the best NFL picks and Daily Fantasy Lineups. In the off-season check out our coverage of all major leagues (MLB, NBA, NHL, Horses, NASCAR, and Golf). CURRENT CAREER TREND AND STATISTICS His fantasy point average has held steady over the past 3 seasons, which is a good sign given his advancing age. PAST FANTASY PERFORMANCE (2017 TO 2018) He was the #10 ranked fantasy QB based on total fantasy points. He averaged 21.2 FP per game (#14 ranked based on average). He is holding steady season-to-season in terms of per game fantasy ranking. He is stronger in certain categories which are bolded below. DAILY FANTASY SEASON RECAP He averaged 18.5 FD points and 19.5 DK points per game. We used his second highest game as his ceiling and second lowest as his floor. On DraftKings his floor was 5.3 and on FanDuel it was 5.3 fantasy points. He had a relatively high ceiling. On DraftKings it was 24.6 and on FanDuel it was 22.7 FPs. He has had an equal number of good (20% above average) and bad games (20% below) on FanDuel, and an equal number of good and bad games on DraftKings. We are only including games where they were in the daily fantasy slate and played.
