Amid speculation that he's playing hurt, Philip Rivers insisted Wednesday that he's "as healthy as I've been through six weeks."
Rivers just hasn't been himself, and we wouldn't be surprised if after the season it's revealed he suffered an injury in training camp or the preseason. His velocity is down, possibly due to a problem with one of his legs. Rivers has seven touchdown passes and nine interceptions through six games. He should comfortably be considered a QB2 until he picks it up. If he ever does.
Rivers' numbers have not been all that terrible, outside of week 3 against KC and last week. He's put 20 pts. fairly consistently every week in one of my leagues. People expect him to put up 4 TD's and 400 yards every week; QB's do have subpar fantasy games from time to time. Yes, the 7 TD's to 9 Int.'s this season is alarming, but they've also run the ball better this season.
As long as I don't have to watch that retard Rivers lose a game the way he lost week 7 I will be happy. Worst QB performance I've seen in awhile. His dumb ass threw the ball away on 4th and short for the game.

Am I the only one who envisions him making a girly whimper every time he throws the ball?

He might have a bounce back week
heidenreichThu 10/27/11 11:52 AM
Doubt it. He has been playing TERRIBLE! I'm considering playing Kevin Kolb instead of Rivers this week.
davante94Thu 10/27/11 11:55 AM
if you do that , you will lose
heidenreichThu 10/27/11 11:59 AM
But Rivers just hasn't put up the numbers
davante94Thu 10/27/11 12:01 PM
he havent been putting up elite numbers but his numbers are still good except these last two weeks and plus kolb dont come close to putting up numbers
heidenreichThu 10/27/11 12:03 PM
Ik. I was just considering it. But I'll probably stick with Rivers. But i need a big win this week.
TheHookerThu 10/27/11 12:09 PM
Yikes... But TBH I am considering it too - lol (or maybe Hasslebeck against the Colts?)
davante94Thu 10/27/11 12:11 PM
i have rivers , vick , cj and hillis on my team and im still 4-2 , sso imagine when these players play like how they suppose to play
TheHookerThu 10/27/11 12:13 PM
Also have Rivers and CJ - they were my #1 and 2 picks (a year and a half ago in a dynasty!!!!) Not the year I was hoping for.........
heidenreichThu 10/27/11 12:14 PM
I was actually 6-0 and I just lost. But i had McCoy and Welker on a bye, so i Think i'll have a huge week this week
