Rivers completed 22-of-34 passes for 313 yards with three touchdowns in Sunday's 31-28 win at Oakland. He was sacked just once and did not have any turnovers.
Rivers once again did a great job spreading things around, completing at least two passes to six different players. He's been playing at an incredibly high level this season, especially since a mediocre performance in Week 1, completing over 70 percent of his passes, while tossing 14 touchdowns in the last five games. He'll look to keep things rolling next week at home against Kansas City.
And most fantasy experts said no to drafting Rivers as a primary QB. He would be a good bye week replacement. I drafted him as my primary QB. GO CHARGERS
I drafted him as insurance for Nick Foles. Started Foles first 3 weeks when he put up like 30 points every week. Then came the 9ersgame when I benched foles and went with rivers. haven't changed since :D
He was always a top QB, but losing o-linemen and wideouts hurt his number so he wasn't a top fantasy QB. But now that he is in a quick pass offense the o-line is not as important and he has better options at wide receiver

I have Rivers, Luck, and Newton.
Starting Luck, but unsure if I should start Newton against GB, of River against KC.
The numbers say Newton in my flex position.
What you think?

Is it too much for more people to realize he's a top-5 QB now (behind Manning, Brees, Rodgers, and Luck,,,Brady is sadly fading out of relevance)?
