Summary
Philip Rivers is entering his 17th season in the league and his first with the Colts. Rivers has familiarity with Colts head coach, Frank Reich going back to Reich's days with the Chargers as the team's offensive coordinator from 2013 to 2015. The transition from Los Angeles to Indianapolis won't be that much of a challenge simply because Rivers already knows the offense. Rivers has consistently been among the league's highest passing quarterbacks and is currently 6th all time in career passing yards and passing touchdowns. In his 16 years, he has surpassed 4,000 yards passing 11 times, including 11 of the last 12 seasons. He may be in the sunset of his career, but until proven otherwise, he is still a confident, proven quarterback with a solid supporting cast led by veteran T.Y. Hilton. The Colts also have a young corps of receiving talent in Zach Pascal, Parris Campbell, and rookie Michael Pittman Jr. Rivers often utilized his running backs and that shouldn't change with the Colts, whose top receiving back is Nyheim Hines. Rivers is expected to be team's starting quarterback, however, his best years are behind him and he may start to see a decline in his total numbers and effectiveness. As a fantasy quarterback, he has finished inside the top 15 in each of the last seven seasons, but a drop in production could come this season. (May 6)FBG Staff Rankings
