Jaguars at Chargers: 5 best fantasy options

3. Philip Rivers

Despite Philip Rivers being without his best wide receiver for the rest of the 2016 season, he is still going to put up good numbers each week. Rivers is the kind of quarterback you can plug into your starting lineup each week, and against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, he should have plenty of opportunities to fill the stat sheet. The Jags are traveling across the country to play the Bolts in Week 2, and Rivers will be waiting.

Throughout his career, Rivers has consistently shredded the Jaguars. He has faced Jacksonville six times and has averaged 317 yards in the air. In his last four starts against the Jags, Rivers has thrown 11 touchdowns against zero interceptions, and he should be able to continue that dominance through the air on Sunday.

The Chargers will likely lose this game, but it will not be because of Philip Rivers. The lack of Keenan Allen is going to hurt the offense as a whole, but Williams and Travis Benjamin should be able to step up in his absence. Rivers has the ability to use the whole field, so expect running back Danny Woodhead to also play a huge role in the passing game on Sunday.

Fantasy owners should expect another 300-yard game from Rivers in Week 2. He will likely connect for a couple of touchdowns, and will be forced to throw late in the game due to the Chargers being down. He is a QB1 play in any, and all formats on Sunday.
