Philip Rivers

Colts coach Shane Steichen did not name a starter for Week 18 against the Texans.

Fantasy Impact

Steichen said Monday that the team was still “having discussions” on who will start the finale against Houston. They are expected to discuss on Tuesday with the announcement being made on Wednesday.

Philip Rivers completed 17-of-30 passes for 147 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the Colts 23-17 loss against the Jaguars.

Fantasy Impact

Rivers played in what could be again the final game of his career following his comeback for a few games. He was fun to watch calling audibles and making adjustments at the line of scrimmage, but ultimately his age caught up to him at the end of the day. Riley Leonard is likely to start in Week 18 for the Colts to end the season.

The Colts will start Philip Rivers again in Week 17 against the Jaguars.

Fantasy Impact

This comes as no surprise following Rivers impressive performance on Monday despite the loss against the 49ers. He draws a tougher matchup against Jacksonville. He'll be a low-end QB2.

Philip Rivers completed 23 of 35 passes for 277 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in Monday's 48-27 loss to the 49ers.

Fantasy Impact

Rivers clearly got more comfortable running the Colts' offense in his second time around. He did throw an interception deep in 49ers territory late in the game, but other than that blemish, the formerly retired QB was quite solid Monday night. Rivers and the Colts will get a crack at division-rival Jacksonville's 24th-ranked pass defense in Week 17.

Colts coach Shane Steichen told reporters that Philip Rivers will start again next Monday night against the 49ers.

Fantasy Impact

Rivers made his much anticipated return on Sunday against the Seahawks in a heartbreaking loss for the Colts. He'll play in his first home game in Indianapolis this season as they face the 49ers.
