His numbers have improved since Week 8’s debacle. However, Rivers is still making poor decisions at times.
Fantasy Impact: Earlier this year we heard analysts talking about Rivers have some sort of hidden injury in his throwing arm. Now his fourth-quarter struggles are the issue. He’s showing he can still put up solid numbers, but turning the ball over when the game counts is not the way to win your coaches trust.
Rivers’ job is not in jeopardy, though. He’ll face the Broncos next week, the team he threw four picks against earlier this year.
