San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers continued to prove his subpar 2012 season was an aberration Sunday. The quarterback led his team to a 22-10 victory over the Buffalo Bills to improve to 2-1.

Rivers threw for 256 yards on 18-of-25 passing in the game, adding two touchdown passes to Eddie Royal. Rivers also ran the ball twice for 11 yards. It was good for a 131.4 passer rating and 19 fantasy points.
Fantasy impact: Rivers has had a topsy-turvy career in recent years, but now has six touchdowns against one interception and 778 passing yards through three games. At this point, he has to be a must-start at quarterback, even if he hasn't yet found the groove with his No. 1 target from a year ago, wide receiver Keenan Allen.
The Chargers host the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 4, meaning Rivers should continue to have big games and strong production for any who drafted him.
