Fantasy Analysis

This was a game that was surprisingly dominated by the defenses and Rivers had a subpar game in terms of Fantasy play. Rivers is capable of more than this and will hopefully have a better performance in the next round of the playoffs. Continue thinking of him as a No. 1 option in playoff Fantasy leagues.
