Philip Rivers’ Knee Ready For 2008

Philip Rivers Getting Smarter & Healthier…

Word coming out of Chargers practices is that Philip Rivers is working with offensive coordinator Clarence Shelmon and QBs coach John Ramsdell on the mental aspect of his game. Becoming a smarter signal caller is top priority for Rivers this off-season, along with recovering from an ACL injury - which is going quite well by the way.

The more Rivers understands about the game, the better he’ll get. He has a great supporting cast around him, and is someone whose value could climb as we get closer to the season.

Philip Rivers Injury Update…

Word is that Chargers QB Philip Rivers is ahead of schedule in his rehabilitation from an ACL injury that he suffered during the playoffs last season. Rivers played surprisingly well on the knee in the AFC Championship game, and we’re not too worried about him heading into 2008. He should be ready to start Week 1, and may even see some limited work in the preseason. Overall, he’s a solid QB2 in all formats.

Rivers will be at best a solid fantasy QB2 in 2008.

The youngster says he feels pretty good and still plans on being ready for training camp, even though he’s nowhere near full speed right now. Fantasy owners should not underestimate this injury when it translates to prognosticating his overall effectiveness in 2008.

To Worry? Or Not To Worry?

In seasonal leagues, when a player goes down for a long period of time during the middle of the year, or finishes the season on injured reserve, owners must replace that player and almost forget he ever existed.  Dynasty and deep keeper owners are faced with a different dilemma, however.  Long term owners need to constantly pay attention to how their injured players and others bounce back during the NFL offseason.
