Sunday Quarterback: Philip Rivers, Los Angeles Chargers

Price: $7,900

Philip Rivers is only the third-most expensive quarterback on Sunday's slate, but our models project him for the highest fantasy score among Sunday's signal callers as well as the third-highest output of any quarterback this weekend. Getting that kind of production at the weekend's sixth-highest price-tag makes Rivers the best value quarterback for the full-weekend slate, as well, if that four-game slate is more your cup of tea.

Rivers' 18.6 FanDuel points per game are the second-most among quarterbacks on Sunday's slate, and even with a tough matchup against the Baltimore Ravens, both his floor and ceiling should be pretty solid.

Rivers has posted fewer than 15 FanDuel points in only three games this season, and two of his nine games with at least 20 FanDuel points came against defenses that our metrics have ranked top-10 against the pass. His two best games of the year (24.0 and 30.0 FanDuel points) came against defenses we have ranked 16th or better against the pass.

The matchup is tough, but it doesn't completely crush his fantasy potential. Rivers is simply priced far too low here.
