ESPN Fantasy 32 Questions: San Diego Chargers

August 22, 2007

ESPN did a fantasy series entitled ’32 questions’ in which they went team by team to identify the big question for each team as it related to the 2007 Fantasy Football season.  The question for the Chargers?

Is Philip Rivers ready to make the leap to elite fantasy quarterback, and will he take a wide receiver with him?

You’ll find few who’ll argue the Chargers don’t have just about the most dominant offense around. Its 492 points was 65 better than the second-best teams (the Colts and Bears); its yards-per-game average was fourth in the NFL; and its time of possession average was top-5. As the team’s signal-caller, Philip Rivers was a respectable eighth in fantasy points among quarterbacks, having passed for 3,388 yards (ninth in the NFL), 22 touchdowns (eighth) and assembling a 92.0 rating (eighth). Rivers is a no-doubter No. 1 quarterback in all fantasy leagues. But is he “elite”?
