The lore of Philip Rivers ended in Week 17 for the Colts, as they lost 6 straight games entering Week 18’s contest.
Rookie QB Riley Leonard will get an extended look in Week 18. The University of Notre Dame product was a Day 3 selection of the Colts, but was limited throughout the season behind Daniel Jones. Leonard sat behind Rivers for the last three games, but now with the Colts officially eliminated, the team wants more live reps for the rookie.
Leonard rushed 173 times for over 900 yards and 17 TDs during his final season in college. His limits as a passer caused him to be a late round prospect in 2025. Don’t expect much fantasy production in Week 18 and beyond.
