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.

After a solid outing against San Francisco on Monday, Philip Rivers is confirmed as the starter for Week 17 against Jacksonville.
With their playoff hopes hanging by a thread, the Colts once again call on Philip Rivers to be the starter against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Rivers finished 23 of 35 for 277 yards with two touchdowns and an interception against the 49ers on Monday. Rivers has provided stability for the Colts team that lost Daniel Jones to an Achilles injury in Week 14. He is considered a low-end streaming option for teams in dire need of a superflex option in their championship match.

After leading an inspiring career comeback, Daniel Jones will miss the rest of the season due to a torn Achilles.
Daniel Jones has seen his season abruptly end due to a torn Achilles. The injury occurred in a devastating loss to the division rival Jaguars.
With his comeback put on pause, Jones will likely end up signing a 1-year prove it deal to remain with the Colts. The timeline of his rehabilitation remains to be seen. In a surprise move, the Colts had Chargers legend Philip Rivers on speed dial. Rivers has signed to the practice squad and has a real shot to play week 15 against the Seahawks. This would be an immediate revival for Tyler Warren, Michael Pittman Jr., Jonathan Taylor, and company.

With Daniels Jones sidelined from a torn Achilles, Philip Rivers will have a workout with the Colts.
The Colts suffered 2 dramatic losses on Sunday. One to the division rival Jaguars to the tune of 36-19 and also in the form of starting quarterback Daniel Jones tearing his Achilles to end his season.
With the Colts fighting to salvage what was a promising start to their season, they will bring in Philip Rivers for a visit and workout tomorrow. The NC State and Chargers legend had a one year stint with the Colts in 2020 where they made the playoffs. Should Rivers play Sunday, that would be a dramatic boost all things considered. If Rivers can still sling it, fantasy gamers can hope Rivers will buoy the Colts weapons ala Jameis Winston and Joe Flacco.
UPDATE: Philip Rivers has signed with the Colts and could play as soon as this Sunday against the Seahawks.
