Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As SI.com's Peter King notes, that Rivers has 35 interceptions in the last two years is an indication to many who watch the Chargers that he can get too confident in his ability to fit balls downfield into small holes. McCoy will harp on trusting the system that has a myriad of answers, always including one short one -- thus his belief the completion percentage can improve. We'll go ahead and remind you that protection issues have played a role in Rivers' regression the last two seasons. That will need to change before Rivers rebounds.
