Philip Rivers
San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers prepares to throw a pass during a 2014 game."

Cam Newton VS Indianapolis Colts: Newton should find a ton of running room against this Colts defense. This matchup should be pretty tightly contested however one thing that has never been Indianapolis's strong suit has been defense. Newton will control the clock with his play style and should see the end zone.

Andy Dalton at Pittsburgh Steelers: Dalton has had on of his best statistical season so far. He has scored 3 touchdowns in half of the games he has played and has only thrown 2 interceptions all season long. Pittsburgh has allowed on average 250+ yards in through the air so Dalton has a nice matchup heading out of the bye.  

Carson Palmer at Cleveland Browns: Palmer has been on fire all season long and the Browns are not even remotely a scary matchup. John Brown might be missing in action thanks to a couple of lingering injuries however this should not hinder Palmers performance in the slightest. Palmer has 16 touchdowns this season to only 5 interceptions.

Phillip Rivers at Baltimore Ravens: The Baltimore Ravens has given up the 2nd most fantasy points to quarterbacks all season long and Rivers is in prime shape to deliver a big game. Just once in his last 5 games did he not throw for over 300 yards.  Rivers is set to have a career year and it should continue in week 8.
