Personally I'd start Ryan for the 1st part of the season
I think Rivers is risky in general- coming off his worst season, missing his favorite deep threat (VJax) and R Brown isn't as good in the passing game as Tolbert/Matthews

So, is Ryan's offense being better than San Diego's off-set the Oakland D being a better matchup then KC's? Should I stay away from the Chargers usual slow start?

Flowers may not play, and wont be 100% if he does. ryan has looked great. not just preseason but 2nd half of last year. rivers was bad ALL year last year. with your QB situation, Id go ryan until rivers gave me a reason to think otherwise.

Completely agree with the others. I would start Ryan until you have reason to do otherwise.

While I would go Ryan here, just remember rivers wasn't that bad last year. And hes got his boy gates back now.
