Justin Herbert

PFM Fantasy Outlook

Herbert's Week 1 line was solid without becoming a spike game. He completed 17 of 27 passes for 209 yards, one touchdown and one interception against Arizona, then added 29 rushing yards on five carries. The rushing production helped the floor, but the passing volume never climbed high enough to create a top-end fantasy result.

PFM ranks Herbert QB10 for Week 2 against Las Vegas. The ranking leaves room for a stronger performance if the Chargers create more scoring drives. Herbert does not need to run heavily to matter, but 29 rushing yards are a useful bonus when the passing touchdowns stay low. Week 2 is mainly about whether the offense gives him more chances to finish drives through the air.
