Justin Herbert Fantasy Football Rankings & Outlook

PFM Fantasy Outlook

Justin Herbert is still capable of making difficult throws, but the Chargers have put him in too many situations where he must create an entire offense under pressure. Kansas City sacked him four times in Week 6 and held Los Angeles to six points. The Chargers reached the Chiefs' goal line but failed to finish the drive with a touchdown, another example of an offense losing points after doing the work to reach scoring position.

Herbert has 1,141 passing yards, five touchdowns and eight interceptions through six games. He has also rushed for 168 yards, giving him some production when the passing attack breaks down. The interception total is the larger concern because it can turn a competitive game into another afternoon of desperate throws. PFM's QB9 rest-of-season valuation assumes the offense can improve around him. The line must protect better and the receiving group must get healthier before his familiar fantasy ceiling looks realistic again.
