Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert threw for 220 yards and one touchdown, while rushing five times for 19 yards in Sunday night's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Despite taking five sacks and taping both ankles during the game, he did not appear on this week's injury report. Next, the Chargers travel to face a Jacksonville Jaguars defense that has cooled down significantly, allowing the ninth-most passing yards and the fourth-most receiving touchdowns this season. While the Jaguars still have 12 interceptions on the season, any turnovers are more likely to be forced by Herbert's shaky protection due to the depleted and inconsistent offensive line play from Austin Deculus (34.9 PFF grade) and Mekhi Becton (40.6 PFF grade), rather than coverage. Herbert's ability to capitalize on a vulnerable defense and use his legs when feeling pressure makes him a confident mid-range QB1 this week, ranking as RotoBaller's QB5.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert threw for 220 yards and one touchdown, while rushing five times for 19 yards in Sunday night's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. It was another gritty performance as he continued to play behind a severely depleted offensive line. Herbert was sacked five times and took numerous hits, which led him to tape both ankles during the game. The Chargers relied more on their ground game, helping to reduce some of the pressure throughout the night. Looking ahead to Week 11, Herbert faces a Jacksonville Jaguars defense that ranks second in interceptions (12) but has also allowed the fourth-most passing touchdowns. Jacksonville's secondary is opportunistic yet inconsistent, offering Herbert a potential rebound opportunity... if the offensive line can hold up. Keep an eye on his ankle health throughout the week, but expect mid-tier QB1 production if he's fully healthy.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert enters Week 10 aiming to maintain his efficient performance against a Pittsburgh Steelers defense that has shown vulnerabilities through the air. Despite Pittsburgh ranking last in passing yards allowed per game and 27th in fantasy points per dropback on deep passes, they recently improved by beating the league's top offense, the Indianapolis Colts, last week. Herbert's protection remains a significant concern, with tackle Joe Alt out for the season, and the Chargers trading for the inconsistent yet necessary Trevor Penning. The offensive line, which allowed six sacks last week, has forced Herbert (who already leads all quarterbacks in rushing yards) to use his legs to extend plays and gain yardage. After a solid 250-yard, three-touchdown performance, Herbert's efficiency and rushing floor make him a strong start. RotoBaller projects Herbert as QB5 this week, and he remains a high-end QB1.

Los Angeles Chargers' QB Justin Herbert scored an impressive 31.20 fantasy points in Sunday's Week 9 win in Tennessee. Herbert threw for 250 yards on 19-of-29 with two touchdowns and one interception including a pick-6 . It's the 4th time this season Herbert scored at least 25 fantasy points in a game.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert completed 19 of his 29 pass attempts for 250 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception during Sunday's Week 9 victory over the Tennessee Titans. He also had nine rushing attempts for an additional 57 yards and one touchdown on the ground. Tennessee made a bid for the upset early, but Herbert and company kept the score close and ultimately pulled ahead. The 27-year-old quarterback now has 11 total touchdowns and four turnovers over his last four games, cementing himself as a top-five signal-caller in fantasy football. He should be started in all leagues despite next week's matchup against a surging Pittsburgh Steelers defense.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is coming off a highly efficient performance, completing 18 of 25 passes for 227 yards and three touchdowns in a dominant win over the Minnesota Vikings. This week, he faces a struggling Tennessee Titans defense that is ranked 26th overall in yards allowed. While this matchup is very favorable, the Chargers are heavy 9.5-point favorites and may lean more on their rushing game, especially since the Titans will be missing key defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons (hamstring). Herbert remains a solid QB1, but fantasy managers should temper their expectations for a heavy passing day. Additionally, with offensive guard Mekhi Becton (knee) listed as questionable, the Bolts might adopt a more methodical ground-and-pound approach. RotoBaller projects Herbert to be QB6, which gives him a strong floor as a mid-range QB1.

Chargers' QB Justin Herbert scored 28.55 fantasy points in Thursday's Week 8 win against the Vikings. Herbert threw for 227 yards on 18-of-25 with three touchdowns and one interception. It's the 3rd time this season Herbert scored at least 25 fantasy points in a game.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert completed 18 of his 25 pass attempts for 227 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception during Thursday's Week 8 win over the Minnesota Vikings. He also took two sacks and rushed for a season-high 62 yards. Herbert has been an effective fantasy quarterback all season long, but he has truly taken his game to the next level over the last three weeks. During that span, he has a total of eight touchdowns. He does have three interceptions in that timeframe as well, but fantasy managers will tolerate the slight uptick in turnovers if he continues to throw to the end zone at such a high success rate. Herbert will continue to rank as a mid-range QB1 heading into a very favorable Week 9 matchup against the Tennessee Titans.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is coming off a career-best performance with 420 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions. However, in last week's loss to the Indianapolis Colts, he faced pressure 35 times, highlighting the ongoing pressure he's been under behind a battered offensive line for most of the season. Herbert now faces a top-five Minnesota Vikings pass defense on a short week, which poses an immediate risk because the Vikings run the second-highest blitz rate in the NFL. Still, volume matters: Herbert is the most-blitzed QB in the league and just threw 55 passes. Additionally, the Vikings recently allowed 326 yards and three touchdowns to Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts. Key offensive linemen Joe Alt (ankle), Trey Pipkins (knee), and Jamaree Salyer (knee) all practiced in some capacity this week and are listed as questionable for Thursday's game. If they play, protection could improve enough to let Herbert continue airing it out in a must-win situation. RotoBaller projects Herbert as QB11. He remains a locked-in QB1 due to his high passing volume and playmaking ability.

Chargers' QB Justin Herbert scored an impressive 34.10 fantasy points in Sunday's Week 7 loss against the Colts. Herbert threw for 420 yards on 37-of-55 with three touchdowns and two interceptions. It's the 2nd time this season Herbert scored at least 25 fantasy points in a game.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert set a career-high passing for 420 yards in Sunday's 38-24 loss to the Indianapolid Colts, completing 37 of 55 passes with three touchdowns and two interceptions. He also led the team in rushing with 31 yards, but his two turnovers, including one in the end zone, proved costly as the Bolt's defense was nearly non-existent. Looking ahead to Thursday night, Herbert faces a top-five Minnesota Vikings passing defense. However, the Vikings are also coming off a tough loss and just allowed Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts to throw for 326 yards and three touchdowns. The short week and a battered O-line could limit Herbert's potential, but he remains a locked-in QB1 due to his volume and playmaking ability.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert completed 37 of his 55 pass attempts for 420 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions during Sunday's Week 7 loss against the Indianapolis Colts. He also took three sacks and led the team with 31 rushing yards. Herbert turned in his best fantasy performance of the season thanks to his extremely high yardage total and three touchdowns, but the two picks -- plus Los Angeles' struggles running the football and Indianapolis' strong offense -- made it tough for the Bolts to overcome an early deficit. Herbert remains a mid-range QB1 in fantasy football, though, and he should continue to be started heading into Week 8 against the Minnesota Vikings.
