Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (hand) broke a bone in his left hand during his team's Week 13 win over the Las Vegas Raiders and is scheduled to undergo a procedure on Monday. However, Herbert said he is "treating it as if I'm playing" when asked about his status for the team's Week 14 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. On the bright side, Herbert will have an extra day of rest as the Chargers play the Eagles on Monday Night Football. However, Herbert will almost certainly be compromised to some degree if he's able to play at all against Philadelphia. Herbert completed 15 of 20 pass attempts for 151 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception against Las Vegas. If he ends up not being able to play against the Eagles, backup quarterback Trey Lance would be in line to make the start. Even if Herbert is active, fantasy managers in single-QB formats may want to look elsewhere at the quarterback position in Week 14.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (hand) could be in jeopardy of missing some time after suffering an injury on Sunday. According to Adam Schefter, Herbert suffered a fractured left hand during the Week 13 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. The team is uncertain if Herbert is going to miss any action right now. The 27-year-old is set to undergo surgery on Monday, so the team will give a better timetable throughout the week. Herbert completed 15-of-20 passing attempts for 151 yards with two touchdowns and one interception during Sunday's win. However, this could be the last time fantasy managers get to use Herbert with the playoffs looming. At the moment, Trey Lance is the backup, so he figures to start if Herbert sits out during the Week 14 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Fantasy managers will need to check back throughout the week for more updates on his status.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert enters Week 13 eager for a bounce-back after his worst performance of the season in Week 11. In the team's disappointing 35-6 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, Herbert completed just 10 of 18 passes for 81 yards and threw an interception before being benched early, marking his first game without a passing touchdown this season. For the upcoming game against the Las Vegas Raiders, Herbert should find better success despite the Raiders not having allowed a 300-yard passer this season. The Las Vegas defense plays zone coverage at the second-highest rate, where Herbert ranks middle-of-the-pack. However, his battered offensive line has allowed 35 sacks this season. That vulnerability raises concerns that Head Coach Jim Harbaugh and Offensive Coordinator Greg Roman hopefully addressed during the bye week. If the Chargers' defense can contain the struggling Las Vegas offense, the game may lean more toward a balanced running attack. RotoBaller ranks Herbert as QB9 this week, making him a solid but somewhat risky low-end QB1 with a limited ceiling due to protection and scheme issues.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert had his worst performance of the season in the team's 35-6 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, completing just 10 of 18 passes for 81 yards and an interception before being pulled from the game in the second half. It was the first game this season without a passing touchdown for him, and only the eighth in his career. Herbert led the team in rushing with 21 yards, highlighting the offense's overall inefficiency. The Chargers managed only eight first downs, held the ball for just 22 minutes, and reached the red zone only once. Herbert was constantly under pressure behind an injured, overmatched offensive line that has now allowed 35 sacks this season. He was briefly evaluated for a concussion at the end of the first half after a sack, but returned to start the second half. Herbert and the Bolts get a much-needed bye in Week 12.

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.
