Justin Herbert named permanent starter

Oct 08, 2020

According to Adam Schefter on Twitter, head coach Anthony Lynn has officially made rookie quarterback Justin Herbert the starter going forward.

Fantasy Impact:

While there was little doubt that Herbert had done enough to keep the job even when Tyrod Taylor was healthy, Lynn was hesitant to make the permanent switch official when Taylor was recovering from a punctured lung at the hands of team doctors. Taylor knew that he was a stopgap solution for the Chargers, but the way what is likely his last starting role ended has to leave a bad taste in the mouths of all involved. Herbert has been impressive since he took over under center, and is the QB10 from Week 2 through Week 4. Herbert is our 19th ranked quarterback for Week 5.

The Saints officially listed QB Derek Carr (left hand/concussion) as doubtful for Sunday vs. Washington. Jake Haener will make his first NFL start.

RB Alvin Kamara (illness) is off the injury report and good to go.

Related Players: Kendre Miller

Fantasy Impact:

It would have been an easy click for a Kendre Miller week if Kamara were forced to miss, but this puts the kibosh on that. Fire Kamara up as an RB2 this week in a game that may feature him even more than usual with no Carr.

The Seahawks list RB Kenneth Walker III (calf) as doubtful for Sunday's game.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like a clear runway for another Charbonnet week in what should be a tightly contested game against the Packers at home. Fire him up as a fringe RB1/2.
