Draft note

by John Paulsen

Herbert finished as the fantasy QB13 last season after a 13-game, QB16 finish the year before. (He was QB13 on a per-game basis in 2023.) So after a pretty hot start to his career, he has settled into low-end QB1/high-end QB2 territory and he plays for Jim Harbaugh, who likes to establish the run. His 29.6 pass attempts per game last season were well off his career average of 39.1, though he set a career high in yards per attempt (7.7). Daniel Popper (The Athletic) believes that the Chargers’ passing attack “felt stunted” last year due to a lack of vertical threats; “that will not be the case this year.” The Chargers added Tre’ Harris, Oronde Gadsen, and brought 30-year-old Mike Williams back.

Chargers QB Justin Herbert (ankle) is expected to start Sunday against the Chiefs.

Fantasy Impact:

Herbert started Week 3 but seemed to re-aggravate the injury, leading to Taylor Heinicke entering the game. Herbert went through the week without any setbacks. Certainly there’s some caution after last week but Herbert does sound like he’s in a better position than he was entering last week’s game. Proceed with caution and consider another option if you have one, just in case.

LAC QB Justin Herbert - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at New England Patriots

In comeback mode, Justin Herbert shined against a tough Broncos secondary last week. We still didn't get the volume we were hoping for, but Herbert was efficient on his 31 attempts and had 8 carries as well. With Gus Edwards out this week and J.K. Dobbins questionable, we could see a repeat performance this week.

The Patriots are 22nd in aFPA against quarterbacks this season, so hopefully we do see some volume from Herbert this week. It's a solid matchup, but it is so hard to trust him. Herbert checks in as QB14 this week and makes for a solid option in superflex, but can be left on the bench in standard leagues.
