Justin Herbert Fantasy

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley and offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi plan to build the Chargers offense in 2021 around second-year quarterback Justin Herbert. But Herbert will also be learning a new offense with a new head coach and offensive coordinator in just his second season. The Oregon product finished sixth in passing yards (4,336), 10th in touchdown passes (31), 12th in passer rating (98.3) and had only 10 interceptions in his rookie season. "He has a skillset that is elite," Lombardi said. "It appears that there's nothing that he can't do. He has an incredibly strong arm, good accuracy and he is very athletic." Herbert's 31 passing touchdowns was the most for a rookie QB. With his arrow pointing firmly upward, the 22-year-old will be a midrange QB1 with upside in 2021.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie quarterback Justin Herbert continued to break records in a Week 17 victory versus the Kansas City Chiefs. Herbert was 22-for-31 for 302 yards and three touchdowns. He also rushed the ball six times for nine yards and a touchdown. Herbert was very impressive after becoming the starter quarterback in Week 2 and passed Carson Wentz for the most completions by a quarterback in their rookie season. He also became the first rookie quarterback to pass for over 30 touchdowns and has scored the most total touchdowns by a rookie with 36. Herbert's stock is rising heading into 2021 and he should be treated as a QB1 when managers set up their draft board.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie quarterback Justin Herbert will look to finish his debut campaign on a high note versus the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 17. Herbert made his NFL debut versus the Chiefs in Week 2 and put up 311 yards with one touchdown and one interception. The rookie has come a long way since and he should have an easier matchup on Sunday with the Chiefs likely playing many of their backups on defense. Herbert has been very impressive in rookie year and makes for a fine play in DFS on Sunday, but he will likely be without top options Keenan Allen (COVID-19) and Hunter Henry (COVID-19).
