Justin Herbert Fantasy

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert had a rough day in a Week 2 loss versus the Dallas Cowboys. Coming off of an underwhelming Week 1, Herbert was 31-for-41 for 338 yards and one touchdown to go along with a pair of interceptions. He also picked up 12 yards on the ground. His lone touchdown was a 12-yard pass to Mike Williams in the first quarter. Herbert could have had a better day, but two of his touchdown throws in the second half were taken off of the board with penalties on the Chargers. Herbert has looked good on the field, but it hasn't translated to big numbers in the fantasy community. Herbert has now passed for 675 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions. The signal caller has now had back-to-back games with at least 40 passing attempts and next week versus the Kansas City Chiefs is set up to be a shootout. Managers should continue to have confidence with Herbert for now.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert will draw a favorable matchup versus the Dallas Cowboys defense in Week 2. Herbert drew a tough Washington Football Team defense in Week 1, but looked good and completed 26 of 40 passes for 265 yards and a touchdown with one interception. In his second year in the league, Herbert projects to have some of the highest upside at the quarterback position in 2021, especially under new offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi. The Cowboys allowed 379 yards and four touchdowns to Tom Brady in Week 1 and there is no reason to believe that Herbert isn't set up for a big game weekend. Managers should start him as QB1 with confidence in Week 2.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert went 26-for-40 for 265 yards in a Week 1 victory versus the Washington Football Team. He also had a fumble and interception. Herbert looked very good passing the ball and would have put up better numbers, but his receivers dropped plenty of passes and that included two potential touchdowns. Despite that, Herbert still showed his strong potential against one of the better defenses in the league. Things should get easier in Week 2 versus the Dallas Cowboys and that game has the potential to be a shootout. Herbert should be considered a QB1 next week and most weeks moving forward.
