Justin Herbert Fantasy

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (shoulder) was pushing the ball downfield regularly in the opening period of his return to organized team activities on Wednesday after having surgery in January on his left, non-throwing shoulder. He took around 25 repetitions over two 7-on-7 periods. Herbert tossed a pair of 50-yard touchdowns, so clearly his right arm is completely fine. He should enter training camp in late July with minimal limitations physically. "Obviously Justin has a cannon," receiver Keenan Allen said. "We're probably going to be going deep." Herbert should have more upside in new offensive coordinator Kellen Moore's system as he attempts to bounce back from a somewhat disappointing season in 2022.

As expected, Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (shoulder) participated in 7-on-7 drills during organized team activities on Wednesday. It's the first time that Herbert has practiced in front of reporters since having offseason labrum surgery on his left, non-throwing shoulder. Herbert should be fully ready to go in training camp at the end of July, and if he can stay healthy in 2023, he should improve on what was a rather disappointing third season in the NFL after. He did complete a career-high 68.2% of his passes, but he had a career-low 25 TDs and 10 interceptions in 17 regular season starts. The 25-year-old QB will need Keenan Allen and Mike Williams to stay healthy, but he still has running back Austin Ekeler and gained first-round rookie wideout Quentin Johnston. Herbert isn't a bad fallback option in fantasy once the elite names come off the board.

The Los Angeles Chargers remain in talks with Justin Herbert to extend the 25-year-old's contract. Herbert, the No. 6 overall draft pick in 2020, has two years left after the Chargers exercised his fifth-year option earlier this year. Last season, he suffered a cartilage fracture in Week 2 and a torn labrum in his left shoulder in Week 17, and the Chargers' top two wide receivers also missed multiple games with injuries. While Herbert completed 68.2% of his passes, a career-high, and threw interceptions at his lowest ever rate, his touchdown pass total and yard per attempt figure fell to their lowest levels yet. Now with new offensive coordinator Kellen Moore coming in, there is hope that Herbert can get back to the high-end of play he was showing for much of 2021.
