Justin Herbert Fantasy

Coming off of a dismal Week 16 performance, Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert bounced back in a Week 17 victory versus the Denver Broncos. The signal-caller was 22-for-31 on the afternoon for 237 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. The Chargers had a big lead for most of the contest and that explains why Herbert only threw the ball 31 times. Herbert was effective and there should be no concern with the Chargers leading the league in pass attempts this season. Entering Week 18, Herbert will remain a QB1 in a favorable matchup versus the Las Vegas Raiders.

After a rough Week 16 performance, Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert will look to get back on track in Week 17 against a tough Denver Broncos defense. The Oregon Duck product is coming off of arguably his worst performance of the season and things won't get easier against a Broncos defense that is allowing just 226 yards per game through the air. They have also limited the quarterback position to just 18 touchdowns on the season with 13 interceptions. When the two teams met earlier in the season, Herbert threw for 303 yards with two touchdowns, but did toss a pair of interceptions. With the Chargers playoff hopes riding on the final two games, Herbert will need a strong recovery from last week and that will need to start on Sunday. Even in a tough matchup, Herbert should be considered a QB1 in most formats.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert put together an ugly performance in an upset loss versus the Houston Texans in Week 16. With many fantasy leagues in their semifinals, Herbert couldn't have picked a worse time to lay an egg for his managers. The sophomore signal-caller struggled all day against the Texans defense and finished the contest 27-for-35 for 336 yards with one touchdown and a pair of interceptions. Herbert's second interception would come in the finals minutes of the contest and was returned for a touchdown by Texans defensive back Tavierre Thomas. Herbert would get the ball back after that and was able to somewhat salvage his day with a garbage time touchdown to Josh Palmer. Overall, Herbert had a disappointing performance on the afternoon and managers have every right to be frustrated with his performance in Week 16. Despite his rough outing, managers should still have confidence that Herbert can return to form against a tough Denver Broncos defense in Week 17.
