Justin Herbert Week 15 Outlook - Chargers at Chiefs

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Dec 11th 2025, 1:35pm EST

Justin Herbert played with his repaired hand last week as the QB17 in fantasy, with his surprising ten carries and 66 rushing yards, helping his fantasy value. I didn't see that rushing volume coming. I did, however, see the Chargers skewing run-heavy as Herbert passed only 26 times, completing 46.2% of his passes with 139 yards and 5.3 yards per attempt. Herbert did have a 10.2 aDOT but only managed to sport a 57.7% catchable target rate. The Chargers' passing attack should be downgraded for at least this week again. Since Week 10, Kansas City has allowed the ninth-most passing yards per game, the 11th-most yards per attempt, and the 13th-highest passer rating. I don't think the Chargers will ramp up the volume through the air this week, but hopefully Herbert can see better efficiency numbers when he does chuck it.
