Fantasy Football Player Notes

Justin Herbert is the QB11 in fantasy points per game. Last week's QB4 performance in weekly scoring was his first QB1 outing since Week 9. It was the first time that he had passed for at least 300 yards since Week 7. Among 45 qualifying quarterbacks, Herbert ranks 14th in yards per attempt, fifth in passing touchdowns (tied), sixth in highly accurate throw rate, and 12th in hero throw rate. I'll be surprised if he finishes as a QB1 this week against Houston's nasty pass defense. Since Week 12, Houston has allowed the 12th-fewest yards per attempt, the eighth-lowest passer rating, and the tenth-fewest passing yards per game while generating the fifth-best pressure rate.
