Justin Herbert

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.

Justin Herbert completed 23-of-29 passes for 300 yards and two touchdowns in the Chargers 34-17 win over the Cowboys.

Fantasy Impact

Herbert added 42 yards and another score on the ground for a huge day. He was super efficient as he missed on just six passes all afternoon. He draws a much tougher matchup next week against the Texans.
