LAC QB Justin Herbert - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at Atlanta Falcons

It was a tale of two halves for Justin Herbert against Baltimore. In the first half, he looked like the quarterback that had been on fire, but in the second half he looked like a quarterback unsure of what to do and where to go with the football. OC Greg Roman seems to be intent on running Quentin Johnston on deep routes only, which doesn't help Johnston or Herbert.

Thankfully, the Falcons are an easy matchup as they are 28th aFPA against quarterbacks this season. A lot of the success or failure from a fantasy perspective for Herbert comes down to playcalling. Although with J.K. Dobbins on injured reserve, they may not have a choice to go run-heavy. Herbert is an easy QB1 this week and QB5 overall. A must-start.

LAC QB Justin Herbert - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Cincinnati Bengals

Well, the rug got pulled on us last week after Gus Edwards returned. Justin Herbert didn't see the pass volume we were hoping or expecting, but we did see him start to use his feet and he scored a rushing touchdown last week. We'll need that if the passing volume is going to revert back to the early season mark.

The Bengals are 29th aFPA against opposing quarterbacks and this is a prime matchup for Herbert. Obviously, the hope is we see the mid-season passing numbers and not the early-season volume, but it's hard to say. The matchup is so good and Herbert is a QB1 this week with a big ceiling, but just be aware of the obvious downside here.

LAC QB Justin Herbert - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Tennessee Titans

The post-bye passing bump Justin Herbert and the Chargers have given us is easily one of the most surprising developments of the season. We're all just waiting to see if it reverts back to the pre-bye standard, but as long as things are rolling like this it seems hard for me not to go back to Herbert.

Tennessee is 19th aFPA against quarterbacks this season so it isn't a super difficult matchup for Herbert. While the Titans have been tough against wide receivers, the Chargers have had a few games against tough passing games lately and Herbert has looked solid. I think Herbert is a start, for sure, in superflex leagues. Depending on your bye situation, Herbert could also be viable in standard leagues as well.

LAC QB Justin Herbert - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at Cleveland Browns

The last few weeks have been incredible for Justin Herbert's managers, but a tougher test is on the horizon. Even still, the Chargers' passing game has been encouraging, even if the results have been far from perfect. Add Quentin Johnston back, and things could presumably sustain for the rest of the season, assuming Jim Harbaugh and Greg Roman want them to.

It is a tougher matchup against Cleveland this week as the Browns are 10th aFPA against quarterbacks, but it should be noted they are 27th against wide receivers, so something to think about. This isn't a situation to avoid, but given the potential for things to switch back to a run-heavy approach at any moment, Herbert is best used in superflex leagues rather than standard leagues.

LAC QB Justin Herbert - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs New Orleans Saints

Despite a banged up receiver room, Justin Herbert put up a monster performance on Monday night football. Granted, the offense got a little too conservative at times and they settled for field goals, but Herbert did have 349 yards. That was easily his season-high under Jim Harbaugh and Greg Roman.

The Saints are 5th aFPA against quarterbacks so it's definitely a more difficult matchup than the Cardinals on Monday. Still, last week was super encouraging even if it wasn't likely sustainable. Herbert is a start in superflex leagues, but in standard you likely have better options. He's a back-end QB2 this week.

LAC QB Justin Herbert - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Arizona Cardinals

It took six weeks, but Justin Herbert finally broke 200 yards passing! Not at all what you want to hear about your fantasy quarterback, but we have to take the little wins when we can with this passing game. Herbert set season highs in attempts, completions, and yards against a banged-up Broncos defense.

If you have any faith in the passing game, this is a solid matchup for Herbert. Unfortunately, if 237 yards is the ceiling, it's tough to count on even against the 22nd defense aFPA against quarterbacks. There are worse options in superflex, but in standard leagues it's just too tough to trust Herbert.

LAC QB Justin Herbert - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at Denver Broncos

This is an ugly matchup for Justin Herbert, who is coming back from a bye, but at least he is finally off the injury report. Denver is No. 2 aFPA against quarterbacks.

Denver is not a matchup to attack even for good passing offenses and the Chargers are not a good passing offense. Low volume in a tough matchup? This is a pass. He's ranked as a QB2 this week, but I'd rather start Drake Maye or Spencer Rattler in their first starts over Herbert here. If you're desperate in superflex, I guess, but largely this is a passing game I'm trying to avoid.
