Justin Herbert down bad in Week 9

Justin Herbert Headshot

Chargers QB Justin Herbert completed 16 of 30 passes for 126 yards with 0 TDs or INTs in Week 9’s victory over the Jets. He also added 17 rushing yards in the contest, but Herbert’s 7.1 fantasy points on Monday night are firmly his lowest in a game this season. Herbert being sacked five times doesn’t help matters either. Fantasy managers should expect him to be able to return much better production than this for the rest of the season, but don’t get too excited. The Chargers’ remaining schedule ranks fifth-hardest for QBs in adjusted fantasy points allowed. Don’t take this as an “abandon ship” warning for Herbert, though. Two of those remaining games are against the Broncos (32nd in pass defense DVOA). It’s just something to be mindful of moving forward.
