Justin Herbert's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert played well in a 27-10 Week 9 win over the Cleveland Browns. Herbert attempted 27 passes, completing 18 of them for 282 yards and two touchdowns. He added two yards on the ground on three recorded carries while taking six sacks, losing 36 yards. Herbert's first touchdown was a 28-yard pass to Joshua Palmer in the first quarter, and he followed it up with a 66-yard pass to Quentin Johnston in the second. Herbert didn't need to do much in the second half as the Chargers just chewed lock and nursed their lead. He could have had a bigger game, but the Bolts defense held the Browns to just three points until the last drive of the game. Herbert and the Chargers will take on the Titans in Week 10.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert will look to build off his strong performance in Week 8 as he heads into a Week 9 game against the Cleveland Browns. Herbert had his first fantasy QB1 game of the season in Week 8, putting up 24.1 fantasy points in standard scoring leagues for an overall QB9 finish. Herbert has been playing well most of the season but hadn't been asked to do much in what was an extremely run-heavy offense. He's thrown more in the past two games, however, and could be continuing that pattern against an average at best Cleveland secondary. With several of his pass catchers expected to be back and fully healthy this week, it could be a second QB1 performance in a row for the Bolts signal caller.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert tossed two touchdowns in a Week 8 win over the New Orleans Saints. Herbert attempted 32 passes, completing 20 of them for 279 and the two touchdowns. He also added 49 yards on the ground on four carries, including one for a huge 38-yard gain. Herbert's two passing touchdowns went to rookie wide receiver Ladd McConkey, who had an excellent game. That's now two weeks in a row of strong quarterback play from Herbert after a mediocre start to the season. His fantasy arrow is pointing up heading into a Week 9 game against the Cleveland Browns.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is not an exciting fantasy option in Week 8 lineups. Herbert is coming off his best performance of the season in Week 7, where he scored 14.8 standard fantasy points and finished as the overall QB17. We all know his ceiling is much higher than that based on his talent, but even in a Week 7 game where he did almost nothing wrong, his team was still unable to find the end zone even once. In this offense, Herbert is limited to QB2 status despite his clear QB1 skills. He should be somewhere right around last week's QB17 ranking this week as well.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert had his first 300-yard game of the season in a Week 7 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Herbert threw the ball 39 times, completing 27 passes. The attempts and completions were also season highs for Herbert, and it was also the first game where the Chargers focused far more on passing the ball than on running it. Despite the solid passing game, Herbert didn't find the end zone (partly because of an inexcusably awful fumble by Jalen Reagor), which kept him from putting up a particularly strong fantasy performance. Still, it was a mostly encouraging performance from Herbert and the Los Angeles passing game, who will take on the Saints on Sunday in Week 8.
