2024 Fantasy Outlook
After two top-10 fantasy seasons, including QB2 in 2021, the last two years have been less than spectacular for Herbert. Injuries played a part, including last season when he missed the final four games with a finger injury that required surgery. Even when healthy, he didn't live up to expectations. In four of his last seven full games he posted no more than 13 fantasy points. Herbert was on target with 74.3 percent of his attempts (8th in NFL), but his average target depth was a middling 7.6 yards (17th) and he only completed 32.2 percent of his attempts of 20-plus yards (21st), all of which resulted in a mediocre 6.9 YPA (21st). This season, he'll have a new system with new teammates. As the Jim Harbaugh era begins, gone are RB Austin Ekeler and WRs Keenan Allen and Mike Williams. Joshua Palmer, coming off an injury-marred season, is the No. 1 WR by default followed by Quentin Johnston, a 2023 first-round pick who had a miserable rookie season. 2024 second-round pick Ladd McConkey, who has 4.39 speed, will challenge both for targets, and the team also signed veteran DJ Chark. How many targets are available is another matter with new run-minded offensive coordinator Greg Roman -- Herbert's fourth OC in five years. The strong-armed Herbert certainly won't get the 39.1 attempts per game he averaged the last four years -- only Tom Brady averaged more since 2020. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Stymied by KC
Herbert completed 16 of 27 passes for 179 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
Herbert led the Chargers on a 10-play, 74-yard touchdown drive on their opening possession, during which he went 4-for-4 for 49 yards. However, he mostly struggled from there as the offense picked up only 12 total first downs and 224 net yards. Herbert has limited mistakes through four games this season, but he has also yet to reach 180 passing yards as the Chargers continue to employ a very conservative offense. Positively, he'll have a week to rest his ankle injury, as the team hits its bye week.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2021
2020
Herbert looked poised for a big season last year, but injuries knocked him (and the Chargers) off course. Fractured rib cartilage suffered Week 2 hampered Herbert for several weeks, and he threw seven interceptions in a nine-game stretch with a 6.4 YPA and 6.2-yard average target depth (the team went 4-5). Compounding the situation were a season-ending biceps tear for LT Rashawn Slater in Week 3 and lesser injuries to WRs Keenan Allen and Mike Williams, who played only four full games together. No surprise, then, Herbert’s TD passes dropped by 13 from the previous year, and while he was second in the league with 4,739 passing yards, he needed 699 attempts to get there as his average target depth (6.5) ranked 31st and his 6.8 YPA ranked 26th. The Chargers had enough of OC Joe Lombardi’s scheme, replacing him with former Cowboys coordinator Kellen Moore in the offseason. A more balanced offense -- L.A. was 31st in run percentage (35.0) last season -- with improved efficiency in the passing game would benefit Hebert even if it means fewer pass attempts. He was on the field for OTAs after January surgery on his non-throwing shoulder, wasting no time getting to work with Moore and first-round pick Quentin Johnston. The rookie gives Herbert a second deep threat across from Williams, while Allen, RB Austin Ekeler and TE Gerald Everett provide plenty of firepower for shorter throws.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Jumps back into practice Wednesday
Herbert, who exited Sunday's loss to the Steelers with an aggravation of his ankle sprain, was able to practice in limited fashion Wednesday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Herbert participated in 7-on-7 drills Wednesday and said his ankle felt good following the workout. The quarterback hadn't been able to practice last Wednesday after he originally suffered the injury in Week 3, so his ability to get on the field in some capacity seemingly bodes well for his chances of being ready to play this Sunday against the Chiefs.
