A Potentially Challenging Week 1 for Justin Herbert
Justin Herbert is set to face a tough Week 1 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs in São Paulo, Brazil. Herbert is entering the season fully healthy and will have his primary weapons back in Ladd McConkey, returning veteran Keenan Allen, and a healthy Quentin Johnston (concussion). However, the Chiefs are ranked among the top 10 defensive units this year and will look to pressure Herbert frequently. The Chargers' offense, led by offensive coordinator Greg Roman, is expected to lean on the run game this year, but Herbert must make plays with his arm. Herbert's impressive 2024 stats of 3,870 yards, 23 touchdowns, and just three interceptions show his efficiency. Still, this tough matchup between two solid defenses on the road makes it hard to predict a high ceiling performance. RotoBaller projects Herbert as the QB23 this week. He is a low-end QB2, and fantasy managers outside superflex leagues should consider other options.
