Expect Limited Output From Justin Herbert if he Plays
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is listed as questionable for Monday night against the Philadelphia Eagles after undergoing surgery to stabilize a fracture in his non-throwing (left) hand. Although he returned last week in the win over the Las Vegas Raiders, completing 15 of 20 passes for 151 yards and two touchdowns, the offense has already adjusted to his protection issues, reducing his average depth of target (aDOT) from 7.5 to 6.3 over the past three games. The Eagles' defense is average but boasts a top-10 pressure rate, which is a concern for a quarterback playing through pain, even if Philadelphia defensive tackle Jalen Carter might be out. With Offensive Coordinator Greg Roman known for favoring a run-heavy approach, the Chargers will likely rely on the ground game to protect their signal-caller. RotoBaller ranks Herbert as QB16 this week, making him a risky mid-range QB2 who should only be started by managers in superflex leagues or those in desperate need of a plug-and-play option.
