Justin Herbert Set for Bounce Back, Remains a Low-End QB1
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert enters Week 13 eager for a bounce-back after his worst performance of the season in Week 11. In the team's disappointing 35-6 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, Herbert completed just 10 of 18 passes for 81 yards and threw an interception before being benched early, marking his first game without a passing touchdown this season. For the upcoming game against the Las Vegas Raiders, Herbert should find better success despite the Raiders not having allowed a 300-yard passer this season. The Las Vegas defense plays zone coverage at the second-highest rate, where Herbert ranks middle-of-the-pack. However, his battered offensive line has allowed 35 sacks this season. That vulnerability raises concerns that Head Coach Jim Harbaugh and Offensive Coordinator Greg Roman hopefully addressed during the bye week. If the Chargers' defense can contain the struggling Las Vegas offense, the game may lean more toward a balanced running attack. RotoBaller ranks Herbert as QB9 this week, making him a solid but somewhat risky low-end QB1 with a limited ceiling due to protection and scheme issues.
