Look at pretty much any QB ranking and you'll see Herbert's name near the top, perhaps a notch below the elite players at the position (Mahomes, Allen, Jackson). In the realm of fantasy football, however, Herbert has been largely a disappointment the past three seasons. After throwing for 5,014 yards and 38 TDs in 2021 as a second-year player, the Oregon product has averaged 3,914 yards and 23 TDs since. His running ticked up a bit last year, but after rushing for eight scores in his first two years he's managed just five in the last three.
Is this the year we see a more dynamic version of LA's passing game? Maybe. Ladd McConkey looks like the real deal, and Herbert closed last season strong with nine TD passes in his final four games, but it's still far from certain. The team reunited with Mike Williams only to watch the veteran unexpectedly retire, leaving a group of unproven wideouts alongside McConkey. Tight end is also unimposing with journeymen Will Dissly and Tyler Conklin set to fill the top two roles. Despite a lack of household names, one thing Herbert has proven is he'll throw to anyone, and his decision making is first rate.
Los Angeles has invested heavily in protecting Herbert, and their running game should be more dynamic in Year 2 under head coach Jim Harbaugh, which figures to open things up for the passing attack. The talent is there for Herbert to produce like a midrange QB1 or higher, but there are too many unknowns to draft him in such a lofty spot. Pencil Herbert in as a borderline QB1/QB2 and target him after the top names are off the board. Just be sure to select a capable alternative to pair with him.

Mike McDaniel set to call plays for LAC in 2026
Former Miami HC set to become offensive coordinator in LA
By: Doug Orth | Tue Jan 20, 11:30 pm
| | Former Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel is expected to become the Chargers offensive coordinator barring a change of heart, per
@JeffDarlington and me. McDaniel has informed other teams that they’re out, the Chargers clearly want him, and the two sides are having dinner tonight. But the expectation across the league is that McDaniel will be staying in LA. (ESPN - Adam Schefter)
FFToday's Take: It is hard to envision a scenario in which this potential hire is not good for Justin Herbert, Omarion Hampton and Oronde Gadsden II. McDaniel worked wonders with Tua Tagovailoa in Miami, helping him lead the league in passing yards one season (2023) and completion percentage in the next (2024). Herbert is much more gifted than Tagovailoa, so expect the quarterback to take a big step forward in 2026. As far as Hampton is concerned, he is much different than De'Von Achane, but Hampton showed enough in the passing game as a rookie to likely catch McDaniel's attention in that regard. Last but not least, McDaniel coaxed production out of Jonnu Smith and Darren Waller in recent years. One would have to think Gadsden will be a key paart of his offense as well.
| Justin Herbert to sit in Week 18
Trey Lance to draw the start vs. Denver
By: Doug Orth | Mon Dec 29, 7:15 pm
| | Justin Herbert will not start Sunday vs. Broncos, Jim Harbaugh said. (The Athletic - Daniel Popper)
FFToday's Take: There is not much to say here, other than the dim prospects of Chargers players facing arguably the best defense in the league fall pretty much off the grid with Trey Lance starting instead of Herbert. Expect Los Angeles to go with a very run-heavy attack with Omarion Hampton and Lance pushing for 30 carries. Ladd McConkey might be worth using as a flex, but even that is not a given.
|  Justin Herbert injures left hand, will have procedure Monday
Unclear if he'll miss time
By: Mike Krueger | Sun Nov 30, 7:48 pm
| | Chargers QB Justin Herbert fractured his left hand today vs. the Raiders and is set to undergo surgery Monday, per HC Jim Harbaugh. The team is uncertain if Herbert will miss any time. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: Herbert missed a series but did return in Week 13 against the Raiders to finish the game. It's unclear at this time if he'll miss Week 14 against the Eagles. If he does, Trey Lance would get the start at Quarterback and the Chargers skill players would get a significant downgrade.
