• Chargers' Justin Herbert: Throws four picks in ugly loss

  01/12/2025 • By RotoWire

  Herbert completed 14 of 32 pass attempts for 242 yards, one touchdown and four interceptions with no rushing stats in Saturday's wild-card round loss to the Texans. Herbert picked an inopportune time to have the worst passing game of his promising career, as Saturday's four-pick performance was the primary cause of the Chargers' season coming to an abrupt end. The 26-year-old is now 0-2 in two career playoff appearances, which comes on the heels of a solid regular season (3,870-23-3) in head coach Jim Harbaugh's first season with Los Angeles. Herbert and the Chargers' more-balanced offense will have to regroup for the 2025 campaign despite finishing the season well ahead of franchise expectations.

• Chargers' Justin Herbert: Dominant in road victory

  12/28/2024 • By RotoWire

  Herbert completed 26 of 38 passes for 281 yards and three touchdowns against New England on Saturday. The Patriots were overwhelmed by Herbert and WR1 Ladd McConkey, who dropped a wide-open look on his first target of the game but lit up the Patriots for eight catches for 94 yards and two touchdowns on the next nine targets while propelling the Chargers to a 40-7 road victory. As long as McConkey gets going, the Chargers usually have enough targets on hand for Herbert to get hot, but the lack of complementary pass catchers leaves a lot of pressure on McConkey from week to week, and few means of recourse whenever McConkey's production slows. The Chargers face a mostly accommodating Raiders defense in Week 18.

• Chargers' Justin Herbert: Piles up yardage against tough D

  12/20/2024 • By RotoWire

  Herbert completed 23 of 31 passes for 284 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in the Chargers' 34-27 win over the Broncos on Thursday night. He also rushed eight times for 28 yards and threw a two-point conversion pass. Herbert put together a mostly crisp performance that saw him generate his highest passing yardage total since Week 11. The 2020 first-round pick brought the Chargers back from an 11-point third-quarter deficit, connecting with Derius Davis (19 yards) and Hassan Haskins (34 yards) for his pair of touchdown tosses and hitting Joshua Palmer with a two-point conversion pass after the first score. Herbert's clutch second-half performance pushed the Chargers into a tie in the standings with the Broncos at 9-6, and the talented signal-caller will look to carry over the momentum into a Week 17 road battle versus the Patriots on Saturday, Dec. 28.

• Chargers' Justin Herbert: QBs to Sit

  12/19/2024 • By Jamey Eisenberg

  Herbert heads into Thursday's game against Denver having scored 17.8 Fantasy points or less in four games in a row against Baltimore, Atlanta, Kansas City and Tampa Bay. He's been dealing with an ankle injury, which could explain why he's only rushed for 13 yards in his past three games. Herbert was held to 15.7 Fantasy points in Week 6 at Denver, and the Broncos have only allowed two quarterbacks all season to score at least 20 Fantasy points (Lamar Jackson in Week 9 and Jameis Winston in Week 13). I would only start Herbert in Superflex and two-quarterback leagues in Week 16.

• Chargers' Justin Herbert: No injury designation

  12/18/2024 • By RotoWire

  Herbert (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Thursday's game against the Broncos. The Chargers held a walk-through practice Wednesday but estimated that Herbert would have been a full participant in a more strenuous session. He was listed with ankle and thigh injuries last week, before suiting up and completing 21 of 33 passes for 195 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in a 40-17 loss to Tampa Bay. Another loss Thursday night would make the Chargers highly unlikely to enter the AFC playoffs as anything better than the No. 7 seed, while a win would keep them in the running for the fifth or sixth seed.
