• Chargers' Justin Herbert: Leading rusher in win

  6H ago • By RotoWire

  Herbert (left hand) completed 12 of his 26 pass attempts for 139 yards to go along with one touchdown and one interception. He was also the team's leading rusher with 10 carries for 66 yards, although he did fumble in the 22-19 overtime win over the Eagles. Los Angeles' meager offensive line predictably struggled against Philadelphia's diabolical pass rush, and as such it seemed like Herbert was running for his life all evening. The feat was obviously more impressive considering the Pro Bowl quarterback just had surgery to repair a fracture in his left hand a week prior, but the near constant duress didn't allow for any gaudy fantasy figures. It's hard to envision that looking significantly better against the Chiefs next week, who will be trying to keep their playoff hopes alive.

• Chargers' Justin Herbert: Active for MNF

  12H ago • By RotoWire

  Herbert (left hand) is listed as active for Monday night's game against the Eagles, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports. Herbert, who sustained a fracture in his left (non-throwing) hand during Week 13 action against the Raiders and underwent surgery to address the issue last Monday, had approached the contest listed as questionable after being limited in practice Thursday through Saturday. With his active status confirmed, Herbert is in line to continue to helm a Chargers offense that will be bolstered by the return of RB Omarion Hampton (ankle) from IR. It remains to be seen if/how Herbert's injury will affect his ability to handle snaps versus Philadelphia, with the QB on track to wear a glove and protective guard on his injured hand, per Daniel Popper of The Athletic. Trey Lance is next in line for signal-caller snaps should Herbert suffer any setbacks.

• Chargers' Justin Herbert: Officially questionable for Monday

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Herbert (left hand) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Eagles. Herbert sustained a fracture in his left hand last Sunday against the Raiders and underwent surgery in the wake of the contest. He then opened Week 14 prep with back-to-back limited sessions Thursday and Friday, before being handed the ball when simulating taking snaps under center at Saturday's practice, per Daniel Popper of The Athletic. Herbert thus may log most of his reps in the shotgun Monday, assuming he's made active for that contest.

• Chargers' Justin Herbert: Another limited session

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Herbert (left hand) practiced in a limited capacity Friday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports. Herbert missed a handful of plays in this past Sunday's win against the Raiders due to a left hand injury, for which he underwent surgery to stabilize a fracture Monday, according to Rhim. On Wednesday, Herbert told Rhim that "the plan is to prepare as if I'm going to play and see how the next couple of days goes." Herbert progressed enough by Friday to take snaps under center, per Daniel Popper of The Athletic, which generally is a good sign that he's trending in a positive direction. Saturday's injury report ultimately will reveal if he has a designation for Monday's contest against the Eagles.

• Chargers' Justin Herbert: Bust Alert (Start/Sit)

  5D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  Herbert is expected to play in Week 14 after having surgery Monday to repair a broken left hand. If that doesn't make you nervous, consider that Herbert has scored 16.8 Fantasy points or less in three games in a row. Now, factor in that he's facing the Eagles, who have held Jordan Love, Jared Goff and Caleb Williams to 14.1 Fantasy points or less in three of the past four games. The offensive line for the Chargers is a mess, and Herbert has been sacked 16 times in his past four games. This has the potential to be ugly for Herbert, and he's only worth starting in Superflex and two-quarterback leagues in Week 14.
