Chargers' Justin Herbert: Strong showing in win
Justin Herbert completed 18 of 27 passes for 282 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions and rushed three times for two yards in the Los Angeles Chargers' 27-10 win over the Browns on Sunday.Herbert continued his upward trajectory through the air with another successful passing performance Sunday, posting his third straight total of over 275 passing yards while also tossing multiple touchdowns for the second consecutive contest. On Sunday, those scoring throws went to Joshua Palmer (28 yards) and Quentin Johnston (66 yards) in the first and second quarters, respectively, with both plays occurring at least partly due to busted coverages. In addition to his increased efficiency, Herbert also has a six-game streak without an interception heading into a Week 10 home matchup against the Titans.

Chargers' Justin Herbert: Heating up after slow start
Justin Herbert completed 20 of 32 passes for 279 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 26-8 win over the Saints. He added 49 yards on four rushing attempts.Herbert threw second-half touchdowns of 60 and nine yards to Ladd McConkey as the Los Angeles Chargers pulled away for an easy win. The fifth-year quarterback's rushing total was bolstered by a career-long 38-yard run in the first quarter. Herbert has averaged 314 passing yards in his last two games after averaging only 163 passing yards per game in his first five starts this season. He seems to be fully recovered from the ankle injury that bothered him earlier in the season, which bodes well for Herbert's chances of building on his recent uptick in Week 9 against the Browns.

Chargers' Justin Herbert: Vintage yardage total in loss
Justin Herbert completed 27 of 39 passes for 349 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions and rushed twice for eight yards in the Los Angeles Chargers' 17-15 loss to the Cardinals on Monday night.Herbert turned in a final line reminiscent of previous seasons, even though he was operating without No. 2 receiver Quentin Johnston (ankle). The fifth-year pro connected with an impressive nine different targets on the night on his way to a season high in passing yardage. Herbert did go without a touchdown pass for the first time this season, but he put his team in position for a win by leading a marathon 15-play, 77-yard march that took up over eight minutes in the fourth quarter and culminated in a go-ahead field goal. While the Bolts defense ultimately couldn't hold up its end of the bargain, Herbert appears to be trending in the right direction fantasy-wise heading into a Week 8 home matchup against the Saints.

Chargers' Justin Herbert: Season high in passing yards
Justin Herbert completed 21 of his 34 attempts for 237 yards and a touchdown in the 23-16 win over the Broncos on Sunday.Herbert has had significantly better statistical days, but make no mistake, Sunday was one of the best outings of his career. Despite facing a Broncos secondary that had rightfully earned the reputation as one of the best in the league, the Pro Bowl signal caller was flinging it all around the field throughout the first half while dropping dimes against single coverage and throwing frozen ropes on 15-yard first-down darts. It was even more impressive given Quentin Johnston and Ladd McConkey both left at various points in the first half, although his top two targets did return during the contest. Herbert tallied a season-high 184 yards in the first half, and with the Los Angeles Chargers up three scores until the fourth quarter, the offense was content sitting on the ball over the course of the final 30 minutes. The 26-year-old could be poised to build off this performance against a Cardinals defense that allowed four passing touchdowns against the Packers in Week 6.

Chargers' Justin Herbert: Good to go Sunday
Justin Herbert (ankle) practiced fully Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Broncos.After turning in back-to-back limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday, Herbert's full participation Friday paves the way for him to start against Denver this weekend. The QB has been managing an ankle injury of late, but Herbert no doubt benefited from the Los Angeles Chargers' Week 5 bye and should be closer to 100 percent ahead of Week 6 action.

Chargers' Justin Herbert: Still limited by ankle issue
Justin Herbert (ankle) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.Herbert had some time to rest his troublesome right ankle during the Los Angeles Chargers' Week 5 bye, but the quarterback's listed limitations Wednesday suggest that he continues to manage the injury ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos. That said, the Chargers haven't indicated that Herbert is in any danger of missing the Week 6 contest, though he could be listed as questionable heading into the game if he doesn't upgrade to full practice participation by Friday.

Chargers' Justin Herbert: Stymied by KC
Justin Herbert completed 16 of 27 passes for 179 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Chiefs.Herbert led the Los Angeles Chargers on a 10-play, 74-yard touchdown drive on their opening possession, during which he went 4-for-4 for 49 yards. However, he mostly struggled from there as the offense picked up only 12 total first downs and 224 net yards. Herbert has limited mistakes through four games this season, but he has also yet to reach 180 passing yards as the Chargers continue to employ a very conservative offense. Positively, he'll have a week to rest his ankle injury, as the team hits its bye week.

Chargers' Justin Herbert: Active versus Chiefs
Justin Herbert (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.Herbert, who was limited in all three of the Los Angeles Chargers' practices this week after having aggravated his high right-ankle sprain last weekend, approached the contest officially listed as questionable. With his active status confirmed, the QB will continue to work through his injury versus Kansas City. It remains to be seen how much Herbert's ankle issue will impact his mobility Sunday, but he'll give a go, with Taylor Heinicke and Easton Stick available to sub in should Herbert end up suffering a setback, as he did during Week 3 action.

Chargers' Justin Herbert: Expected to play
Justin Herbert (ankle) is expected to play Sunday against the Chiefs, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Herbert, who is listed as questionable for the contest, will go through a pre-game warmup to determine completely if he's able to go, but the expectation is that the franchise signal caller will be available for the pivotal divisional matchup against the Chiefs. The fifth-year starter played in a similar circumstance last week, only to leave early in the fourth quarter after aggravating the reported high-ankle sprain. The Los Angeles Chargers have an early bye next week and this week are expecting to miss both starting tackles, Rashawn Slater (pectoral) and Joe Alt (knee), so it wasn't a guarantee Herbert would play in this one. Expect the offense to lean heavily on the rushing attack, like it always does, to neutralize the high-scoring capability of the Chiefs and try to keep the game close.
