The Los Angeles Chargers will visit the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 11. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding QB Justin Herbert.
Is Justin Herbert Playing in Week 11?
Herbert is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Chargers’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Herbert in Week 11?
Herbert wasn’t at his best against the Steelers last week, but he did have a 15+ yard rush for the third straight game, and the rushing numbers have been far more stable than I would have ever guessed.
The Jags blitz at the seventh-highest rate in the league, which could put Herbert on the run and thus introduce some big plays. Before the poor showing in Week 10, Herbert had four straight games with multiple TD passes and completed over 67% of his passes in four of five.
I don’t want to speak out of turn, but current Herbert, in terms of fantasy, feels like Patrick Mahomes down the stretch of seasons in years past: an elite arm talent that is stretching his legs as a runner.
You’re looking at my QB5 this week and the top Tier 2 QB in my rankings for the remainder of the season.
