The Los Angeles Chargers will host the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 14. 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 14?
Herbert (left hand) was limited at practice on Thursday.
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 14?
Herbert has three straight finishes outside of the top 15 at the position and is now dealing with off-hand surgery ahead of this Monday nighter.
Not great.
Since their Week 9 bye, the Eagles have allowed just one QB (Dak Prescott) to reach his season average, and even that took a slanted game script with the Cowboys falling behind by 21 early.
There’s a world in which we see Herbert lean into his athleticism and get us there as a result. We’ve seen him do it a few times this season (three games with 50+ rush yards), and with a variety of weapons for Philadelphia to keep tabs on, it’s possible.
I’m cautiously optimistic. The Bolts are going to have a better feel for what their QB can/can’t do than the opponent, and that has me thinking they have a scheme advantage.
That said, there’s more risk than normal with Herbert, and if you wanted to play a Sam Darnold or Bo Nix type over him, I wouldn’t blame you.
