Every Friday at 3 p.m. ET, Steve Buchanan and Meghan Townsley chop up the latest injury news on Injury Report Live! Check out what they think about this latest injury to Justin Herbert ($5,500).
The Chargers quarterback left last week’s game against the Steelers in a walking boot. However, he currently has a shot at playing the Chiefs on Sunday.
On Friday’s edition of Injury Report Live, Meghan (@mtownsleyy) and Steve (@SBuchanan24) expressed some serious concern about starting Herbert in DFS and season-long fantasy formats.
- Steve says “there is no way” he is putting Herbert in any of his lineups. An injury-ravaged offensive line trying to block Chris Jones is a recipe for disaster.
- When Herbert was under heavy pressure last year, he struggled (six of seven INTs under pressure in 2023).
- Other options to start at QB over Herbert include: Justin Fields ($5,500), Caleb Williams ($5,600), or even Andy Dalton ($5,300).
- Even if he was fully healthy, Herbert wouldn’t be throwing the ball much in Jim Harbaugh’s run-first offense.
