Justin Herbert Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Chargers QB Justin Herbert was excellent in Friday night's win over the Chiefs. He completed 25 of 34 passes (73.5%) for 318 yards (9.4 YPA), 3 TDs, and 0 INTs. Herbert's high-end arm talent was on display throughout the contest. And he reminded us that he's a plus athlete, running seven times for 32 yards. Herbert also had a 22-yard run called back by a holding penalty.

Chargers LT Rashawn Slater was carted off the field with a leg injury on Thursday, and according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, suffered a ruptured patella tendon, ending his season.

In an appearance on The Dan Patrick Show, Chargers QB Justin Herbert stressed the importance of using his legs to extend plays–something he believes the team must emphasize this upcoming season.

Chargers QB Justin Herbert threw for 284 yards and a pair of TDs in Thursday night's win over the Broncos. The yards were his most since Week 11. Herbert completed 23 of 31 passes (74%) and averaged 9.2 yards per attempt against a quality Denver defense. Most importantly, he looked healthy again after suffering ankle and thigh injuries in Week 14. Herbert was mobile inside the pocket and ran for 28 yards on eight carries.

Chargers QB Justin Herbert (ankle, thigh) is not listed on the final injury report for Sunday’s game vs. the Buccaneers. He went from no practice on Wednesday to limited participation on Thursday to full participation on Friday. There’s still a chance that Herbert’s mobility is limited, but he’s a fine QB1 play against Tampa Bay’s 32nd-ranked QB defense.

Chargers QB Justin Herbert (ankle, thigh) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. He's on track to play vs. the Buccaneers this weekend, although it'd be nice to see him get in a full practice on Friday.

Chargers QB Justin Herbert (ankle, thigh) did not practice on Wednesday. He missed just one snap after getting banged up in the second quarter of last week's loss to the Chiefs, so Herbert should be ready for this weekend's game vs. the Buccaneers. We'll keep you posted on his status over the next few days.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (knee, shoulder) is inactive for tonight’s game vs. the Chiefs. That removes the team’s leader in targets, catches, and receiving yards, hurting QB Justin Herbert's fantasy outlook. We’re expecting WR Josh Palmer to kick inside for more slot snaps with McConkey out. WRs Jalen Reagor, Derius Davis, and D.J. Chark are candidates to pick up more snaps. TE Will Dissly could also see more targets without McConkey roaming the middle of the field.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey is "in doubt" for Sunday night's game vs. the Chiefs, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. McConkey suffered a knee sprain in the Week 13 win over the Falcons, in addition to the AC joint sprain in his shoulder that he's been playing through, per Rapoport. Neither is a "major injury," Rapoport adds. We'll track McConkey's status over the next few days, but fantasy owners should at least be lining up alternatives for Week 14. McConkey's absence would be a big loss for the Chargers. He leads the team in targets (81), catches (58), and receiving yards (815).

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey went off for 9 catches and 117 yards in Sunday's win over Atlanta. The rookie saw a team-high 12 targets.

Chargers QB Justin Herbert started hot in Sunday night's win over the Bengals. He completed 10 of 14 passes for 183 yards and 2 TDs before halftime, adding 58 yards on 4 rushes. The second half went quite differently, though. Herbert completed only seven of 22 attempts for 104 more yards, plus a 7-yard carry. The result, at least, was his fourth straight game with 2 total TDs and his fourth game among the past five with at least 279 passing yards.

Chargers QB Justin Herbert (ankle) is active for today’s game against the Chiefs. He was limited in practice all week after aggravating his high-ankle sprain in last week’s loss to the Steelers. Herbert will be without starting OTs Joe Alt and Rashawn Slater today and isn’t a recommended starter in any fantasy formats.

Chargers QB Justin Herbert (ankle) is expected to start Sunday's game vs. the Chiefs, "barring a pregame setback," according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Herbert will play through his high-ankle sprain for the second straight week, despite getting pulled early in the loss to the Steelers. He'll be without starting OTs Joe Alt and Rashawn Slater this weekend. Herbert sits outside the top 25 QBs in our Week 4 Rankings.

Chargers QB Justin Herbert (ankle) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Chiefs. He was limited in practice all week. Herbert is pushing to play in this one, but the team could opt to hold him out with a Week 5 bye upcoming. We’ll keep you posted on the situation, but Herbert won’t be a recommended fantasy play even if he suits up on Sunday.

Chargers QB Justin Herbert (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice. He's pushing to play vs. the Chiefs this weekend. We'll see if the team clears him to do so. Herbert will barely be a QB2 if he tries to again play through this high-ankle sprain.
