BALLER MOVE: Bench in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: QB2
ANALYSIS: Justin Herbert should be considered a QB2 option this week in fantasy football as he faces a challenging matchup against the Browns’ defense.
While he appears to be finding his rhythm, with recent performances of 279 yards and two touchdowns last week and an impressive 349-yard game the week prior, Cleveland’s defense poses a significant obstacle.
The Browns have been one of the toughest teams against the pass this season, applying pressure on quarterbacks and limiting big plays downfield.
Herbert’s improved form is promising, but this week’s matchup limits his upside, making him a risky start for fantasy managers seeking higher, more consistent QB1 numbers. For now, fantasy managers are wise to keep Herbert on the bench, especially in leagues with alternative QB1 options.
INSANE: Justin Herbert stiff-armed a 270-
pound d-lineman and while falling backwards threw an absolute dime.🤯
One of the best plays, you’ll see all season. A MAN AMONGST BOYS TYPE OF PLAY.
