Justin Herbert - Week 9 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Fantasy Football Picks

Justin Herbert - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

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.

However, Herbert’s recent performances suggest that he could soon return to must-start status, especially if he continues to develop chemistry with his receivers and improve his efficiency. His progression should be monitored closely, as softer matchups later in the season could see him return to QB1 production.

This week, however, Herbert’s value is capped, making him better suited for QB2 or superflex formats rather than as a primary starter.
