News: 6 days agoHerbert completed 15 of 27 passes for 192 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions while adding three carries for two yards in the Chargers' 26-14 loss to the Raiders on Sunday. He also committed three fumbles, with Herbert recovering one and the other two also staying with Los Angeles.

Spin: Herbert's stat line tells the tale of an ugly and alarming Week 2 loss for the Chargers in which Herbert was constantly harassed and took three sacks in addition to tossing his pair of picks. The embattled signal-caller did connect with nine different targets overall, but no Bolts pass catcher had more than three receptions or 53 receiving yards. Herbert has completed just 59.3 percent of his passes over the first two games, and he'll have plenty of pressure on his shoulders for a suddenly critical Week 3 road matchup against the Bills next Sunday.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Herbert enters his seventh NFL season following a solid 2025 campaign in which he ranked just inside the top 10 quarterbacks in pass attempts, yards and touchdowns. Herbert added serious value with his legs, ranking fifth at the position in carries and second in rushing yards (career highs in both). He finished 10th among quarterbacks in fantasy points, but that's a bit misleading, as his inconsistent production led to five top-five weeks but no other finishes better than 13th. Herbert has finished between 11th and 15th in fantasy points per game in each of the past four seasons, though it's fair to expect a leap forward in 2026 with star tackles Joe Alt and Rashawn Slater healthy and a new playcaller in Mike McDaniel. Herbert is safest as a QB2, but there's upside for more.
