Justin Herbert Listed On Week 18 Injury Report
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (shoulder) is listed on the team's Week 18 injury report with a left shoulder injury, but he was able to put in a full practice on Wednesday and should be fine to play in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Denver Broncos. The Bolts must win to keep the No. 5 seed in the AFC playoffs, which is much more favorable, so they shouldn't be resting any players in this contest. Herbert has thrown multiple touchdowns just once in his last five games and sits as the overall QB11 in fantasy points this year, but he'll be a midrange QB1 for fantasy managers in Week 18 with many teams potentially resting their starters. In Week 6 against the Broncos, he went 37-for-57 for 238 yards, no touchdowns and a pick.
Jan 5, 2023 • 12:48 AM | RotoBallerJustin Herbert Looking Better Ahead Of Week 4
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (ribs) continues to play through fractured rib cartilage, but he is progressing. The organization mentioned that they plan on being more aggressive with their play-calling in Week 4 against the Houston Texans. Clearly, they trust that Herbert is healthy enough that they don't need to limit their playbook. Fantasy managers should expect a strong outing from Herbert in Week 4. He'll play a winless Texans defense, so Herbert should be considered a strong QB1 for this one.
Oct 2, 2022 • 2:02 PM | RotoBallerJustin Herbert Taken Off Week 4 Injury Report
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (ribs) was taken off the final injury report for Week 4 against the Houston Texans and will play on Sunday. Herbert was limited in Wednesday's practice before being a full-go each of the last two days. The third-year signal-caller was a game-time decision in last week's blowout loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars due to fractured rib cartilage, but he appears to be recovering nicely and will not be leaving his fantasy managers with any doubt this weekend. He'll be without go-to receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) again, though, but in a matchup with the winless Texans, Herbert is an absolute must-start QB1 that is looking for a bounce-back performance.
Sep 30, 2022 • 10:32 PM | RotoBallerJustin Herbert Practicing In Full
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (ribs) took part in a full practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Herbert was a game-time decision in the Week 3 blowout loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, but he suited up and threw for under 300 yards with a touchdown and an interception. It looks as though he's improving and shouldn't be a question mark entering the Week 4 contest against the Houston Texans, and he could have receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) back for the first time since the season opener. The Texans defense has been pretty solid against opposing QBs so far this year, but Herbert will be a must-start QB1 for fantasy managers as long as he doesn't suffer any setbacks.
Sep 29, 2022 • 11:58 PM | RotoBallerJustin Herbert Plays Through Injury In Week 3 Loss
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert completed 25 of his 45 pass attempts for 297 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in a Week 3 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. He also added seven yards rushing on one carry and lost a fumble. Herbert's availability for the game was one of the day's biggest storylines as he is still recovering from a rib injury he sustained in Week 2. He decided to give it a go but was outperformed by second-year quarterback Trevor Lawrence. Still, Herbert managed some impressive completions, as he always does. Head coach Brandon Staley acknowledged after the game that Herbert's injury could linger for a while, but as long as he is on the field, he should continue to be started as a QB1 in fantasy lineups.
Sep 26, 2022 • 12:01 AM | RotoBallerJustin Herbert Active In Week 3
Correcting a previous report, Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (ribs) is listed as active for Week 3 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He had been listed as questionable. There had been some pregame speculation that the Chargers might be cautious and rest Herbert one more week, but it looks like he will try to play through the pain. The Chargers have three quarterbacks active this week (Herbert, Chase Daniel, and Easton Stick) in case Herbert can't play the whole game. He should still be viewed as a mid-range QB1 this week.
Sep 25, 2022 • 6:39 PM | RotoBallerJustin Herbert Inactive In Week 3
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (ribs) is inactive for Week 3 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Herbert had an opportunity to take painkillers and play through the injury, but it looks like he and the team will exercise caution by listing him as inactive this week. He was on the bench and did not participate in warmups. With Herbert sidelined, the Chargers will deploy Chase Daniel as their starter. Los Angeles' offensive weapons might see their fantasy value drop due to the downgrade at quarterback.
Sep 25, 2022 • 6:24 PM | RotoBallerChargers Want Justin Herbert To Consider Sitting Out
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (ribs) is pushing to play in Week 3 despite fracturing cartilage in his ribs last week. The medical staff has encouraged Herbert to take a long look before deciding on what to do. Herbert is debating on getting a pain-killing injection, which would likely allow him to suit up for Week 3. However, the organization doesn't want Herbert to suffer a longer injury by playing through the issue. It sounds like Herbert is leaning towards playing, but fantasy managers should check back before kickoff. The Chargers offense would take a significant hit, assuming Herbert is unable to suit up.
Sep 25, 2022 • 2:44 PM | RotoBallerJustin Herbert Considering Pain-Killer Injection
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (rib) is considering taking a pain-killing injection ahead of Week 3. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the signal-caller will make his decision in pre-game warmups. Just two years ago, then-Chargers quarterback Tyrod Taylor suffered a serious injury when a team doctor punctured his lung while injecting a pain-killer to address a similar rib injury. Evidently, there is risk associated with the injection, which is likely why Herbert is taking his decision up until gametime. If active, Herbert should be viewed as a mid-to-high QB1 in fantasy football.
Sep 25, 2022 • 12:44 PM | RotoBallerJustin Herbert Officially Questionable For Week 3
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (ribs) is officially listed as questionable to play in Week 3 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Backup Chase Daniel took first-team repetitions on Friday. Herbert was throwing on Tuesday, did individual drills on Wednesday and was spotted throwing on Thursday, which is great news. But the biggest question will be how functional the third-year QB will be if he's given the green light to play on Sunday. It's not a long-term injury, but it's a painful one. The plan is for the 24-year-old to work out before Sunday's game to determine if he'll be able to go, which puts fantasy managers in a bind with LA's game coming on the later slate of games this Sunday.
Sep 23, 2022 • 10:01 PM | RotoBallerJustin Herbert Throws On Thursday
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (ribs) was able to practice once again on Thursday. It was likely a limited session, but at least Herbert was able to get in some throwing. The organization is optimistic that Herbert will play against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. He's a strong QB1, assuming he's able to suit up. Otherwise, the Chargers offense is going to take a significant hit if Herbert is unable to play.
Sep 22, 2022 • 10:42 PM | RotoBallerJustin Herbert Listed As Day-To-Day
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (ribs) is "day-to-day," according to head coach Brandon Staley. Herbert did some throwing on Tuesday and also some "rotational" work. He'll take part in individual drills on Wednesday, according to Staley. According to ESPN's Lindsey Thiry, Herbert will be wearing a rib protector after injuring rib cartilage in the Week 2 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. The fact that the 24-year-old is already limited in practice this week is a good sign that he'll be able to play in Week 3 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Through two games, Herbert has thrown for 613 yards, six touchdowns and a pick on 82 attempts. If he's active this Sunday, he's a must-start, high-end QB1.
Sep 21, 2022 • 9:05 PM | RotoBallerJustin Herbert Has A Chance To Play In Week 3
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (ribs) has a chance of suiting up for Week 3, according to Ian Rapoport. The 24-year-old suffered fractured rib cartilage, but the team views it as more of a pain tolerance issue. The organization got good results back on their tests, so they believe Herbert can play through the issue. Herbert looked to be in obvious pain towards the end of their matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs. It remains to be seen if he can really play through this issue. Luckily for fantasy managers, the Chargers play the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 3. Herbert might be able to put together QB1 numbers with injured ribs against that secondary. However, fantasy managers should have a backup plan ready in case Herbert does struggle because of the ribs issue.
Sep 18, 2022 • 1:40 PM | RotoBallerJustin Herbert Has Fracture To Rib Cartilage
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (rib) is dealing with a fracture to his rib cartilage, according to head coach Brandon Staley, and he's being listed as day-to-day. Herbert gutted through a painful rib injury in Thursday night's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs and finished with 334 yards on 33-for-48 passing with three touchdowns and a costly pick-six. Staley didn't expect Herbert's injury to be a factor moving forward, but that remains to be seen, as Herbert was clearly battling a ton of pain at the end of the 27-24 loss. The good news is the Bolts don't play again until Sept. 25 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, but fantasy managers will have to monitor Herbert's status leading up to that Week 3 game.
Sep 16, 2022 • 9:11 PM | RotoBallerJustin Herbert's Rib X-Rays Were Negative
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (rib) avoided any broken bones following Thursday night's game. According to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, Herbert's X-rays came back negative. As a result, the third-string quarterback will undergo further testing. The injury clearly bothered Herbert in Week 2, but he only missed one offensive snap. Los Angeles doesn't play again until next Sunday, giving Herbert 10 days to recover. Still, fantasy managers should monitor his status going forward in case he does have to miss time. Chase Daniel is the Chargers' current backup quarterback.
Sep 16, 2022 • 6:10 PM | RotoBallerJustin Herbert Will Undergo More Tests On Injured Ribs
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (ribs) will undergo more tests on his injured ribs Friday. According to head coach Brandon Staley, the star quarterback is "OK" after the quarterback sustained an injury late in Thursday night's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. The severity of Herbert's injury will be known after he undergoes further evaluation. The 24-year-old completed 33-of-48 passes for 334 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception in the Week 2 loss to the Chiefs. Herbert will have a few extra days to recover, but his status for Week 3 against the Jacksonville Jaguars is up in the air for now. Stay tuned.
Sep 16, 2022 • 12:42 PM | RotoBallerJustin Herbert's Injury Doesn't Sound Significant
Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley told reporters that Justin Herbert (abdomen) is "OK" after the quarterback sustained an injury late in Thursday night's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Herbert took a couple of big but clean hits in the fourth quarter and was clearly in pain for the team's final two drives before heading to the X-ray room immediately after the game. Staley also added that more information on Herbert's status would be available on Friday, but that he doesn't expect the injury to be of much concern going forward. Luckily, Herbert will have a long week to recover before a Week 3 matchup next Sunday with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Sep 16, 2022 • 4:50 AM | RotoBallerJustin Herbert Shines In Week 2 Loss, Sustains Injury Late
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert was excellent for fantasy yet again in Thursday night's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, completing 33 of 48 pass attempts for 334 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception. The interception was a costly one as it was thrown at the Chiefs' three yard line and returned for a touchdown that gave Kansas City the lead in the fourth quarter. Herbert also took a few hits late in the game, suffering an apparent rib injury that even forced him to miss a play. Luckily, Herbert came back in and, despite being visibly in pain, led the Chargers on an impressive drive that resulted in a touchdown pass to Joshua Palmer. Herbert is expected to have x-rays completed immediately and fantasy managers should closely monitor his status for Week 3. Obviously, if healthy, he will continue to be a must-start fantasy option every week.
