Justin Herbert Faces Vulnerable Jaguars Secondary, Remains a Mid-Range QB1

Friday, November 14, 5:02 PM

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert threw for 220 yards and one touchdown, while rushing five times for 19 yards in Sunday night's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Despite taking five sacks and taping both ankles during the game, he did not appear on this week's injury report. Next, the Chargers travel to face a Jacksonville Jaguars defense that has cooled down significantly, allowing the ninth-most passing yards and the fourth-most receiving touchdowns this season. While the Jaguars still have 12 interceptions on the season, any turnovers are more likely to be forced by Herbert's shaky protection due to the depleted and inconsistent offensive line play from Austin Deculus (34.9 PFF grade) and Mekhi Becton (40.6 PFF grade), rather than coverage. Herbert's ability to capitalize on a vulnerable defense and use his legs when feeling pressure makes him a confident mid-range QB1 this week, ranking as RotoBaller's QB5.
