Who Should I Start? Justin Herbert or Anthony Richardson Sr.

Monday, October 6, 5:40 PM

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert had his worst game of the season, completing 22 of 29 passes for 166 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in the team's 27-10 loss to the Washington Commanders. The offense looked disorganized, burdened by costly penalties and sloppy play for most of the afternoon. Herbert also led the team in rushing with four carries for 60 yards, showing how often he was pressured behind a depleted offensive line. Herbert has been hit 35 times in the last three games, as a wave of injuries on the offensive line continues to mount. As the team prepares for Week 6 against a struggling Miami Dolphins defense, the Chargers might need to rely more on the passing game since they just placed rookie running back Omarion Hampton (ankle) on IR. Herbert should have a chance to bounce back if his offensive line can give him some protection.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr. has appeared in just two games so far this season, both times in mop-up duty at the end of blowout victories. The 23-year-old is firmly behind Daniel Jones on the quarterback depth chart in Indianapolis due to how well Jones has played through five games. In his first season with the Colts, Jones has completed 71.3% of his pass attempts for 1,290 yards and six touchdowns, adding three rushing touchdowns as well. Richardson Sr.'s dual-threat ability gives him major fantasy upside if he ever gets another chance to start, but for now, he remains an injury to Jones away from playing time.
