Justin Herbert Spectacular in Win Over Chiefs

Saturday, September 6, 12:46 AM

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert completed 25 of his 34 pass attempts for 318 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Friday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. He also took three sacks and rushed for 32 yards. The former first-round pick started off the 2025 season on the right foot, and there's no indication that he's slowing down anytime soon. If anything, his schedule only gets easier in the short term as the Chargers take on the Las Vegas Raiders next week. Herbert has quickly asserted himself as a strong QB1 option in fantasy football.

Brock Purdy News

49ers Not Optimistic Brock Purdy will Play in Week 3

Sunday, September 14, 9:24 AM

According to Adam Schefter, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is unlikely to play in Week 3 against the Arizona Cardinals. Purdy will be absent in Week 2 and it sounds like he'll miss multiple games due to a turf toe issue. There's a chance that Purdy misses as many as five games from this injury. Mac Jones will be under center in Week 2 and it sounds like he'll be drawing multiple starts. Jones doesn't offer a ton of upside, but has value in Superflex formats. It sounds like the 49ers are going to need to lean on him for at least two games.
