Who Should I Start? Justin Herbert or Brock Purdy

Monday, November 18, 12:57 AM

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert had an up and down game in a Week 11 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Herbert was excellent in the first half before struggling in most of the second half but then turning it on for a game-winning drive at the end. In total, Herbert completed 17 of the 36 passes he attempted for 297 yards and two touchdowns. He did not throw an interception, but took two sacks and lost a fumble. On the ground, he added 65 yards on five carries, leading the team in rushing yards. The Chargers ended up with an important win, and will play again in eight days for Week 12's edition of Monday Night Football.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (shoulder) was limited during Wednesday's practice, according to Matt Barrows of The Athletic. The 24-year-old quarterback suffered an injury in his throwing shoulder during last Sunday's loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Fantasy managers should continue monitoring his progress throughout the week, but seeing him participate in practice early in the week is a promising sign of his availability this coming weekend. Even though Purdy threw for a season-low 159 yards last weekend, fantasy managers should still view him as a solid low-end QB1 heading into Week 12 facing the Green Bay Packers as he has averaged a strong 27.0 PPR points per game during Weeks 6 through 10.
