Who Should I Start? Justin Herbert or C.J. Stroud

Tuesday, November 18, 12:33 AM

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert had his worst performance of the season in the team's 35-6 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, completing just 10 of 18 passes for 81 yards and an interception before being pulled from the game in the second half. It was the first game this season without a passing touchdown for him, and only the eighth in his career. Herbert led the team in rushing with 21 yards, highlighting the offense's overall inefficiency. The Chargers managed only eight first downs, held the ball for just 22 minutes, and reached the red zone only once. Herbert was constantly under pressure behind an injured, overmatched offensive line that has now allowed 35 sacks this season. He was briefly evaluated for a concussion at the end of the first half after a sack, but returned to start the second half. Herbert and the Bolts get a much-needed bye in Week 12.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) will miss Thursday night's matchup against the Buffalo Bills, but is expected to return in Week 13 against the Indianapolis Colts, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Stroud won't be able to suit up with a short week of preparation, but the extra time off will ensure that the 24-year-old will be cleared and ready to roll for a big divisional matchup against the Colts in Week 13. Backup Davis Mills will make his third straight start, and he's been solid in Stroud's absence, completing 60% of his passes for 726 yards with three touchdowns and one interception. Mills is only worth starter consideration in superflex leagues for Week 12.
