Justin Herbert News
Sunday, September 20, 7:25 PM
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert went 15-for-27 for 192 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions in his team's devastating 26-14 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. Herbert also had three carries for two yards while putting the ball on the turf three times, but it didn't result in any turnovers. The panic meter has spiked for the Chargers after dropping to 0-2 after being heavy favorites to open the year. To make matters worse, the team is gearing up to face the hardest seven-game stretch and likely will not be the favorite in a matchup until they face the New York Jets in Week 11. Through two weeks, Herbert is 32-for-54 (59%) for 401 yards, two touchdowns, three interceptions, and is outside the top 20 quarterbacks in fantasy points. Herbert and the Chargers will attempt to get their season on track at Buffalo in Week 3.

Jaxson Dart News
Tuesday, September 22, 10:47 AM
An MRI exam on New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart (knee) showed a left-knee injury more severe than anticipated, sources told the NFL Network's Mike Garafolo and Ian Rapoport. Dart will now miss an extended period of time and possibly the rest of the 2026 season. This is devastating news for the Giants and the 23-year-old former first-rounder after a report surfaced Monday night that he might only be dealing with an MCL sprain. Dart injured his knee on the very first offensive drive in Monday night's loss to the Los Angeles Rams and reportedly tried to convince the team to let him return to the contest. Veteran Jameis Winston took over for Dart and was not able to do much on offense in the 28-6 loss. Until we know more specifics on Dart's knee injury, fantasy managers will want to hold him in hopes that he can return later this year. Dart's injury will definitely hurt the fantasy upside of New York's pass-catchers, including receivers Malik Nabers, Darnell Mooney, and Malachi Fields, and tight end Isaiah Likely. Winston has become a high-priority waiver-wire target going into Week 3 in two-QB superflex leagues.
