Justin Herbert Leads Chargers to Big Victory on Thursday Night Football

Friday, October 24, 12:11 AM

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert completed 18 of his 25 pass attempts for 227 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception during Thursday's Week 8 win over the Minnesota Vikings. He also took two sacks and rushed for a season-high 62 yards. Herbert has been an effective fantasy quarterback all season long, but he has truly taken his game to the next level over the last three weeks. During that span, he has a total of eight touchdowns. He does have three interceptions in that timeframe as well, but fantasy managers will tolerate the slight uptick in turnovers if he continues to throw to the end zone at such a high success rate. Herbert will continue to rank as a mid-range QB1 heading into a very favorable Week 9 matchup against the Tennessee Titans.

Jaxson Dart a Must-Start Quarterback in Week 8?

Saturday, October 25, 12:21 PM

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart has been a dynamic player since taking over as his team's starter in Week 4. Across six games (four starts) this season, Dart has completed 60.2% of his pass attempts for 791 yards, seven touchdowns, and three interceptions. He's been most impressive with his legs, rushing for 178 yards and three touchdowns on 37 attempts. Dart and the Giants will travel to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles in Week 8, which marks the second time in the last three weeks that these two teams will square off. Dart played well in his first game against Philadelphia, recording 253 total yards and two touchdowns. However, it's worth noting that the Eagles played the entire game without star defensive lineman Jalen Carter and most of the game without top cornerback Quinyon Mitchell, both of whom will be active in Week 8. Dart's rushing ability gives him a safe fantasy floor, but he may have a difficult time as a passer in a tough road matchup. He profiles as a borderline fantasy QB1 in Week 8 against the Eagles.
