Who Should I Start? Justin Herbert or Jayden Daniels

Thursday, December 19, 11:27 PM

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert played well in a 34-27 win over the Denver Broncos in Week 16. Herbert was decent in the first half and then really turned it on in the second half. In total, he completed 23 of his 31 passes for 284 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. Herbert also added 28 yards on the ground on eight carries despite clearly not being 100% with his wrapped up ankle. Herbert completed passes to 10 different receivers and threw his touchdowns to Hassan Haskins and Derius Davis. The Chargers will have a little extra time to rest and heal and will take on the New England Patriots in Week 17.

Washington Commanders rookie quarterback should be viewed as a QB1 in Week 16 despite the tough matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Last weekend, in their victory over the New Orleans Saints, Daniels went 25-for-31 for 226 yards and two passing scores. He added 66 yards on 11 rushing attempts. During Weeks 12 and 13, Daniels averaged an impressive 29.5 PPR points per game, scoring seven touchdowns over this span. Daniels has thrown at least two passing touchdowns in each of his past three games. Given his elite rushing upside, fantasy managers should always consider him a must-start option. This weekend, he will have a rematch against a tough Philadelphia defense that has allowed the second-fewest PPR points to opposing quarterbacks this season. Even though the last time he faced them, he scored only 15.4 PPR points, he should always be locked into all lineups.
