Justin Herbert Nightmare Season Could Get Worse in Week 4 vs. Seahawks

Saturday, October 3, 5:12 AM

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert has had a rough start to his 2026 campaign and will face his toughest defense yet on Sunday. In three games, Herbert has yet to throw for over 250 passing yards or multiple touchdown passes in a single game. Herbert and the Chargers will head to Seattle to face the reigning Super Bowl champions, who have the league's most feared defense. The Seahawks' defense has allowed the fewest passing yards while forcing the most interceptions (4) this season. As a result, Herbert enters Week 4 as RotoBaller's QB26 and shouldn't be in fantasy lineups. Herbert has yet to surpass 15 fantasy points in a game this year and has thrown more interceptions than touchdown passes. The 28-year-old is a risky superflex play at best, and better quarterback streaming options are available on the waiver wire in Week 4.

Malik Willis Is Only an Option in the Deepest Leagues

Saturday, October 3, 2:51 AM

Miami Dolphins quarterback Malik Willis is in a tough road matchup this week against the Minnesota Vikings, and he'll be without star RB De'Von Achane (knee) and starting receiver Caleb Douglas (ankle). Willis has only thrown one touchdown in his three games this season, while averaging 209 passing yards per game and completing 57% of his passes. He has added some value on the ground, running for 101 yards and another touchdown in three games, but the Dolphins' offense ranks last in the NFL in points per game and sixth-worst in yards per game. Without Achane, Willis may have to run more and could carry enough value to be a fringe starter in two-QB leagues in some matchups this season. Week 4's matchup against the Vikings is a very tough one, though, so he ranks 29th in RotoBaller's QB rankings for Week 4. He should be left on the bench if possible this week and only started in desperation, even in leagues that require multiple QBs.
