Justin Herbert News

Justin Herbert is on QB2 Radar for Week 10

Saturday, November 14, 5:07 PM

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is hopeful for better results this weekend after struggling in recent weeks. Last week, Herbert threw for 193 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the loss to the Houston Texans. The 28-year-old has one passing touchdown over his last three games. It has been an awful season for Herbert, but he still has time to turn it around. The good news, Herbert does have a plus matchup against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 10. A defense that ranks 23rd in the league in pass defense this season. Herbert has struggled even in favorable situations this season, but maybe he'll figure it out on Monday Night. He ranks as the QB24 in RotoBaller rankings for Week 10. He's on the QB2 radar, but is better off left on the bench in most fantasy formats.

Michael Penix Jr. News

Michael Penix Jr. Scuffling Heading into Showdown with Kansas City

Saturday, November 14, 5:40 AM

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. began the season with a 9:1 TD:INT over his first five games, but has since thrown just one touchdown and five interceptions over the last two contests. The former first-rounder has failed to go over 200 yards passing in either of those games, and hasn't topped 256 yards all season, although two three-touchdown performances have shown what he is capable of. After two down performances, the 6-foot-3 quarterback out of Washington will look to get back on track in Week 10, though a home matchup against the Chiefs awaits. Kansas City is middle of the road in terms of passing yards allowed per game (223.8), but is allowing the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing signal callers, with just seven passing TDs surrendered so far through eight games. On the bright side, the defense ranks near the bottom in terms of sacks per game (1.3), which could allow Penix some time to find an open receiver, but with a ranking of QB23 this week at RotoBaller, there are likely streaming options in better environments for Week 10.
