Justin Herbert Totals Three Touchdowns in Clean Win Over Dallas

Sunday, December 21, 5:51 PM

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert completed 23 of his 29 pass attempts for 300 yards, two passing touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 16 win over the Dallas Cowboys. He also had eight rushing attempts, 42 rushing yards, and one rushing touchdown. Herbert put together a phenomenal fantasy performance with three total touchdowns and zero turnovers. He also made an impact on the ground and led the Chargers to a key win in the midst of the playoff hunt. After four consecutive games where Herbert was less than 100% due to injury, it was very encouraging to see him bounce back in such a huge way. After Sunday's big outing, managers should trust Herbert as a solid QB1 option heading into Week 17, despite facing off against a strong Houston Texans defense.

Quinn Ewers Starts Strong but Fades

Monday, December 22, 6:27 AM

Miami Dolphins quarterback Quinn Ewers finished with 260 passing yards, two interceptions, and no touchdowns in his first NFL start on Sunday against the Bengals. The seventh-round pick out of Texas started strong, completing 10 of 12 passes in the first half and leading two scoring drives in the first half. In the second half, though, the Dolphins fell apart and allowed 28 unanswered points, while Ewers threw a pair of interceptions. He is still in search of his first NFL touchdown, but he's expected to get another start in Week 17 when the Dolphins host the Buccaneers. The Dolphins seem ready to move on from Tua Tagovailoa, so Ewers will likely get an extended audition the rest of the season.
