Is Justin Herbert a Top-10 QB Moving Forward?

Tuesday, September 16, 4:41 PM

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert looked sharp in Monday night's 20-9 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. He completed 19-of-27 passes for 242 yards and two touchdowns, while adding 31 rushing yards on nine carries. Herbert again appeared poised and confident, demonstrating good pocket awareness and using his legs when necessary. In Week 3, he faces a tough Denver Broncos defense. Denver has elite talent, but they just allowed 29 points to the Indianapolis Colts. Herbert and OC Greg Roman should find ways to exploit weaknesses even in a challenging matchup. Fantasy managers shouldn't hesitate, as he remains a safe top-10 QB option.

Spencer Rattler Surges Onto Fantasy Radar with Three-Touchdown Game

Monday, September 15, 12:47 AM

New Orleans Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler completed 25 of 34 pass attempts for 207 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 2 contest against the San Francisco 49ers. He also took three sacks and rushed for 14 yards. While Rattler finished with relatively modest passing yardage, his three touchdowns kept the Saints in the game against San Francisco and also resulted in a very solid fantasy performance. It's evident that New Orleans will be playing from behind in plenty of games this year, but Rattler is still able to play clean football and keep New Orleans competitive for a full 60 minutes. These two factors, along with his clearly demonstrated ability to throw for touchdowns, makes him a very intriguing waiver wire option. Fantasy managers dealing with injuries or underwhelming production at the quarterback position should feel inclined to place a claim or bid on Rattler, especially ahead of his Week 3 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks, who have allowed 421 passing yards and four total touchdowns to quarterbacks over the last two weeks combined.
