Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert had his worst game of the season, completing 22 of 29 passes for 166 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in the team's 27-10 loss to the Washington Commanders. The offense looked disorganized, burdened by costly penalties and sloppy play for most of the afternoon. Herbert also led the team in rushing with four carries for 60 yards, showing how often he was pressured behind a depleted offensive line. Herbert has been hit 35 times in the last three games, as a wave of injuries on the offensive line continues to mount. As the team prepares for Week 6 against a struggling Miami Dolphins defense, the Chargers might need to rely more on the passing game since they just placed rookie running back Omarion Hampton (ankle) on IR. Herbert should have a chance to bounce back if his offensive line can give him some protection.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler finally notched his first career win as a starter in Week 5 against the Giants, completing 21-of-31 passes for 225 yards and a touchdown. After averaging just 5.2 yards per attempt through the first four weeks, he finally connected deep with Rashid Shaheed for an 87-yard touchdown in the second quarter. It wasn't a complete shift in play style, but it was a positive sign for the young quarterback. Despite the Saints sitting at 1-4, Rattler looks locked in as the team's starter moving forward. He enters Week 6 as a QB2 with upside against a Patriots defense allowing 242.2 passing yards per game.
