Justin Herbert News

Justin Herbert Poised for Career Year Following Coaching Changes in Los Angeles?

Friday, September 4, 12:19 PM

Across 16 games in 2025, Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert completed 66.4% of his pass attempts for 3,727 yards, 26 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions. The 28-year-old also rushed for a career-high 498 yards and two touchdowns on 83 attempts, which helped him finish the year as the fantasy QB10 in both overall and per-game scoring. Entering 2026, there's reason to believe Herbert could be well-positioned to top 4,000 passing yards for the first time since 2022. The Chargers have a new offensive coordinator in former Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel, who should help open up the offense with more explosive plays down the field. Herbert also has a much healthier offensive line in front of him and an extremely talented group of offensive weapons to throw the ball to. As long as he stays healthy, Herbert has a chance to put together his most productive statistical season since 2021, when he threw for 5,014 yards and 35 touchdowns.

Tanner McKee News

Recent Trade Not Indicative of Tanner McKee's Market

Sunday, March 22, 7:13 AM

The Philadelphia Eagles' acquisition of veteran quarterback Andy Dalton does not appear indicative of the trade market for quarterback Tanner McKee, according to Brooks Kubena of The Athletic. While previous reporting suggested McKee might be available for trade, Kubena notes that the addition of Dalton is not an "immediate step" toward another move. It remains to be seen how this entire situation will unfold as the offseason continues. The NFL Draft is a popular time for backup quarterback trades, so we can't rule out the possibility of McKee still being dealt within the next month or so. He has flashed upside at times in Philadelphia, starting the Eagles' Week 18 game in each of the last two seasons. During his start this past year, he completed 21 of 40 pass attempts for 241 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Among all of McKee's suitors, the Jets have been discussed the most. New York is still looking for a backup to Geno Smith.
