Justin Herbert Totals Three Touchdowns in Win Against Tennessee

Sunday, November 2, 7:11 PM

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert completed 19 of his 29 pass attempts for 250 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception during Sunday's Week 9 victory over the Tennessee Titans. He also had nine rushing attempts for an additional 57 yards and one touchdown on the ground. Tennessee made a bid for the upset early, but Herbert and company kept the score close and ultimately pulled ahead. The 27-year-old quarterback now has 11 total touchdowns and four turnovers over his last four games, cementing himself as a top-five signal-caller in fantasy football. He should be started in all leagues despite next week's matchup against a surging Pittsburgh Steelers defense.

Tyler Shough News

Tyler Shough Era Begins in New Orleans

Saturday, November 1, 10:31 AM

New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough took over for Spencer Rattler in the third quarter of the blowout loss to the Buccaneers, and head coach Kellen Moore will roll with the rookie for the rest of the season. In limited action thus far, Shough has completed 17 of 32 passes for 128 yards and an interception. Listed at 6-foot-5 and 219 pounds, he offers plenty of arm strength and averaged 9.7 yards per attempt last season at Louisville, highlighting his ability to attack downfield. While he offers little rushing upside, Moore said the team is "not looking back," so expect Shough to let it rip. He's a back-end QB2 or Superflex option against a tough Rams defense.
