From the episode

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Herbert is primed for a career-best season under Mike McDaniel.

Justin Herbert is a prime target for a career-best fantasy season under Mike McDaniel. He has a high floor, having finished lower than QB13 in points per game only once in his career. His increased usage of his legs last year adds to his fantasy appeal.
