From the episode

Justin Herbert. No jokes. Like, all jokes aside, but that says QB21, Matthew. So what are we doing with him? We're closing it out, obviously.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Herbert at QB21; close him out—unfavorable Seattle matchup, weak rushing volume, poor OL.

Matthew Berry ranks Justin Herbert QB21 for the week and strongly recommends closing him out. Despite going QB7-QB8 in drafts, Herbert has underperformed; Berry notes that if you're 2-1 or 3-0 in your league, you've done it despite Herbert, not because of him. The matchup at Seattle is unfavorable: Seahawks are fourth in pressure rate, allow league-low 5 yards per pass attempt, and McDonald's defense is elite. Herbert's rushing volume has dried up (17 yards last week), and the Chargers' interior offensive line is struggling.
