Mattek Fantasy Football on Justin Herbert

Best situation of career with McDaniel; rushing upside could unlock fantasy ceiling

Herbert is in the best situation of his career with new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel, surrounded by first-round playmakers. Mattek says 'if you are a big Justin Herbert guy, this is your year' and recommends targeting him in every draft, though slightly preferring Mahomes. Herbert showed rushing upside last year with multiple games over 7 rushing attempts (including 10 for 66 and 8 for 42), which could be the 'final skeleton key' for his fantasy ceiling. He also gets a lot of indoor dome games which tends to drive scoring.
