At QB I'm all in on Mr. Justin Herbert. After all, Herbert is one of just 10 QBs ever with multiple career seasons averaging north of 22 fantasy points per game...Ultimately, I'm betting on one of the most physically gifted QBs that the Shanahan-McDaniel system has ever seen making the most out of an offensive environment filled with playmakers and (finally) a healthy, badass offensive line.

Herbert's ceiling, health, and McDaniel scheme make him the Round 6 QB target.

The source is all in on Justin Herbert as the priority mid-round QB target in Round 6. Herbert is one of just 10 QBs ever with multiple career seasons averaging north of 22 fantasy points per game, has a 5,000-yard passing season to his name, and posted a QB10 finish in fantasy points per game last season aided by a career-high 498 rushing yards. Better health from the offensive line and Herbert himself (broke his left hand in Week 13), combined with an improved scheme courtesy of new OC Mike McDaniel, should lead to bigger things. Vegas has the Chargers ranked 12th in scoring entering 2026, and Herbert's +1000 MVP odds are tied for the third-best in the league. The source is betting on one of the most physically gifted QBs that the Shanahan-McDaniel system has ever seen making the most out of an offensive environment filled with playmakers and a healthy offensive line.
