Yahoo Fantasy Football on Justin Herbert

Herbert's improved protection and Cardinals' weak defense set up ceiling upside in Week 1.

Herbert should have an easier time staying clean in 2026 with tackles Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt in the fold after being pressured a league-high 288 times in 2025. Against the Cardinals specifically, Herbert faces a shaky defense that ranked 26th in pressure rate (31.6%) last year, didn't upgrade edge rush, and surrendered 30.75 points per game during preseason, giving him plenty of time to pick apart Arizona.
