Footballguys on Justin Herbert
From the article
The Chargers brought in Mike McDaniel as offensive coordinator this offseason, and Herbert is the most talented quarterback McDaniel has had to work with in that role. In 2021, McDaniel made Jimmy Garoppolo relevant, so the theory here is imagine what he can do with Justin Herbert. Arizona's defense was one of the worst in the league last year, allowing nearly 29 points per game and ranking near the bottom against the pass.
STACKED’s take
Herbert's value elevated by McDaniel's scheme and Arizona's weak pass defense.
Herbert is one of the better values at quarterback at $7,600 with Mike McDaniel as the new offensive coordinator. McDaniel is the most talented quarterback Herbert has had to work with in that role; in 2021, McDaniel made Jimmy Garoppolo relevant, suggesting significant upside with Herbert's superior talent. Arizona's defense was one of the worst in the league last year, allowing nearly 29 points per game and ranking near the bottom against the pass, surrendering the sixth most passing touchdowns in football. Los Angeles is favored by more than a touchdown at home, and Herbert's rushing upside combined with the sheer size of this matchup edge make him a strong value despite some garbage time risk if the Chargers pull away.
