I expect him to bounce back in Week 2. The question is how much for fantasy purposes. The Raiders faced Malik Willis and the Dolphins in Week 1, so it's tough to take much away from the pass defense. Last year, Las Vegas allowed the ninth-highest passing success rate, the tenth-highest passer rating, and the tenth-most EPA per dropback.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Herbert's strong accuracy metrics suggest Week 2 bounce-back against Raiders' middling pass defense.

Herbert finished Week 1 as QB22 despite throwing for only 209 yards and one touchdown with one interception, but the source expects a bounce-back in Week 2. Despite offensive shortcomings, Herbert ranked 13th in yards per attempt, third-best in highly accurate throw rate, and seventh in catchable target rate among 32 qualifying passers. The Raiders' pass defense allowed the ninth-highest passing success rate, tenth-highest passer rating, and tenth-most EPA per dropback last year, making this a middle-of-the-road matchup at worst for Herbert.
