Transcript

00:00We have a quarterback against a seemingly soft secondary.

00:03I don't think people, when they look at the team itself,

00:05think that the secondary can be had, but let's talk.

00:09No, they can be had all day, all evening.

00:12It doesn't matter when you're playing the Ravens,

00:13they can be had.

00:14And Justin Herbert is QB 16 on the year

00:17for fantasy purposes,

00:19but he is a top five quarterback option this week.

00:22The expert consensus rankings on fantasy pros have him there

00:25and rightfully so.

00:26You're seeing them start to open things up

00:28in the last few weeks.

00:29And that's been a good thing here.

00:30297 yards against Cincinnati Bengals,

00:33another secondary is not very good.

00:34And now they get another matchup against Baltimore,

00:36also not very good.

00:37And if you look at the numbers here coming out of the bye

00:40against the Denver Broncos defense on the road,

00:43only 237 yards for Justin Herbert.

00:45However, against Arizona 349, New Orleans 279,

00:49Cleveland 282.

00:50Again, different game script against Tennessee, only 164,

00:53but then back up to 297 against Baltimore.

00:56We're gonna talk more about his over later,

00:58but Justin Herbert,

00:59a guy that if you're looking for a quarterback to stream

01:01this week,

01:02because you've got bye weeks coming up right now,

01:04this is the guy to get.

01:05And if you're looking ahead to the schedule too,

01:07Atlanta, another team you can throw on,

01:09then Casey, a tougher matchup,

01:10but then you get Tampa,

01:11another team that's given up a ton of yards

01:14through the air this year.

01:15So if you're looking ahead here,

01:17Justin Herbert is a guy that can help get you

01:18into the playoffs and through that first round, I think.

01:20So Bo Nix, Herbert,

01:22those are a couple of quarterbacks that,

01:24you know,

01:25weren't drafted in single quarterback leagues

01:26and rightfully so.

01:28But between the injuries,

01:29the guys like Dak Prescott and some of the play

01:30that's been a little underwhelming,

01:32this is the situation you're in right now.

01:34And there's been some guys that have really performed

01:36in the last six weeks as QB ones

01:38that you need to pay more attention to.

01:40Some of those starts that I mentioned, by the way,

01:42he has finished in the last four weeks as a QB one,

01:45QB nine, 12, eight, and eight back-to-back weeks.

01:48So this is a guy that's really starting to put together

01:50this offense,

01:52starting in a little bit more comfortable in it.

01:54And I think, you know,

01:55the way you attack those Baltimore Ravens is very simple.

01:58Not run the football.

01:59We know John wants to run the,

02:00Jim wants to run the football against his brother, John.

02:03They want to run the ball all day long.

02:04But I think Herbert right now,

02:06you're going to see a lot more airing out of the football

02:08against Baltimore Ravens,

02:09because that is how you attack them.

02:11And they don't have an answer for it.

02:12So Herbert is definitely a guy you want to get

02:14in DFS lineups.

02:15Look at the overs.

02:16We'll talk more about that in our two,

02:17but Herbert has a great matchup this week.

02:19I think he's going to put up some big stats,

02:20maybe even push to that 300 yard mark again,

02:22like last week.
