From the episode

Justin Herbert, baby. The off season of Justin Herbert continues... I think this chargers offense is very scary. I think Justin Herbert comes out red hot and has a really great season.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalBreakout

Herbert is a breakout candidate due to McDaniel's scheme, a better O-line, and rushing upside.

Field Yates and Matthew Berry are in lockstep on Justin Herbert as a breakout candidate. Yates highlights the addition of head coach Mike McDaniel, a revamped offensive line (Joe Alt, Rashawn Slater), and the potential for 350-400 rushing yards. Berry notes that Herbert is higher than consensus in his rankings and expects him to come out red-hot with a favorable Week 1 matchup against Arizona.
