From the episode

Yeah, this is less about Justin Herbert, to be honest. It's more about the health of Lad McConkie, who's currently day-to-day with a rib injury. Trevor actually had a great post after Sunday's game that highlighted how much worse the Chargers offense was when Lad was off the field in week one.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Bench Herbert; McConkie's rib injury limits Chargers offense; Raiders D improved.

The source recommends benching Herbert this week, not because of his arm talent but because of the health of left tackle Lad McConkie, who is day-to-day with a rib injury. The Chargers offense was atrocious when McConkie was off the field in week one, and even if he returns, he will likely be limited. Additionally, the Raiders defense, which added N'Kobe Dean, Quay Walker, Quiddy Pay, and rookie Trayden Stukes at safety around Max Crosby, looked great in week one. The source suggests streaming other quarterbacks over Herbert.
