Justin Herbert is the ex best quarterback in the NFL. Where would you put him? 12th or 13th... It's kind of wild to think the 12th best quarterback in the league could be playing as poorly as he is right now

12th-best QB talent playing far worse than ability suggests; concerning fantasy option

Justin Herbert is ranked 12th or 13th among NFL quarterbacks in talent when all contextual factors (offensive line, pass catchers) are held equal, yet he is currently playing significantly below that level. The source notes that while Herbert has been hampered by poor circumstances, his on-field performance has been notably poor relative to his underlying skill, making him a concerning fantasy option despite his talent ceiling. In a franchise quarterback selection exercise, the source chose Herbert over Sam Darnold, Jaylen Hertz, Tyler Shuck, and Bryce Young, though with hesitation after Young's recent performance shift.
