Positive signalProjection

Herbert's rushing upside and healthier OL support elite QB ceiling in 2026.

Herbert finished 2025 as QB10 in PPG largely due to rushing production (6th in rushing yards per game at 31.1 yards), hitting career highs in rushing yards and carries while tying Josh Allen for most boom finishes (4). With a healthier offensive line in 2026, Herbert can flirt with elite fantasy QB status. In five games with Joe Alt in 2025, Herbert averaged 23.9 PPG; in twelve games without Alt, he averaged 16.2 PPG. With Mike McDaniel as the new offensive coordinator, a revamped interior offensive line (Tyler Biadasz, Cole Strange, Jake Slaughter), 12-personnel deployment with tight ends, and a favorable schedule improving from 13th to 21st (29th in projected strength of schedule), Herbert's ceiling is sky-high. The source is willing to pull the trigger on Herbert in Round 7 or 8 if he falls, and is very much into him in Superflex 2QB formats.
