RotoWire NFL Articles on Justin Herbert

Justin Herbert's healthy line, Mike McDaniel hire, and 22+ PPG upside make him the best QB value.

ADP QB9 has proven 22-plus fantasy point upside and could find himself in a vastly superior offensive environment thanks to a healthy offensive line (returns of Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt) and the addition of OC Mike McDaniel in 2026. Source identifies Herbert as the single best value chip at QB cost, noting the 28-year-old ran for a career-high 498 yards in 2025 while navigating behind a banged-up offensive line. McDaniel's track record of making more with less at QB (continuing the Shanahan way) suggests massive MVP-level breakout potential.
