Yahoo Fantasy Football - Josh & Hayden on Justin Herbert

VideoCaptured September 5, 2026

From the video

I actually have Justin Herbert highest for a few reasons. I mean the on-off splits with Joe Alt are incredible. Justin Herbert averaged 0.56 fantasy points per drop back with Joe Alt on the field compared to 43 without him.

High ceiling with Joe Alt's impact on efficiency

Justin Herbert is ranked highest in his tier, with significant upside attributed to the presence of Joe Alt. On-off splits show Herbert averaged 0.56 fantasy points per dropback with Alt on the field versus 0.43 without him, a difference between a QB7 and QB21 finish. The potential for a Mike McDaniel-style passing scheme, combined with better health and offensive line stability, creates a high ceiling.
