From the article

Herbert finished with just 14.3 fantasy points in Week 1 and is the current QB21 this week. While it's too early to panic, it's a less-than-ideal start for a quarterback seemingly stuck in the 'good, but not quite great' tier of NFL quarterbacks.

Herbert's 14.3 points and QB21 rank disappoint despite McDaniel hire.

Herbert finished Week 1 with just 14.3 fantasy points and is ranked QB21, falling short of expectations despite the addition of offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel. The source notes he remains stuck in the 'good, but not quite great' tier and faces a brutal schedule ahead including the Bills, Seahawks, Broncos, Chiefs, Rams, Texans, and Ravens after Week 2's matchup against Las Vegas. He is a must-start in Superflex formats but those in 1-QB leagues may need to pivot to backup options soon, particularly if No. 1 WR Ladd McConkey misses significant time.
