From the article
I expect him to bounce back in Week 2. The question is how much for fantasy purposes. I view this as a middle-of-the-road matchup at worst for Herbert in Week 2.
STACKED’s take
Herbert's accuracy metrics support a Week 2 bounce-back against middling Raiders pass defense.
Herbert was QB22 in Week 1, throwing for 209 yards and one score (one interception) with 29 rushing yards on five carries. Despite offensive shortcomings, he was very accurate: 13th in yards per attempt, third-best in highly accurate throw rate, and seventh in catchable target rate among 32 qualifying passers. The source expects him to bounce back in Week 2. Las Vegas faced Malik Willis and the Dolphins in Week 1, making it tough to assess their pass defense. Last year, Las Vegas allowed ninth-highest passing success rate, tenth-highest passer rating, and tenth-most EPA per dropback. The source views this as a middle-of-the-road matchup at worst for Herbert.
