Justin Herbert Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

Chargers QB Justin Herbert (ankle) is active for today’s game against the Chiefs. He was limited in practice all week after aggravating his high-ankle sprain in last week’s loss to the Steelers. Herbert will be without starting OTs Joe Alt and Rashawn Slater today and isn’t a recommended starter in any fantasy formats.

Chargers QB Justin Herbert (ankle) is expected to start Sunday's game vs. the Chiefs, "barring a pregame setback," according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Herbert will play through his high-ankle sprain for the second straight week, despite getting pulled early in the loss to the Steelers. He'll be without starting OTs Joe Alt and Rashawn Slater this weekend. Herbert sits outside the top 25 QBs in our Week 4 Rankings.

Chargers QB Justin Herbert (ankle) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Chiefs. He was limited in practice all week. Herbert is pushing to play in this one, but the team could opt to hold him out with a Week 5 bye upcoming. We’ll keep you posted on the situation, but Herbert won’t be a recommended fantasy play even if he suits up on Sunday.

Chargers QB Justin Herbert (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice. He's pushing to play vs. the Chiefs this weekend. We'll see if the team clears him to do so. Herbert will barely be a QB2 if he tries to again play through this high-ankle sprain.

Chargers HC Jim Harbaugh said Wednesday that an MRI on QB Justin Herbert's ankle revealed that the injury is "progressing." Herbert is out of his walking boot. It's still unclear whether he'll start this weekend's game against the Chiefs. Two things that might factor into that decision:

  1. The Chargers are expected to be without OTs Joe Alt (knee) and Rashawn Slater (pectoral).
  2. The team has an upcoming Week 5 bye.

QB Taylor Heinicke would presumably get the start if Herbert misses the Chiefs game. We'll keep you updated on the situation.

X-rays on Chargers QB Justin Herbert's ankle came back clean, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "He'll continue to be monitored this week," Rapoport adds.

Chargers QB Justin Herbert aggravated his ankle injury in the third quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Steelers. He's officially questionable to return, but The Athletic's Daniel Popper tweets that Herbett "has a hat on, limping badly on sideline. Would be shocked if he returns to this game." QB Taylor Heinicke has replaced Herbert.

Chargers QB Justin Herbert (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Steelers. He was reportedly a game-time decision and won’t be close to 100% for this one after suffering a high-ankle sprain last week. The Chargers have QBs Easton Stick and Taylor Heinicke active as insurance. Herbert is a high-risk Week 3 fantasy play without much upside in this tough matchup.

There's "optimism" Chargers QB Justin Herbert (ankle) will be able to play vs. the Steelers today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Herbert only got in a limited practice on Thursday this week as he battles what he said is a high-ankle sprain. ESPN's Adam Schefter hears that Herbert is "preparing to play" today but that a final decision won't come until pregame warmups. Schefter adds that the Chargers will likely have Herbert and QBs Easton Stick and Taylor Heinicke active. We'll get Los Angeles' inactives around 11:30 am ET, but Herbert is not a recommended starter in any fantasy leagues this week.

Chargers QB Justin Herbert (ankle) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Steelers. He practiced on Thursday or Friday but revealed Friday that he's dealing with a high-ankle sprain. Herbert said he's “getting better every day" but wouldn't guarantee that he'll play on Sunday. We'll look for further updates on his status and get Los Angeles' inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. But Herbert is not a QB1 option and is a shaky play even in 2-QB and superflex leagues.

Chargers QB Justin Herbert (ankle) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. HC Jim Harbaugh said yesterday that he expected Herbert to play vs. the Steelers this weekend -- and this puts him on track to do so. Herbert won't be at 100%, though. And the challenging matchup leaves him out of QB1 consideration.

Chargers HC Jim Harbaugh said Wednesday that he expects QB Justin Herbert (ankle) to play vs. the Steelers this weekend. Herbert did not practice on Wednesday but is "getting better every day," Harbaugh said.

Chargers QB Justin Herbert missed practice on Wednesday and is on the injury report with an ankle. HC Jim Harbaugh said Monday that x-rays on the ankle came back clean but that Herbert was scheduled for "further evaluations." It's unclear what those revealed. Herbert played through this injury last week, so we're tentatively expecting him to play vs. the Steelers on Sunday. But even a healthy Herbert would not be a QB1 option in that matchup.

Chargers HC Jim Harbaugh said Monday that x-rays on QB Justin Herbert's lower right leg came back clean. "I'm sure there'll be further evaluations as the week goes on," Harbaugh added. It sounds like Herbert isn't out of the woods quite yet. But, considering he finished the Week 2 win over the Panthers, we're expecting him to start this Sunday's game vs. the Steelers.

Chargers RB J.K. Dobbins delivered for fantasy managers in a Week 2 win over Carolina. Seeing 17 carries, the former Raven busted off 131 yards and 1 TD. He tallied a run of 40+ yards for the second straight week.

Chargers WR Quentin Johnston scored twice in Sunday’s game against Carolina. The second-year pro totaled 51 yards on 5 catches in a blowout win.

Chargers WR Josh Palmer (knee) is questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Panthers. He went from limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday to no practice on Friday. Even if he ends up playing on Sunday, try to avoid Palmer in fantasy lineups. His absence could send a few extra targets WR Ladd McConkey’s way.
