Episode notes
Start Herbert Against Weakened QB Matchup
- Start Justin Herbert this week against the Vikings given his high passing volume and the Chargers' pass-heavy offense.
- The Vikings rank 24th in schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed to QBs, making Herbert a confidence start.
Plug In Bo Nix Versus Dallas
- Start Bo Nix vs. the Cowboys because Dallas is dead last in schedule-adjusted fantasy points to quarterbacks and gives up big passing production.
- Expect a late-game payoff even if Nix's ceiling comes mostly in the fourth quarter.
Start Jordan Love In Pittsburgh
- Start Jordan Love at Pittsburgh because the Steelers rank 31st in schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed to quarterbacks.
- Love has top efficiency metrics and benefits from Christian Watson's return.
