Quarterback
Justin Herbert: After a four-game streak as a QB1, Herbert closed last week as the QB26 (8.7 points). He still threw for 313 yards (his third straight game with 300 yards through the air), but he failed to throw a touchdown pass for the second time this season while throwing a pair of interceptions.
Despite the disappointing outcome, Herbert has now thrown for over 7.0 yards per pass attempt in three straight games for the first time this season.
Herbert will look to get back on track as a QB1 against an Indianapolis team that is coming off the worst collapse in NFL history. With four second half passing touchdowns allowed to Kirk Cousins, the Colts have now allowed seven passing touchdowns in their past two games.
