Should You Draft Herbert This Year?
Herbert is a very interesting fantasy option this season. We know his upside. This is still the same guy who averaged 22.9 and 23.3 fantasy points per game (ppg) in his first two seasons. The past two haven’t been quite as good, though.
Last year, Herbert rebounded slightly from a down 2022 that saw him average just 17.1 ppg, but 18.6 ppg is not exactly what fantasy managers were looking for. It was even more disheartening, given how hot Herbert was to start the season.
