We’re in Week 3 and Justin Herbert, who we all know can light it up, has combined for a measly 25.2 Fantasy points across his first two games against Arizona and Las Vegas. This dude needs a big game at Buffalo, plain and simple, and fantasy managers are ready to rip their hair out if he tanks again.
Is Herbert About To Finally Explode?
Herbert is due for a monster game, and this matchup against the Bills is one he absolutely should exploit. I’m telling you, even though the Bills are ranked No. 6 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks, there’s a real shot here. Why? Because C.J. Stroud and Jared Goff each dropped at least 20.5 Fantasy points on Buffalo to start the season. Those two combined for 601 passing yards, six touchdowns, and zero interceptions. That’s a huge stat! The hope here is that the Chargers will be chasing points on the road, forcing Herbert to air it out, and that the Bills’ defense, despite that ranking, is indeed “suspect” as we’ve seen. We’ve been frustrated watching him, no doubt, but this is the week to trust him as a low-end starter. Things have to improve, right?
Other Quarterbacks Heating Up Fast
It’s not all doom and gloom for other signal-callers. Jared Goff is absolutely on fire for Detroit. He’s stacked 533 passing yards, six touchdowns, and zero picks so far this season! The guy scored at least 20.4 Fantasy points in each game against New Orleans and Buffalo. He should keep that momentum rolling against the Jets at home, especially since he’s hit at least 20 Fantasy points in five of his last six games in Detroit dating back to last season. Goff is a top-five fantasy QB for Week 3, no question.
Then you’ve got Patrick Mahomes. This dude just looks awesome in his two games against Denver and Indianapolis, putting up at least 25.7 Fantasy points in each. Now he gets the Dolphins, and Miami has already given up six total touchdowns to Kirk Cousins and Brock Purdy in their first two matchups. Mahomes is going to stay hot; this might be the last time we even *talk* about him as a starter because he’s practically an automatic pick every single week.
Bryce Young is another one to watch this week against Cleveland. We’re going to see which version of the Browns’ defense shows up, but they let Trevor Lawrence score a whopping 33.8 Fantasy points in Week 1. Baker Mayfield was limited, but Lawrence showed us the ceiling.
For Week 3, the stakes are high, especially for those Herbert managers holding their breath. Can he turn it around and prove he’s the guy we all know he can be? We’ll find out what these quarterbacks truly bring to the field.
