Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert (hand) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 9, and is not on the injury report for the Wild Card playoff game.
Huddle Up: Herbert has played well over the last three weeks and has posted four touchdowns and two interceptions during that span. He will have a tough matchup this week but can still be a low-end No. 1 quarterback in fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Herbert has been productive despite his injured hand and has thrown seven touchdowns in his last five games. He will be facing a good New England Patriots defense but can be a low-end No. 1 quarterback in a majority of leagues.

Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert (hand) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Jan. 7.
Huddle Up: Herbert has been able to play despite his hand injury but has thrown at least two touchdowns in only two of his last seven games. He will be facing a good New England Patriots defense this week but can still be a low-end No. 1 quarterback in playoff fantasy leagues.

Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert was hit 129 during the regular season, most in the NFL. "He has to be the most insanely mentally tough dude of all time," teammate LB Khalil Mack said. He was pressured on 42.8 percent of his 615 dropbacks, the highest rate in the league, according to TruMedia. He was hit on 21 percent of those dropbacks, while he was sacked 54 times. Herbert set a career high with 439 scramble yards this season.
Huddle Up: Herbert is tough as nails, and despite all of the pressure, he still completed 66.4% of his pass attempts for 3,727 yards, 26 TDs and 13 INTs. The 54 sacks were easily the most of his career, with 41 being the prior high mark. He rushed for 498 yards, also easily a career best. It was out of necessity, as the Chargers' offensive line was banged up most of the season. Heading into the postseason against New England this weekend, he is a solid fantasy option in postseason leagues and in DFS play.

Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert (hand, non-injury) did not practice Thursday, Jan. 1.
Huddle Up: It has already been announced that Herbert will sit out the regular season finale, so it is no surprise to see him sit out Thursday's practice session. Trey Lance will likely be under center in Week 18.
