Herbert’s Week 1 performance against Kansas City looked like a new level: he’s healthier, more confident, and operating within a sharper Chargers offense that finally feels like a complete program. His newfound mobility played off a deeper skill group, amplifying options and driving points on the scoreboard. Greg Roman pushed the envelope, using cutups of Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes to encourage Herbert to leverage his legs without turning it into a mandate. The mix yielded efficient drives and a concrete fantasy upside across the Bolts’ weapons.

Early momentum suggests the Chargers will ride Herbert’s running ability alongside a diversified pass game, with a run-friendly approach opening room for multiple playmakers. If this balance sticks, Week 2 and beyond could lift ceiling across the offense for fantasy managers who value mobility and a more explosive, balanced attack.
