Herbert will kickoff the Chargers’ preseason slate with his first-ever exhibition start, likely a short stint of one to two series as all offensive starters are slated to play. Khalil Mack and Derwin James will be rested, testing the depth behind them. Trey Lance and Taylor Heinicke are set to share reps behind Herbert, as the 49ers alum and the veteran adjust to this Week 0 environment. Herbert’s 2023 efficiency—65.9% for 3,870 yards with 23 TD and just 3 INT—sets a high fantasy floor if he sees any extended action in this tune-up game against the Rams.
