LA Chargers @ Denver
Team Totals: Chargers 24.25, Broncos 21.25
Particularly with Mile High weather trending toward normalcy, Offensive Rookie of the Year favorite Justin Herbert profiles as a high-floor, high-ceiling Week 8 start coming off three straight top-eight QB1 finishes to face a Broncos defense that yielded top-15 fantasy quarterback scores in each of its first six contests. Denver’s generous allowance of 28.3 QB rushing yards per game benefits dual-threat Herbert, who runs a sub-4.7 forty and led the Chargers in Week 7 rushing (9/66/1). His bye out of the way and facing the Raiders, Dolphins, and Jets over his ensuing three games, Herbert offers fantasy difference-making potential for the foreseeable future. … Although Vic Fangio’s Broncos have played stingy run defense to this point, losing NT Mike Purcell (foot) for the season will challenge their ability to maintain a stout front. Josh Kelley and Justin Jackson both warrant RB2/flex valuation against Denver, even after Kelley out-snapped (47%) and out-touched (17) Jackson (38%, 10) in last week’s win over the Jaguars.
