10. Justin Herbert, Los Angeles Chargers
The 2020 first-round pick was absolutely terrific in his rookie campaign for the Chargers. Herbert gave the team a chance to win just about every single game, while producing some very solid stats. The No. 6 overall pick finished the season as the tenth ranked quarterback in terms of fantasy points. He tossed for 4,356 yards, 31 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. He also rushed the ball 55 times for an additional 234 yards and five scores.
With pass-catching studs like Keenan Allen, Austin Ekeler, and Hunter Henry, Herbert is only going to improve in his second season in the NFL. Herbert will be 23 years old when the next season starts, so expect his maturity level and NFL IQ to continue to trend in the right direction. And as long as the Chargers’ defense continue to struggle, Herbert will have to put the team on his back. Herbert could be one of the most valuable steals in fantasy drafts.
Prediction: 4,500 passing yards, 33 passing touchdowns, 11 interceptions, 200 rushing yards, three rushing touchdowns.
