ESPN Senior NFL Insider Adam Schefter reports that according to sources Justin Herbert will decide pregame warmups on whether or not he will take a painkilling injection into his fractured rib cartilage and attempt to play against the Jaguars on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact: Herbert reportedly wants to play but his status for Sunday remains up in the air. The Chargers’ late start leaves his fantasy managers in the unenviable position of having to decide whether or not to replace him with a starter from the early slate, possibly without knowing if he is a go or not. Jimmy Garoppolo plays on Sunday Night and should be available in a lot of leagues, making an intriguing insurance policy for Herbert managers. If he is ultimately unable to go, 14-year veteran Chase Daniel will make the start. If Herbert is out, all Chargers skill position players get downgraded for fantasy purposes with the extreme downgrade at quarterback.
