9) Justin Herbert vs. Titans
This year, Herbert has become the top-tier option at quarterback that we hoped he would be back when he broke into the league in 2020, where he averaged almost 4,700 yards and over 30 touchdowns per year in his first three seasons. Maybe it’s partly due to being reunited with Keenan Allen, but the largest factor has been the fact that he’s become a running quarterback. His career high prior to 2025 was the 306 yards he rushed for last year, and this year he has already run for 248. If he can continue to average 35 yards per game on the ground, he will set a new career high by next week and will end up with almost double his previous career best total. The Titans don’t exactly present the type of matchup that screams “we need everything Justin can give us”, but he should be able to pile up numbers early on in the game. Look for a total similar to what he gave us in Week 6 against Miami, which doesn’t bode well for his rushing upside but will still land him in the top 10 for the week.
10) Jaxson Dart vs. 49ers
Dart lost his best buddy last week when Cam Skattebo suffered a gruesome ankle injury. While that won’t help the Giants offense, it should put more of an onus on the passing game to stay competitive. Dart scored a rushing touchdown for the 3rd straight game and for the 4th time overall in 5 starts, so he’s worked his way into the conversation as an every-week starter. This week he gets a San Francisco defense that just allowed C.J. Stroud to throw for over 300 yards and two scores without his best two offensive weapons. Let’s see if Jaxson and his ragtag bunch of pass catchers can replicate that feat. His legs give him a solid baseline to flirt with 20 fantasy points every week. Start him if you have him.
