Quarterback Situation
Justin Herbert has posted just 10.7 fantasy points per game through five weeks, a sharp decline from the 17.9 points per game he averaged last season. His highest single-game output sits at 13.26 points, recorded in a Week 1 loss. The team remains winless, and the new offensive scheme has produced limited results. Other signal callers showing low roster percentages include Daniel Jones at 18.8 percent and Malik Willis at 8.7 percent.
Running Back Production
Kenny Gainwell has recorded only 28 touches in five games, averaging fewer than six per contest. Last season he finished 16th among running backs with 221.3 fantasy points and 13 points per game while securing 73 receptions. The expected workload split has not materialized, leaving him with minimal opportunities.
Wide Receiver Outlook
Courtland Sutton has caught 11 of 25 targets for 104 yards. His first touchdown came on a 5-yard reception in a game with only two catches total. The pace projects to roughly 354 receiving yards over a full season, well below prior output. Several other wide receivers also appear on drop lists based on current usage and scoring.
