Justin Herbert has flashed moments of QB1 skills in 2024, despite the fact that the Los Angeles Chargers quarterback is on a team that runs the ball a fair amount.

But his ankle injury in Week 14 wasn't good even though he played all but one snap in Week 15. Now, he's coming into Thursday night's game against the Denver Broncos without an injury designation, and if you have him in the fantasy football playoffs, you might be wondering: do you start Herbert?

Denver is just OK against the pass and terrific against the run, but couple that Broncos defense with the short week and the injury recovery, and I'm sitting Herbert. There are assuredly better QBs to start out there.

Good luck!
