I expect to get ratio’d for this take, but bench Justin Herbert tonight against the Raiders.
He has failed to hit QB1 numbers in 3 straight weeks and now has a banged-up offense heading into a Thursday night game. [THREAD]

Last 3 weeks:
Week 13 @ BUF: 16.94
Week 14 vs NE: 5.36
Week 15 vs ATL: 16.22
Those games were with a healthy pass-catching corps/O-line. No Mike Williams tonight, limited (if at all) Keenan Allen, and 2 starting O-lineman out.

After averaging 300 yards over his first 9 starts and throwing an insane 22:6 TD:INT ratio, he’s averaging 256 yards with a 3:4 TD:INT ratio over his last 3 games.
Scariest stat yet: His rushing splits with and without Austin Ekeler.
With Austin Ekeler (6 games): 14 attempts for 45 yards and 1 TD
Without Austin Ekeler (6 games): 27 attempts for 140 yards and 2 TDs
Ekeler severely limits his rushing upside.

Herbert still has a sky-high ceiling against a bruised Raider’s defense, but he has a high risk of busting this week that shouldn't be ignored.
With his offense equally hurting, Herbert slips outside my top-15.

I was struggling to start Herbert this week BEFORE the news of Mike Williams and Keenan Allen's injuries came out. That just solidifies my opinion further.
Check out the Quick Shot I released this morning for @JoinOurCircle_ on Justin Herbert.
