In a thrilling matchup against the Bengals, Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert showcased a strong first half but struggled in the second half. He completed 10 of 14 passes for 183 yards and 2 touchdowns before halftime, along with 58 rushing yards. However, his performance dipped significantly in the second half, completing only 7 of 22 attempts for 104 yards and adding a 7-yard rush. Despite the inconsistency, Herbert's performance marked his fourth consecutive game with 2 total touchdowns and at least 279 passing yards in four of the last five games.

• Herbert continues to show flashes of brilliance but needs to maintain consistency throughout the game.
• His ability to rack up passing yards and touchdowns remains a positive for fantasy managers.
