Fantasy football: FanDuel NFL 2020 best lineup for Week 16
By Nick Villano
Quarterback: Justin Herbert $8,200
The Los Angeles Chargers are looking ahead to 2021 with a 5-9 record and two games left on the schedule. Not much has gone right for the other team in the City of Angels, but one thing that has is rookie quarterback Justin Herbert.
Herbert went back to his high-scoring ways last week, putting up around 28 points against the Raiders on Thursday night. This was his second-best output of the season. It was his fourth rushing touchdown of the season and his first in more than a month.
It was good for Justin Herbert owners after two-straight weeks of lackluster play. Against the Patriots, Bills, and Falcons, he was unable to reach 18 points. It cratered against the Patriots, but it appears that was just a fluke bad performance.
Meanwhile, Herbert is taking on the Denver Broncos. They just allowed Josh Allen to put up more than 37 points last week. Now, they face Herbert with Keenan Allen one week healthier. Honestly, most Chargers are up for grabs in this matchup. Go for Herbert, Allen, and Austin Ekeler. Someone is going to break out, but it’s most likely going to be the quarterback.
Other Options: Jalen Hurts $8,200, Deshaun Watson $8,500
