As our consensus #15 QB, Justin Herbert is a reasonable starter, but not one worth spending an early draft pick on. Herbert is projected to earn 42.6 of his 286 fantasy points by rushing. While it isn't nothing, it's not a huge part of his gameplan. With a projection of 9.4 interceptions compared to 26.5 passing touchdowns, he isn't not likely to melt down often.
