Fantasy Football Player Notes

We've speculated all offseason, but now we finally get to see how much a Greg Roman offense will impact Herbert's fantasy outlook. He's coming off another solid fantasy season as the QB8 in fantasy points per game. Herbert's underlying accuracy metrics last year are concerning even if we take the passing volume concerns out of the equation. Among 45 qualifying quarterbacks last season, he ranked 26th in yards per attempt, 22nd in CPOE, and 23rd in adjusted completion rate. Despite these concerns, Herbert should return decent QB2 numbers in Week 1. After Antonio Pierce took over last year, his pass defense allowed the 14th-highest yards per attempt, the eighth-highest CPOE, and the third-highest adjusted completion rate.
