Justin Herbert 2020 Outlook
HC Anthony Lynn has made it clear that veteran Tyrod Taylor is in the driver's seat when it comes to the starting QB job but admitted that could change. This after the team made Herbert the sixth overall pick of this year's draft and, assuming all works out as hoped, their quarterback of the future. A change could also open the door to Herbert becoming the quarterback of the present. Lynn told SI.com that even though Taylor remains in the No. 1 spot, he's not ruling out anything once the players get on the field. "It's a competition, bro," Lynn said. "I can't just say Tyrod's gonna be the starting quarterback for the whole year if this young man goes in there and wins the job. ..." The unusual circumstances of this offseason may work against Herbert making a quick ascent, but the Chargers didn't use such a high pick on a player they think is incapable of handling the job. As ESPN's Mike Clay noted, at 6’6 Herbert is one of the biggest quarterbacks in this class. His best asset is his huge arm, though his accuracy remains a bit suspect. Herbert, who has drawn comparisons to both Ryan Tannehill and Carson Wentz, figures to add some slight value with his legs. But beyond Dynasty leagues, his immediate fantasy value is limited.
