Outlook Justin Herbert
Justin Herbert vs. Texans — Turnover Woes and Sputtering Offense Limit Fantasy Appeal
The Chargers remain committed to Herbert after rebuffing trade calls, but the winless offense continues to struggle. Herbert has thrown an interception in every contest this year—totaling 10 picks against just five touchdowns—while operating behind an offensive line missing key starters, which leaves him vulnerable against Will Anderson Jr. and Houston's front.
Our projections forecast another muted outing, modeling roughly 204 passing yards, 0.7 passing touchdowns, and 13.7 fantasy points in a low-scoring environment. With his fantasy start rate slipping to 6% during the team's 0-7 start, Herbert is not a trustworthy option and belongs on fantasy benches in standard one-quarterback formats.

Outlook Woody Marks
Woody Marks at Los Angeles Chargers — Set for Lead Role as Road Favorites
Woody Marks enters Week 9 as Houston's primary backfield option with David Montgomery ruled out due to a groin injury. Marks has completely put his minor late-October leg scare behind him, handling 19 carries in his last contest while pacing the backfield ahead of Dare Ogunbowale.
Facing a winless Chargers squad as 5.5-point road favorites, Marks is positioned for a favorable, run-friendly game script. We project him for roughly 16 carries and over 75 total scrimmage yards, making him a strong start whom fantasy managers should feel confident slotting into lineups.
