The early returns for Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert in Jim Harbaugh’s offense have been very high for fantasy managers keeping an eye on things right now.
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler explained on SportsCenter that Herbert has made some “ridiculous throws” so far in OTAs and mandatory minicamp in his first exposure to the system being implemented by Harbaugh:
“The vibes are immense. The vibes are hot, the streets are hot. The Chargers are implementing that run-heavy Harbaugh system, which is a little bit different for Justin Herbert. I’m told that transition has been seamless but to a point because they’ve stuck with mostly passing concepts this spring. In training camp, they’re going to hit that run-heavy, play-action stuff early. But I was told that he’s made several ‘ridiculous’ throws already and that somebody from the team told me that he can fit into any scheme, it doesn’t matter, he’s that kind of quarterback. So, he will be just fine.”
The Chargers quarterback has earned rave reviews from his new head coach throughout the offseason. Harbaugh said Herbert “crushed” the conditioning test at minicamp earlier this week
