Trust = spike production for that player
Quarterback
Justin Herbert (TRUST): Despite completing 57.9% of his passes for 6.2 yards per attempt last Thursday, Herbert stayed hot for fantasy, throwing two touchdown passes while rushing for another. Herbert has now reeled off five straight top-eight scoring weeks.
Herbert will look to stay hot against a Houston defense that is allowing 7.6 yards per pass attempt (27th). The Texans have allowed just four QB1 scoring weeks, but all three of the four passers they have faced that are in the top-13 in points per game this season have torched them in Kyler Murray (21.4 points), Matthew Stafford (24.2 points), and Russell Wilson (21.2 points).
