So in this grouping, you have Dak highest.
I actually have Justin Herbert highest for a few reasons.
I mean, the on/off splits with Joe Alt are incredible.
They are.
I mean, truly incredible.
Like again, Reebs' worksheet had this: Justin Herbert averaged .56 fantasy points per drop back with Joe Alt on the field compared to .43 without him.
That sounds small- That's huge but that's the difference between ranking as the quarterback seven and the quarterback 21 in points per game- Yes on a weekly basis.
And so that was Joe Alt really by himself with his offensive line.
And so at worst, hopefully we have Rashawn Slater, hopefully, and Joe Alt, and then maybe the interior is awash compared to what it was last year.
You know?
Yeah.
Yes.
I just don't want him running for his life, and he was last year.
He was hitting a league high 129 dropbacks.
We know he broke his hand.
We know he had rib injuries.
We know he had all of it.
I just think it's almost limitless potential with Justin Herbert in a Mike McDaniel passing game
