Quick answer: Justin Herbert is the cannon-armed pure passer. His weekly board: passing yards over 245.5 to 280.5 (-110 to -125), passing TDs over 1.5 (-115 to -135), interceptions under 0.5 (-115 to -150), longest completion over 38.5 to 44.5 (-115 to -130), and rushing yards under 12.5 (-130 to -160).

What Drives Herbert’s Passing Volume
Opposing pass defense ranking is dominant. Game script: Chargers trailing produces 40+ attempts. Dome environments amplify his accuracy. Ladd McConkey and other WR1 health drives YAC accumulation.
Passing TDs and Long Completion
TDs over 1.5 hits ~58-65% in neutral matchups. Longest completion over 38.5 to 44.5 hits ~58-65%; Herbert’s arm strength makes the deep ball prop high-EV against single-high safety defenses.
Where the Sharp Edge Lives
Passing yards over in dome games against bottom-10 pass defenses. Longest completion over against Cover-1 teams. INT under as same-day parlay component. Rushing yards under is base-rate lock.
Common Mistakes
Betting Herbert’s rushing prop over (he’s not mobile; under is the lock). Ignoring weather and dome status. Parlaying same-game props with correlation premium.
