Justin Herbert Unlucky
31 of 47 passing for 337 yards, 1 touchdown, 1 interception; 4 carries for -1 yards.

Start/Sit: Justin Herbert →Taylor Heinicke
11 of 15 passing for 122 yards, 1 touchdown; 3 carries for 17 yards.
Verdict: The points matched the role, 8.5 expected.
Keenan Allen
13 targets (28% of the team's), 9 catches for 100 yards.
Verdict: The points matched the role, 21.9 expected.
Start/Sit: Keenan Allen →Mike Williams
12 targets (26% of the team's), 8 catches for 82 yards and 1 touchdown.

Antonio Gibson Volume, no payoff
5 targets (25% of the team's), 3 catches for 18 yards; 20 carries (74% of the team's) for 90 yards.

Dyami Brown Unlucky
4 targets (20% of the team's), 1 catch for -2 yards.
Verdict: The role was there, worth 6.7 points at league-average rates; the production wasn't.
Start/Sit: Dyami Brown →Logan Thomas Ran hot
3 targets (15% of the team's), 3 catches for 30 yards and 1 touchdown.
Verdict: The opportunities were worth 5.1 points; the touchdowns supplied the rest, and they are the part least likely to repeat.
