By the StatChasers staff. Updated .

Herbert has averaged 6.1 fantasy points per game over 57 games and 5 seasons, without a top-12 finish. The average hides two careers: 9.4 a game in his one season with a starter's volume, 5.2 in the four without it.

In 2025 he averaged 2.2 per game, level with 2024. His volume is up (6.7 carries plus targets a game against 3.6) but less of it is turning into points. His quarterback in 2025 was Justin Fields.
