Justin Herbert fantasy football preview 2025: Stats, season outlook, predictions

Ladd McConkey was the breakout star for the Chargers last year. Now Los Angeles is poised to see another rookie hit the ground running with first-round running back Omarion Hampton.

Justin Herbert 2025 Fantasy Football Snapshot

  • Herbert’s efficiency stayed strong last season despite career-low passing volume.
  • Chargers upgraded weapons with Tre Harris, Keenan Allen, and Tyler Conklin.
  • Run-heavy scheme limits ceiling, but Herbert remains a steady QB1/2.

2024: Under new head coach John Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Greg Roman, the Chargers aimed to be a run-heavy offense. Justin Herbert passed the ball 504 times, good for No. 13 in the NFL and the second-lowest total of his career – only his 13-game 2023 season had less attempts. He did throw for a career-high 7.7 yards per attempt (still No. 17 in the NFL), totaling 3,870 yards for 23 touchdowns and three interceptions. Tacking on 306 rushing yards, Herbert was a top-15 fantasy quarterback last season. Passing volume has been his biggest fantasy boost throughout his career; though he did not get volume last season, his efficiency kept Herbert as a high-end QB2.

What’s changed: Josh Palmer bolted in free agency and Mike Williams retired, but the Chargers used a second-round pick on efficiency beast Tre Harris before reuniting with middle-of-the-field warrior Keenan Allen in August. They also improved the tight end group with Tyler Conklin. Omarion Hampton and Najee Harris will reinforce the run game. It’s a far better overall skill corps.

2025 Outlook: Although Herbert’s pass-catching group received its desperately-needed talent infusion, we ultimately expect the Chargers to retain a run-heavy identity. Low-ish passing volume will cap his ceiling, but Herbert is efficient enough to be in the low-end QB1 to high-end QB2 range this season.
