Justin Herbert was listed with an over/under passing yards total of 211.5 while C.J. Stroud came in at 129.5. BetUS has all your player and game prop bets for Saturday's game.
Herbert completed 23-of-29 passes for 300 yards and two touchdowns in the Chargers’ 34-17, Week 16 win over the Cowboys, adding eight carries for 42 yards and a rushing touchdown.
The Chargers did not punt until the third quarter, and the only other drive they had that ended without a score was a purposeful kneeldown on fourth down rather than kicking a meaningless field goal to go up 20 instead of 17 with less than a minute left. Herbert looked well-composed, rarely was pressured by Dallas’ defense, and made the quality of throws we’ve come to expect from him. He also mixed in a 37-yard scamper past a blitzing Cowboys linebacker and a tush-push touchdown for a nice fantasy rushing line. Despite this, the conventional wisdom will put Herbert near the bottom of the QB1 line in Week 17 for Saturday’s matchup against the Texans.
Stroud completed 23-of-35 passes for 187 yards and a touchdown in the Texans’ 23-21, Week 16 over the Raiders.
The Texans started off slow in this one, with just six offensive points in the first half while Stroud was off-target and late on a number of throws, particularly while throwing to the sideline. They managed to get things together enough to hold off the Raiders, and Stroud went 13-of-15 for 105 yards and his touchdown in the second half, but this was not particularly sharp football. Stroud will snap back to the QB2 line in Week 17 in a Saturday playoff rematch against the Chargers.
