Favorite futures for 2023
Justin Herbert over 4,450.5 passing yards (-115), to lead NFL in passing yards (+600)
Herbert has done nothing but produce prolific passing yardage numbers as the Chargers QB. He threw for 4,336 yards as a rookie and passed for more than 5,000 yards in 2021. Last season, Herbert posted 4,739 passing yards despite playing with a severely injured rib and operating in Joe Lombardi's conservative offensive scheme.
Now with Kellen Moore calling the plays and a new weapon in Quentin Johnston, the Chargers should play faster and be more explosive as a passing offense. Herbert has a great shot at another 5,000-yard season.
*Record against the "Over" line set for the game. Both teams are credited with a win if the game went over, a loss if under, and a tie if pushed.
