Pat Fantasy Dog Pound locked in Justin Herbert as his QB2 and explained why he thinks Herbert is a smash at current ADP. Pat expects the Chargers to dial up more designed runs after Joe Lombardi’s departure, forecasting a meaningful bump to Herbert’s career-low 2.3 rush attempts per game from 2023. That extra ground production, plus a juicy Week-16 showdown with Dallas that should push the total north of 50, gives Herbert tournament-winning upside in Greyhound’s 53-team finals. Pat also noted that with a small final-round field you can survive a flat QB game, so Herbert’s rushing floor plus ceiling combo lets you chase spike weeks elsewhere without sweating variance at the position.

Pat Fantasy Dog Pound encouraged drafters loading up on the Dallas passing attack to tack on Quentin Johnston as a low-cost bring-back for the Cowboys’ Week-16 trip to SoFi. He pointed out that the indoor setting should juice scoring and that Johnston’s ADP—floating in the 140s—provides affordable exposure to a potential shootout. Even if Johnston remains the Chargers’ WR3 all season, Pat argued his spike-week profile meshes perfectly with Best Ball Mania’s tournament structure: one long touchdown in that playoff round could break the slate while preserving Dallas volume for stacked Lamb and Dak shares.
