00:00 Now that Justin Herbert is a member of the Los Angeles chargers, let's find out if he's
00:05 going to start in week one and how many passing yards he'll have in 2020 for that. I bring
00:09 on Jason Hirschhorn who covers the chargers and Jamie Eisner, one of our fantasy and gambling
00:15 analysts here at sports illustrated Jason, I'll start with you. Herbert under center
00:19 week one. Is that going to happen?
00:22 I would say probably not. They're pretty committed to while an open competition, giving Tyra
00:27 Taylor a real chance at securing the starting job for the beginning of the season. Now that
00:33 could change in short order as Justin Herbert becomes better acclimated with the NFL, with
00:39 the chargers offense. So it wouldn't surprise anyone if kind of like Tyra a few years ago
00:44 in Cleveland gets replaced near the end of the first month of the season or not that
00:47 long thereafter. So I think at some point in 2020 we will see Justin Herbert as the
00:51 starting quarterback, but I don't think it will be week one.
00:54 Jamie, I know you have the odds from these sports books about whether or not Herbert
00:59 will start week one and also is over under for his passing yards. What do you got?
01:04 Well, they're in full agreement on him not starting in week one right now. That answer
01:08 is minus three 70. So you have to bet $370 just to win a hundred dollars back on the
01:13 no. I think Jason's right on the money here. I think this is very similar to what happened
01:17 with Tyra Taylor in Cleveland. He will get the chance to start the season, but I don't
01:21 think he'll finish the season. And that's the key for this Justin Herbert passing yards
01:24 bet. It's right now set at 3,400 total yards with even juice minus one 10 on both sides.
01:31 For me to take the over, you would have to basically gamble that he's going to make 12
01:36 or more starts this season. If you don't think he's going to start that much, you take the
01:40 under.
01:41 Great analysis, Jamie, Jason. Thank you. We have plenty more gambling and fantasy analysis
