Los Angeles Chargers DFS Spin
Justin Herbert completed 28-of-42 passes for 313 yards and two interceptions in the Chargers’ 17-14, Week 15 win over the Titans. Herbert played nearly four quarters of uninspiring football before driving down the field with less than a minute on the clock to set up Cameron Dicker for a game-winning field goal. The drive included a play that saw Herbert roll out and uncork a gem to Mike Williams while on the run. One of the interceptions was also not on Herbert. He threw the ball out of bounds in the end zone only for Titans corner Roger McCreary to jump out of bounds, catch the football, and throw it back in bounds to safety Josh Kalu for the pick. It was easily the best interception of the year and doesn’t really fall on Herbert’s shoulders. Herbert will look to get back into the end zone in his Week 16 matchup with the Colts. He will rank as a low-end QB1.
Indianapolis Colts DFS Spin
Colts QB Nick Foles will start in Week 16 against the Chargers. Foles, 33, started one game for the Bears in 2021, completing 24 of 35 passes for 250 yards and a touchdown against the Seahawks. He’s likely an upgrade under center for the Colts over the deteriorating Matt Ryan. The Colts made the QB change after Week 15’s historic loss to the Vikings in which Indy took a 33-0 lead before losing to Minnesota. Foles, who reportedly hasn’t taken a snap with the first-team offense since the summer, can be rostered in superflex formats. In Week 16, he’ll face a Chargers defense allowing the 12th lowest EPA per drop back since Week 8.
