00:00Justin Herbert will play.

00:04What does that mean for Josh Palmer?

00:06What does that mean for some of the ancillary receivers?

00:07What does that mean for the total in the game?

00:09You and I see an upset here, but take it away, Joe.

00:13Yeah, Justin Herbert is going to play.

00:14The plantar fascia is a real injury

00:16and it's an injury that could linger throughout the year.

00:18I know he's gotten treatment on it,

00:19but typically this is something that takes weeks to subside

00:22and usually weeks of rest.

00:23And that's one thing you're not gonna see.

00:24I would also keep an eye on Justin Herbert

00:26practicing a lot the next couple of weeks.

00:28You could see a lot of limited practices in his future

00:31just to make sure he's ready for game day.

00:32So don't panic if that's the case.

00:34I think that's a little bit more

00:35of the management of the foot issue.

00:38Don't pretend like these little foot issues

00:40aren't big issues.

00:41Historically speaking, these foot issues

00:43really crush people's seasons.

00:45I'm not saying it's gonna happen with Herbert.

00:47Maybe it was a mild situation.

00:48He's getting the best treatment you possibly can get.

00:50He's in the NFL.

00:52They have the best doctors, the best treatment people,

00:53the best training people, of course.

00:55But more to the point too,

00:57this is gonna be a very different looking offense.

01:00I think people are a little too far

01:02in the Greg Roman column of,

01:04oh my God, they're only gonna throw the football

01:05four times a game.

01:06Of course they're not.

01:07Like, come on.

01:08Yeah, they're gonna be run heavy,

01:10but that's also out of necessity right now

01:12because you don't have Keenan Allen anymore.

01:13So you're gonna have to go look elsewhere.

01:15Josh Palmer's in line for a lot of targets today.

01:17I like him as a DFS player.

01:18I like him also as a potential flex play in PPR leagues.

01:22If you need somebody, I think he's a good spot.

01:24But we'll see what Ladd McConkie is going to be.

01:28Also of note too, in this same Charger team,

01:30DJ Charco's on the pup list last night.

01:32So that was something that people didn't see coming.

01:34So who knows?

01:35Maybe you do get to see Quentin Johnson

01:37make a case for his roster spot after all.

01:40But I imagine it's a lot of the running backs by committee,

01:44Edwards, Dobbins, maybe you get a little Vidal,

01:47but a lot of Josh Palmer today.

01:49But again, I don't know how excited that makes us.

01:51That's why I like the Raiders in this game today.
