Impact The highlight of Herbert's season was when he took over lead-back duties for David Montgomery over a four-week span and averaged over 20 touches and 97 yards, showing that he can be a strong option if needed in the future. As long as Montgomery remains ahead of him on the depth chart, he'll be selected in fantasy drafts as a valuable backup with upside if he's needed to start games. He'll enter the second year of his four-year rookie deal, and his solid performance when called upon in 2021 makes it likely that he'll be with the team for the near future.
