Chargers are SITTING Justin Herbert In Week 18 and It's The RIGHT Decision

On this episode of Locked On Chargers, Daniel Wade and David Droegemeier break down Jim Harbaugh’s decision to rest Justin Herbert for Week 18—and why it’s absolutely the right move for the Chargers’ playoff hopes. The hosts debate which other starters should sit, discuss the value of giving key rookies some real game reps, and weigh the risks of chasing playoff seeding versus prioritizing player health. You’ll hear detailed analysis on the Chargers’ ongoing offensive line struggles, possible changes ahead of the postseason, and what the ideal lineup should look like in a meaningless regular season finale. Plus: which AFC playoff matchup should fans hope for, how far can Justin Herbert’s heroics realistically take LA, and why Greg Roman’s playcalling might be the X-factor come playoff time. If you’re a devoted Chargers fan, this episode gives you must-know insight into Week 18 strategy, in-depth rookie evaluations, and the team’s priorities heading into the playoffs.
