Justin Herbert has played without his top wide receiver for all but half of a game this season and he’s still found a way to top the leaderboard in passing yards through the first four weeks.
Without Allen, Mike Williams and Josh Palmer have certainly seen an uptick in usage, but guys like Gerald Everett and DeAndre Carter have also stepped up to provide reliable targets for their star passer.
Heck, two of Herbert’s nine passing touchdowns this season have gone to the team’s rookie fullback if that gives you a better idea of how well he’s been able to spread the ball around to his playmakers.
