The Eagles are the reigning Super Bowl champions and have a few superstars on their defense. In Week 2, the game against the New York Giants is likely to be easier, with the team set to get a few short fields from turnovers. He could be in for a monster game.

The Chargers came out firing on all cylinders against the Kansas City Chiefs in Brazil. Justin threw three touchdowns with no interceptions, and despite playing against a strong defense, he managed to have a great game and produce the upset.

The Raiders' defense also had a great game against the New England Patriots, but they'll play against a completely different level of offense. Herbert managed to dominate a stronger team, and he's set to have another great game, with Sportskeeda's fantasy tool projecting 271 passing yards and a touchdown for him.

Who to pick between Dak Prescott and Justin Herbert for Week 2?

Our Who Should I Start tool projects the Chargers quarterback to have a slight advantage, mainly based on his projected total yards being higher than the Cowboys' passer.

It's just Week 2 of the season, so there's no definite analysis to be made here. However, based on Week 1 performances and their upcoming matchups, Herbert seems to be the best player.
