Should You Start or Sit Khalil Herbert in Week 11?
Due to the struggles on the defensive end, the Bengals need to be close to flawless on the offensive end. I mean, we just saw them finish four of their final seven possessions with a touchdown and lose. The margin for error is so thin for this team, and that simply doesn’t give them the luxury of a new player into a meaningful role.
Khalil Herbert mishandled the ball on one of his two snaps on Thursday night and doesn’t need to be held onto right now. That said, if you have an 8-2 team and are looking for a luxury stash, go ahead — he’s probably one injury away from a strong role on an elite offense. Outside of that, however, I’d pass until we see proof that he’s going to assume even the role that once belonged to Zack Moss.
