Justin Herbert and MarShawn Lloyd among NFL's worst starters after four weeks
Summary

Through four weeks of the 2026 NFL season, several players have struggled significantly. Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert ranks last among starters with a QBR of 28.0, struggling with poor offensive line play and having the lowest on-target rate. Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd, with just 81 rushing yards, leads with the lowest yards-per-carry average at 2.7. Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams is tied for the most dropped passes this season, while Packers tight end Tucker Kraft leads his position in drops. As the season progresses, these players will need to improve to avoid further issues for their teams.
