A column headline is not a benching. Herbert's put up 11.8 and 16.4 the last two weeks and travels to face a Buffalo defense with a 50.5-point total attached, as 7-point road dogs. That's a below-average floor, not a marriage worth annulling on your roster. He's rostered everywhere, so you're starting him regardless of what a Wednesday column thinks about his coordinator fit. Ride it out and ignore the noise.
