Similar performance in Denver. He was beat by Sanders a few times and it was his quadrant in zone that Flacco picked on late in that game to tie the score. 

These were below average performances though I wouldn't call them "bad games" for a back up. Which is what he is. Will Fuller has been burning lots of DBs this year. So he did pretty good there.  Looked a bit outmatched in Denver though.

Maybe he develops into more. I think he will get better. I'd be surprised if he's a long term starter on the outside though.

Fuller had 40 total yards in that game.  Ramsey gave up almost that many to Adam Humphries alone the next week in Ten. on one play. I'm not even going to bring up the other passes in gave up in that game.  Ramsey gave up that many yards to Jones on one play this past week.   If your the "best" you should be giving up all thos big plays.  Funny how Herndon can give up a few plays and he has a below average game but Ramsey can give up TDs and more yardage but he plays great lol.  I brought up the Denver game saying that was a bad game for him.  Not to mention Ramsey is in his 4th year and Herndon is in his 2nd with little starting experience and looks to be getting better as the season goes along.  Ramsey gave up a TD week 1 to KCs 2nd best WR. Bouye didnt give up a TD all year in 2017 lol

I followed up my comments on Herndon/Fuller saying he did pretty good in that game.  

You can continue to try to compare him to Jalen Ramsey if you wish, but it's not going to make you look very smart. 
There is a wide gap in their abilities. 

I like Herndon. In fact I might have been one of only two or three guys here in 2018 preseason calling for him to make the roster based on his preseason performance.  I'm simply trying to look at his performance thus far objectively. 
He's playing better than I expected, but I'm not going to ignore the first downs he's given up when he was clearly targeted by opposing quarterbacks. 

Until he stops being the focus of opposing QBs and coordinators on opening drives and critical downs - he's still got much to prove and room to improve. I'm rooting for him.  
He really did look more natural when he covered the nickel for Herndon last year than he does playing outside this year.
