Marcus Mariota completed 22 of 37 pass attempts for 254 yards and two touchdowns against the Patriots on Saturday, adding four rushes for 37 yards. After the game, it was revealed that Mariota strained his quad in the first quarter, which limited him thereafter.

Fantasy Impact:

Mariota looked great early on but clearly lacked elusiveness and speed later in the game, which was obviously a result of his quad strain. The young quarterback ends his disappointing season on a down note, and will need to focus on staying healthy and getting more consistent to move into the upper echelon of fantasy quarterbacks next season.
