Marcus Mariota
QB - Washington Commanders
2024 Outlook
Availability
Veteran QB Marcus Mariota, who will be a free agent in the 2025 offseason, could have "a little bit of interest" from the Las Vegas Raiders and Miami Dolphins.
Fantasy Impact
Adam Schefter drew the link to these two teams due to Mariota's relationships with new Raiders OC Chip Kelly and Miami QB Tua Tagovailoa, speaking on "The Pat McAfee Show." Las Vegas currently has Aidan O'Connell and Gardner Minshew II, though the latter could be a cut candidate. However, the Raiders could be in the market for a non-bridge QB, either in the draft or via free agency. Miami needs a backup QB behind Tagovailoa that they can trust, and Mariota could be an option.
Marcus Mariota completed 15-of-18 passes for 161 yards with two touchdowns in the Commanders 23-19 win over the Cowboys.
Fantasy Impact
Mariota entered the game in the second half for Washington. He threw a game-winning touchdown to Terry McLaurin in the final seconds of the game for the winning score. He enters the postseason as the backup to Jayden Daniels.
Marcus Mariota completed 18-of-23 passes for 205 yards and two touchdowns in the Commanders’ 40-7 win over Carolina. He also ran 11 times for 34 yards.
Fantasy Impact
Mariota played well subbing in for an injured Jayden Daniels. Granted, it was against the hapless Carolina defense, but he put up good overall numbers all things considered. He could enter streaming consideration if Daniels were to miss any time.
The Commanders have activated QB Marcus Mariota (chest) off injured reserve.
Fantasy Impact
Mariota has not suited up for the Commanders this season due to a chest injury. He is expected to take over the backup QB duties from Jeff Driskel.
Marcus Mariota (pec) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice.
Fantasy Impact
Mariota has been out for the entire season so far thanks to a pec injury that he suffered in the preseason, but he returned to practice on Wednesday and was a full participant. It looks like he will be back in the lineup in the very near future and will likely assume the QB2 job behind Jayden Daniels for the Commanders.
