Marcus Mariota
QB - Washington Commanders
Availability
Marcus Mariota completed 28-of-50 passing attempts for 294 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception while adding 55 yards on the ground in Sunday night's 27-26 OT loss to the Denver Broncos.
Fantasy Impact
Mariota slotted in as Washington's starter on Sunday night with Jayden Daniels (elbow) still sidelined. He looked pretty good in that matchup, finishing with nearly 350 total yards and two touchdowns against one of the league's best defenses. He wasn't quite able to bring things home for a win in overtime, but he still looked good overall and could be a good streaming option for fantasy purposes if Daniels misses more time.
With Jayden Daniels officially ruled out due to an elbow injury, Marcus Mariota is set to make his sixth start of the season on Sunday night. Despite the team coming off a Week 12 bye, Daniels was deemed not quite ready to return, handing the reins back to the veteran quarterback.
Fantasy Impact
Mariota has guided Washington to a 1-4 record in his previous starts. Over seven total appearances, he has completed 66 percent of his passes for 1,065 yards, seven touchdowns, and five interceptions, while adding just 63 yards and a score on the ground. Given that modest production and a matchup against Denver's elite defense, Mariota is not a recommended target for fantasy managers.
Marcus Mariota completed 20-of-30 passes for 213 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in the Commanders 16-13 loss to Miami. He rushed for 49 yards on four carries.
Fantasy Impact
Mariota's lone touchdown pass came on a 20-yard catch and run in the third quarter to give Washington a lead. The veteran quarterback threw a costly interception in overtime that set up the Dolphins for a game winning field goal. The Commanders will head to their bye in Week 12.
Marcus Mariota completed 16-of-22 pass attempts for 213 yards and two touchdowns while also rushing five times for 22 yards in the Commanders' 44-22 Week 10 loss to the Lions.
Fantasy Impact
Mariota has struggled behind center when called upon, finishing with less than two passing touchdowns in four of six starts for the Commanders. The veteran quarterback remains difficult to trust in all formats ahead of a Week 11 matchup against the Miami Dolphins.
Marcus Mariota entered the game late, but did not throw a pass on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
Mariota entered the game late after Jayden Daniels left with a scary elbow/arm injury. Mariota did not attempt a pass as the game was out of reach. He'll be on the QB2 radar next week against the Lions.
