WAS QB Marcus Mariota - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs Chicago Bears

Marcus Mariota looks like getting the nod for the Commanders this week, with Jayden Daniels not able to overcome the injury that forced him from the game early in Week 7. Mariota managed to post 20.2 fantasy points in relief of Daniels, but the Carolina Panthers are not quite the matchup that the Chicago Bears promise to be. The Bears rank third in aFPA to quarterbacks this season. If you have another option, starting them over Mariota would probably be wise, with the former second-overall pick ranking as our QB27 this week.

ATL QB Marcus Mariota - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

Another week of modest passing yardage with decent rushing yardage from Marcus Mariota. That's just what you'll get from Mariota, especially now that we know he won't have Kyle Pitts for the rest of the season. The good news is Pittsburgh is allowing the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. There's enough here to make Mariota worth consideration as a QB2 and for daily lineups.

ATL QB Marcus Mariota - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Washington Commanders

Make it eight games under 200 passing yards for Marcus Mariota. But also make it seven straight games with at least 20 rushing yards and he scored his fourth rushing touchdown of the season last week. That helps him salvage fantasy days each week, but his ceiling remains very low, especially against a constantly improving Commanders defense. With no teams on a bye this week, Mariota is a borderline QB2.

ATL QB Marcus Mariota - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Chicago Bears

Marcus Mariota notched just his fourth multi-touchdown game of the season in Week 10 against the Panthers but there was some thought he would be benched in favor of Desmond Ridder. He was not. He remains the starter heading into a Week 11 showdown with the Bears. At this point, you can't rely on him to get you much in the passing game (7 games with less than 200 passing yards) but he'll get you a few points on the ground. He continues to be a solid QB2 in fantasy.

ATL QB Marcus Mariota - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 at Carolina Panthers

Atlanta's passing game has been very limited this season, but Marcus Mariota has done the best he can, given his limitations. He also still adds some rushing value. He has rushed at least 5 times in every game this season. In Week 8 against the Panthers, he had a season-high 253 yards and three touchdowns. If he can equal that on Thursday, he could end up as a low-end QB1 for the week. He's certainly at least QB2-worthy and is worth consideration for DFS lineups as well.

ATL QB Marcus Mariota - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs. Los Angeles Chargers

Interestingly enough, Marcus Mariota hit a season-high in passing yards last week against the Panthers, going for 253 yards and his first game with three passing touchdowns this season. Now, he faces a Chargers defense that is hurting and has the 23rd-ranked pass defense in DVOA. As a result, Mariota's arm and legs give him some upside this week as a borderline QB1 for Week 9.

ATL QB Marcus Mariota - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Carolina Panthers

The legs of Marcus Mariota are what's helping his fantasy season. He hasn't cracked 200 passing yards since Week 3 but does have at least 30 rushing yards in three straight games. He's also only thrown the football 27 times combined in the last two games. His mobility at least helps keep him as an ok QB2 option going forward and they face a Panthers team that is on the lower end against the pass, ranking 22nd in DVOA. He's worth a look for streaming options of 2QB leagues, especially if you normally have Patrick Mahomes or Justin Herbert.
