Marcus Mariota is the backup. He's not a disaster by backup standards, but certainly still in the range of quarterbacks you want to target with most defenses.

Mariota starts for injured Daniels; solid backup with turnover upside.

Now the starter for the Commanders after Jayden Daniels' elbow dislocation. Mariota is solid by backup QB standards but still in the range of quarterbacks defenses want to target. Last year he played extensively for Washington, turning the ball over at a healthy rate while avoiding sacks (averaging less than 1.5 per game, never more than 2). However, facing the Seahawks' defense, the moderate sack projection is not a reason to sit a great defense against a backup QB.
