FantasyPros Articles on Marcus Mariota

Mariota takes over for injured Daniels with 17.8 PPG average from last year.

Marcus Mariota will quarterback the Commanders indefinitely after Jayden Daniels dislocated his left elbow on Sunday. Mariota has become one of the NFL's most capable backup quarterbacks, functioning as a competent passer and effective runner despite turning 33 next month. In his first seven starts in place of Daniels last season, Mariota averaged 17.8 fantasy points per game before sustaining a hand injury in his eighth start. His Week 3 matchup with Seattle is unappealing, but he'll be more playable in subsequent weeks.
