Marcus Mariota Could Be High-End QB2 Against Chicago

Friday, October 25, 9:57 PM

Washington Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota could be a viable high-end QB2 in Superflex formats if he is given the starting nod in Week 8. Mariota replaced the injured Jayden Daniels (ribs) early in last week's game and performed quite well as he went 18-for-23 with 205 yards and two scores. He added 34 yards on the ground off 11 carries. This weekend, he will have a much tougher task facing the Chicago Bears, who have allowed the second-fewest points to opposing QBs. However, given how impressive he looked in relief and with his rushing potential, the former first-round pick could be a viable QB2 in Superflex formats, as he may need to push the ball downfield to keep up with a Chicago offense that has continued to improve every week.

Brock Purdy Expected To Suit Up Versus Buffalo

Sunday, December 1, 12:26 AM

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (shoulder) is anticipated to play in Sunday night's matchup versus the Bills. The signal-caller wasn't on the field for the Week 12 loss to the Packers. As a result, Brandon Allen got the start, finishing with 199 yards, one touchdown, and one pick off 17-for-29 passing. If Purdy is officially cleared to suit up on Sunday, he could have a tough time getting it going, considering heavy snow is in the forecast for Buffalo. Still, he should at least be considered a starting fantasy option in multi-QB setups. But if Purdy isn't out there, Allen doesn't have much upside in any format.
