Who Should I Start? Marcus Mariota or Bryce Young

Friday, November 14, 7:11 PM

Washington Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota has value as a potential streamer going up against the Miami Dolphins in Madrid in Week 11. Mariota was solid on low passing volume in Washington's Week 10 loss to the Lions, completing 16 of 22 passes for 213 yards and two touchdowns while adding five rushes for 22 yards on the ground. The veteran finished as QB12 for the week with 18.7 fantasy points and should be in line for another productive game against a leaky Miami defense. Mariota will be without most of Washington's expected core of wide receivers, including Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Luke McCaffrey (shoulder), and the recently signed Treylon Burks (finger) has also been ruled out. The 32-year-old Mariota is a viable streamer in a matchup that could wind up being a shootout with how poor Washington's defense has been lately.

Bryce Young is not worth consideration for fantasy lineups in Week 11. The Carolina QB logged under five Fantasy Points Per Game and did not throw any passing touchdowns in Weeks 9 and 10. This season, Young has averaged 11.6 Fantasy Points Per Game and registered over 20 points only once. Fantasy players should not expect an adequate performance out of Young against the Atlanta Falcons. In Week 3 against Atlanta, Young finished with 121 passing yards, scored one rushing TD, and earned just 11.6 fantasy points. Leading up to Week 11, Atlanta ranks seventh in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to QBs. The Falcons have a vulnerable run defense, allowing 26.59 Fantasy Points Per Game, which ranks 29th in the league to RBs this season. Expect Carolina to rely on their running game in Week 11 to stay competitive. Fantasy players should leave Young reserved for Week 11. He should only be considered in superflex leagues if your regular QB2 is out and there are no options available otherwise.
