Marcus Mariota News
Friday, May 8, 12:28 PM
After appearing in just six games (zero starts) between 2023 and 2024, Washington Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota was pressed into starting duty in 2025 thanks to myriad injury issues for Washington QB1 Jayden Daniels. The veteran Mariota performed adequately, throwing for 1,695 yards, 10 touchdowns, and seven interceptions across 11 games (eight starts). Mariota's fantasy appeal comes from his ability to use his legs, as he rushed for 297 yards and a score on 50 attempts. With Daniels healthy heading into 2026, Mariota should slide back into a backup role. Given Daniels' injury track record dating back to his days in college, dynasty managers may want to consider stashing Mariota in a bench spot. Still, rostering Mariota is a deep-league play at best, as he offers little upside beyond capable QB2 production as he enters his age-33 season.

Dwayne Washington News
Sunday, November 26, 3:02 PM
Denver Broncos running back Dwayne Washington (illness) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns. He was listed as questionable after being a late addition to the injury report on Friday. Washington has played just one snap on offense this season, spending most of his time on special teams. As a result, his absence in Week 12 will have no fantasy implications.
