Who Should I Start? Marcus Mariota or Jacoby Brissett

Monday, September 29, 12:07 PM

Washington Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota got going late in the 34-27 loss to his former team, the Atlanta Falcons, in Week 4, in what could be his final start with Jayden Daniels targeting a return from his knee sprain in Week 5 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Mariota finished Sunday's loss by going 16-for-27 passing for 156 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. He added two carries for 20 yards and was sacked twice for a loss of nine yards. The 31-year-old veteran's touchdown passes went to receivers Luke McCaffrey and Deebo Samuel Sr. In two games in place of the injured Daniels, Mariota has been decent, completing 64.6% of his 48 pass attempts for 363 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception. It's not a lock that Daniels will play in Week 5, but if Mariota makes a third straight start, he'll be a low-end QB2 play against a tough Chargers defense on the road.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett led the offense to their most productive game of the season in their Week 6 loss at Indianapolis. Brissett completed 27 of 44 passes for 320 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception. The 320 passing yards and 400 total yards were both season highs for Arizona. When asked why the offense looked so different against the Colts, Gannon said they "tailored the scheme a little bit" during the week in case Brissett ended up starting. The coaching staff made a few adjustments to their base offense to help Brissett feel more comfortable, and the results were encouraging. With Kyler Murray still dealing with a mid-foot sprain, we may see Brissett make a few starts. He could make for a solid add in superflex and two-quarterback leagues.
