Marcus Mariota Throws Two Touchdowns in What Could be his Final Start

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.

Jared Goff Still Worth Starting in Difficult Week 6 Matchup?

Friday, October 10, 5:43 PM

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has been a productive player through five weeks this season, recording 1,187 passing yards and 12 touchdowns compared to just two interceptions. However, he may be a quarterback for fantasy managers to move away from in a difficult Week 6 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs have allowed the ninth-fewest passing yards (999) and fourth-fewest number of passing touchdowns (five) in the NFL so far this season. Additionally, Goff could be without starting left tackle Taylor Decker (shoulder), which may limit Detroit's ability to push the ball downfield. In two-quarterback formats, Goff still profiles as a solid QB2, but he may be a player to avoid in Week 6 in single-QB leagues.
