Who Should I Start? Marcus Mariota or Josh Allen

Monday, November 10, 12:11 PM

Washington Commanders veteran quarterback Marcus Mariota matched his season high with 213 passing yards on 16-for-22 passing with two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 44-22 blowout loss to the visiting Detroit Lions in Week 10. Mariota also carried the ball five times for 22 rushing yards and was sacked twice for a loss of 18 yards. The 32-year-old's numbers don't really jump off the page, but all in all, it wasn't a bad performance in his fourth start of the year. It's unclear exactly how long Jayden Daniels (elbow) will be out following a gruesome dislocated left elbow in Week 9, but Mariota should see at least a few more starts, including a plus matchup in Week 11 against the Miami Dolphins. He has completed 65.5% of his 110 pass attempts for 852 yards, six touchdowns, and four interceptions in his six games played (four starts) in 2025. Mariota should continue to be a low-upside QB2 streamer in superflex leagues for however long Daniels remains sidelined.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen completed 28 of his 40 pass attempts for 306 passing yards, two touchdowns, and one interception during Sunday's Week 10 loss against the Miami Dolphins. He also rushed for 31 yards, took three sacks, and lost a fumble. The loss and two turnovers are a major blemish on Allen's 2025 statistics, but he offered his fantasy managers some relief with two touchdowns and over 300 yards. For the most part, managers won't care whether the Bills win or lose, as long as their quarterback continues to post solid fantasy performances. Nevertheless, he'll look to clean things up ahead of Week 11 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Allen should still be trusted as a strong QB1 in fantasy football.
