Who Should I Start? Marcus Mariota or Josh Allen

Wednesday, December 3, 12:29 AM

Washington Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota has played great while filling in for an injured Jayden Daniels (elbow). Mariota and the Commanders nearly pulled off the upset against the Denver Broncos in Week 13, with Mariota completing 28 of 50 passes for 294 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception while adding 10 carries for 55 yards on the ground. It was a valiant effort against one of the top defenses in the league that continued a trend of the 32-year-old signal-caller playing well. Daniels reportedly has a chance to return in Week 14 against the Minnesota Vikings, but he has not yet been cleared for contact. More will be known about Daniels' status in practice this week, but if he needs more time, Mariota would be in line to make his seventh start of the season and would profile as a strong streaming option again versus the Vikings.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen scored his 30th total touchdown on the season in last week's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Allen completed 15 of 23 passes for 123 yards and a touchdown while adding eight carries for 38 yards and a score on the ground. The 29-year-old signal-caller didn't need to throw the ball much, though, as the Bills gashed Pittsburgh for 249 yards on the ground, and he worked his way into the end zone for his 11th rushing touchdown of the season -- three more than any other quarterback. Allen is set up with a dream matchup in Week 14 against the Cincinnati Bengals, who have allowed the most points per game in the league and concede the fourth-most passing yards per game. The superstar quarterback blew up for six touchdowns back in Week 11 at home against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and he could be gearing up for another nuclear game in Week 14.
