Who Should I Start? Marcus Mariota or Joshua Palmer

Friday, November 14, 7:11 PM

Washington Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota has value as a potential streamer going up against the Miami Dolphins in Madrid in Week 11. Mariota was solid on low passing volume in Washington's Week 10 loss to the Lions, completing 16 of 22 passes for 213 yards and two touchdowns while adding five rushes for 22 yards on the ground. The veteran finished as QB12 for the week with 18.7 fantasy points and should be in line for another productive game against a leaky Miami defense. Mariota will be without most of Washington's expected core of wide receivers, including Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Luke McCaffrey (shoulder), and the recently signed Treylon Burks (finger) has also been ruled out. The 32-year-old Mariota is a viable streamer in a matchup that could wind up being a shootout with how poor Washington's defense has been lately.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Joshua Palmer (knee, ankle) is a full participant in Wednesday's practice, according to Alaina Getzenburg of ESPN. Palmer has missed three consecutive games since getting banged up in Buffalo's Week 6 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, but is on track to make his return on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 26-year-old wasn't very impactful in the six games he's played this season, catching 14 of his 20 targets for 234 yards. Palmer could provide a jolt to a Bills passing game that struggled in Week 10 against the Dolphins, but he is safe to leave on the waiver wire in most leagues.
