Who Should I Start? Marcus Mariota or Justin Fields

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.

When asked about who will get the starting nod in this Thursday's road matchup with the New England Patriots, head coach Aaron Glenn declined to say whether it'd be quarterback Justin Fields or Tyrod Taylor. Glenn has been playing this game for a few weeks now, and it doesn't appear that he'll relent in doing so. For what it's worth, Glenn noted that he "liked his [Fields] aggressiveness on the interception," presumably insinuating that he enjoyed watching his QB attempt to fit it into a tight window. As it stands, the 26-year-old will likely remain the Jets' signal-caller for the remainder of the season. With that said, it doesn't seem that Glenn is willing to shut the door on the possibility of Taylor playing altogether. Stay tuned, as it likely won't be official until much closer to game time on Thursday.
