Who Should I Start? Marcus Mariota or Parker Washington

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.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington (hamstring) has been cleared to play in Week 11 against the visiting Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday despite not putting in a full practice all week. Washington was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday due to a hamstring injury before being limited on Thursday and Friday. With Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) missing the Week 10 loss to the Houston Texans, Washington caught three of his seven targets for 33 yards and his second touchdown of the season while also returning a kick for a score on special teams. The 23-year-old's role will be elevated for the rest of 2025 with rookie Travis Hunter (knee) done for the season, and Washington has developed some nice chemistry with quarterback Trevor Lawrence. However, with Thomas potentially returning this weekend and the newly acquired Jakobi Meyers also being more involved in his second game, Washington becomes a little less attractive as a PPR WR4/flex.
