Who Should I Start? Marcus Mariota or Wan'Dale Robinson

Washington Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota (right hand, quad) is day-to-day ahead of Thursday's Week 17 contest against the Dallas Cowboys, head coach Dan Quinn told the media. Mariota's right hand injury, which forced him out of Saturday's Week 16 loss to the Eagles, required stitches. He is also dealing with a quad ailment. Josh Johnson relieved Mariota on Saturday and finished the game. Now, it appears that the veteran journeyman has a chance to become the Commanders' third different quarterback to start a game this season. Managers invested in Mariota's availability should closely monitor the Commanders' injury reports from Monday through Wednesday.

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson has been playing at an incredibly high level ever since quarterback Jaxson Dart returned from his concussion. Over his last three games, the 24-year-old receiver has 32 targets, 21 catches, 244 yards, and two touchdowns. He ranks as the overall WR7 in full-PPR fantasy points per game during that span. In addition to commanding a high dose of targets, Robinson has impressed with his ability to create after the catch. Last week, he had 23 yards after the catch, which ranked 16th-highest among all NFL receivers. Now, he'll take on the Minnesota Vikings in Week 16. The Vikings have a strong defense under coordinator Brian Flores, allowing the fourth-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025. Still, Robinson should have another productive game with a high dose of targets and catches, as well as plenty of opportunities to make plays with the ball in his hands. He remains a very strong WR2 for fantasy football in Week 16.
