Who Should I Start? Marcus Mariota or Will Levis

Friday, October 25, 9:57 PM

Washington Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota could be a viable high-end QB2 in Superflex formats if he is given the starting nod in Week 8. Mariota replaced the injured Jayden Daniels (ribs) early in last week's game and performed quite well as he went 18-for-23 with 205 yards and two scores. He added 34 yards on the ground off 11 carries. This weekend, he will have a much tougher task facing the Chicago Bears, who have allowed the second-fewest points to opposing QBs. However, given how impressive he looked in relief and with his rushing potential, the former first-round pick could be a viable QB2 in Superflex formats, as he may need to push the ball downfield to keep up with a Chicago offense that has continued to improve every week.

Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis (shoulder) was benched in favor of Mason Rudolph for the Week 16 contest against the division-rival Indianapolis Colts, and now he's questionable to serve as the backup on Sunday after being limited in Friday's practice with a right-shoulder injury. It's unclear exactly how serious Levis' shoulder injury is, but if the Titans don't feel he's healthy enough to be Rudolph's backup, Trevor Siemian would be elevated from the practice squad to Tennessee's 53-man active roster for Sunday's contest. The 25-year-old improved his completion percentage from 58.4% of 63.7% in his sophomore year, but overall he was way too inconsistent and struggled with turnovers in his 11 starts, throwing for 1,916 yards, 12 touchdowns and 12 interceptions while also taking 40 sacks and fumbling seven times. Depending on what the team does at QB in the offseason, Levis could be a backup in 2025.
