The Washington Commanders (2-1) will visit the Atlanta Falcons (1-2) in Week 4. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding QB Marcus Mariota.
Is Marcus Mariota Playing in Week 4?
Mariota is not on the injury report and is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Commanders’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Marcus Mariota in Week 4?
Marcus Mariota showcased the type of versatility you want to see from a streaming QB, and in a decent spot with Jayden Daniels (knee) again out, you can go back to the well for top 15 production.
The absence of Terry McLaurin certainly caps Mariota’s ceiling (207 passing yards against the Raiders last week should be in line with Week 4 expectations), but your bet here is always one on rushing production.
If you’re skittish on Mariota as a fill-in option, Geno Smith hosting a vulnerable Bears defense is very much in play.
