The Washington Commanders will visit the Miami Dolphins in Week 11. 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 11?
Mariota is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he 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 Mariota in Week 11?
The Commanders were never really competitive with the Lions last week, eliminating all hope for offensive balance (running backs: 22 carries for just 71 yards).
I don’t think this Miami puts it on Washington the same way Detroit did, and that should help, but this defense has looked improved over their past two games played on standard rest (wins over the Falcons and Bills), and that gives us the excuse we need to not at all be interested in this offense.
In theory, Mariota’s legs offer some cheat code potential, but he doesn’t have a 10-yard rush in consecutive outings, and if that continues, it robs him of the single-play upside that would give him a prayer at finishing top 15.
