The Washington Commanders will visit the Minnesota Vikings in Week 14. 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 14?
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 14?
If Jayden Daniels (elbow) misses another game, we’ve seen Washington trust Marcus Mariota with volume, and that’s enough to put him on DFS radars as a punt play.
The efficiency concerns are real. He’s thrown a pick in consecutive games and averaged just 5.9 yards per pass last season, but 50 throws and 10 rush attempts have a way of supporting a fantasy asset.
Mariota has multiple TD passes in two of his past three games and has at least 20 rushing yards in every start he’s made this season. We could get a very chaotic day if this is the case, but I was encouraged by what we saw from Terry McLaurin in his return to action.
He’s not an asset for me in season-long formats, but if you want to sell me on him having top 10 mainslate value based on per-dollar production, I’d listen.
