The Washington Commanders will visit the New York Giants in Week 15. 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 15?
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 15?
It’s easy to forget that Mariota has been a top-12 QB in each of his past three, but that’s precisely why I’m here!
He ran for 126 yards across those games (opponents: Lions, Dolphins, and Broncos) and hit for a 35+ yard play with either his legs or his arm in each of them. The opposing starting QB has surpassed his season average in terms of fantasy points in six of their past seven games, a trend that, if sustained, puts Mariota in the low-end QB1 discussion, even without Zach Ertz.
I’ve got him as my QB13 this week and would advise going this direction if you’re currently betting on Caleb Williams (vs. CLE), Justin Herbert (at KC), or Jordan Love (at DEN).
