Mariota took over for Jayden Daniels (ribs) in Week 7 against Carolina and scored 23.6 Fantasy points, and Mariota could start again in Week 8 against Chicago if Daniels remains out. It's a terrible matchup, so take that into account, but we know Mariota will make plays with his legs (he ran for 34 yards) and has the chance to be productive. He's worth adding in all Superflex and two-quarterback leagues if Daniels is out for at least 10 percent of your remaining FAB.

Mariota completed 18 of 23 passes for 205 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 40-7 win over the Panthers. He added 11 rushes for 34 yards. Mariota was forced into the game after just one offensive possession after Jayden Daniels (ribs) departed. He led the Commanders' offense effectively, highlighted by a pair of touchdown drives to close the first half and begin the second half. On those two possessions, Mariota combined to complete 10 of 11 passes for 119 yards and a pair of touchdown throws. While he benefitted from a very favorable matchup, Mariota showed a surprising command of the offense in relief. However, he'll face a much tougher test if called upon for a Week 8 matchup against the Bears.

Mariota (pectoral) is active for Sunday's game against the Browns. Mariota landed on injured reserve just before the season opener due to a chest injury, which was reclassified as a pectoral issue during Week 5 prep after the Commanders designated him for return Wednesday and were required to list him on the practice report. He remained questionable for Sunday even after the team activated him Saturday, but now that he's deemed active, he'll act as the top backup to starting quarterback and rookie sensation Jayden Daniels.

Mariota (chest) was activated off injured reserve Saturday but remains questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns. It would seem counterintuitive to activate a player off injured reserve and then not play him, especially well within the 21-day practice window, so it seems likely the veteran quarterback is set to operate as the backup come Sunday. Mariota will likely push out Jeff Driskel from the backup spot as a result.

Mariota (chest) was a full participant in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Mariota opened the season on injured reserve due to a chest injury. The 30-year-old quarterback has been a full participant in all three practices this week after he was designated to return to practice Wednesday. While he does carry a questionable tag into Sunday's game, Mariota appears to be trending towards being activated off IR and serving as Jayden Daniels' backup. If Mariota is activated off IR, that will likely lead to Sam Hartman being cut from the active roster while Jeff Driskel serves as the third/emergency quarterback.
