Marcus Mariota vs. Colts in London — Streaming Upside in Projected Shootout

Fresh off earning Player of the Week honors with three passing touchdowns against Seattle, Mariota appears set to start again in London as Jayden Daniels nurses a left elbow injury. Daniels was limited in practice this week, leaving the newly minted team captain to guide the Commanders' offense.

Our models project Mariota for 14.4 fantasy points, expecting roughly 197 passing yards and 24 rushing yards against Indianapolis. While offensive line injuries to Laremy Tunsil and Sam Cosmi cloud pass protection, a favorable 47.5 game total and his rushing baseline make him a viable streaming candidate or superflex starter.

Outlook Jalon Daniels

Jalon Daniels vs GB at home — Rookie steps into starting role

Thrust into the starting lineup following Baker Mayfield's thumb injury, undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels makes his first career NFL start on Sunday. Daniels looks to provide an offensive spark for the winless Buccaneers, though he may be navigating a thinned receiving group with Jalen McMillan out and Chris Godwin battling an ankle injury.

For fantasy purposes, Daniels is strictly a stash or desperation play in deep two-quarterback formats. Our models project him for 194 passing yards, 1.2 passing touchdowns, and 19 rushing yards (12.9 fantasy points). In a matchup featuring a low projected total, he is best left on fantasy benches in standard leagues.
