Marcus Mariota completed 12 of his 23 pass attempts for 129 yards and rushed five times for 24 yards in Atlanta’s Week 9 defeat to the Los Angeles Chargers.
Fantasy Impact: Mariota has now been held to under 150 passing yards for the fifth time in the last six weeks. He additionally failed to score a touchdown for the first time since Week 4, which potentially could have been avoided if he didn’t overthrow Kyle Pitts on a deep ball late in the final frame. The strong running game kept the Falcons in it until the end, and it is very likely the same approach is utilized against a Panthers defense that was just absolutely torched by Joe Mixon this week. As such, Mariota should be considered a low-end QB2 for that matchup on Thursday night.
