Marcus Mariota completed 20 of his 28 pass attempts for 253 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions in Atlanta’s Week 8 victory over Carolina. He added six carries for 43 yards.
Fantasy Impact: Mariota’s 253 yards and three touchdowns each served as new season highs. This was a welcome sight for fantasy owners, after he had been held to under 150 yards in the past four consecutive outings. In addition, Mariota recorded 30 of his 43 rushing yards in overtime, thanks to Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro missing the PAT attempt at the end of regulation and a 32-yard field goal in extra time. He’ll continue to be playable as a QB2 option against a leaky Chargers defense for Week 9.
