Hawaii's Marcus Mariota was named the starting quarterback for the Washington Commanders, making his first regular season start since January of last year

Veteran journeyman quarterback Marcus Mariota appreciates every moment on the field for the Washington Commanders with Jayden Daniels on the mend.

Jayden Daniels (knee) is out for Week 3 against the Raiders, and Marcus Mariota will make his first start since Week 13 of 2022. But Mariota has plenty of upside as the starter for the Commanders, and he should be considered a sleeper in all leagues.

The Tennessee Titans turned quite a few heads back in the 2015 NFL Draft by snagging a QB in the first round. With 2011 first-round pick Jake Locker retiring unexpectedly after the 2014 season, the team was on the hunt for a new signal-caller.

Marcus Mariota trucked the Commanders head coach, who proved his 'football guy' bonafides and bounced back up.
