Sharp take
Sharp SixAddMariota is rostered in zero percent of the field, and a 51.5-point total with Washington as 3.5-point underdogs is the exact script a backup quarterback wants. That is a chase-mode passing game, not a game-manager afternoon. He is a one-week plug if your quarterback room is currently Daniels and nothing else. Daniels stays on your bench, because the timeline on the elbow is still being gathered and you do not cut a 345-point projection over an information vacuum. Everyone with a functioning starter can skip this entirely.
