ANALYSIS: The Falcons are content winning through their run game, which has led to modest passing volume in the first six weeks. Marcus Mariota has attempted over 30 passes in just one game this season, and it hasn’t happened since Week 1.
However, Mariota has been wildly efficient as a passer and is doing just enough on the ground to give him fantasy value. The Falcons’ quarterback has at least 14.0 fantasy points in five of six games this year. He’s had at least 17.0 points in each of his last two games thanks to an uptick in rushing.
In the last two weeks, Mariota has at least six rushing attempts and 50 rushing yards. He also added a rushing score in a surprising win against the 49ers on Sunday.
The schedule for the Falcons looks good in the upcoming weeks as well. Mariota will have two solid matchups against the Bengals and Panthers in the next two weeks before a rough faceoff with the Chargers in Week 9.
He’s worth stashing for the long term with matchups against the Panthers, Bears, and Commanders from Weeks 10-12.
