Atlanta Falcons QB Marcus Mariota is at the top of the quarterback depth chart ahead of the 2022 season, head coach Arthur Smith said recently. ''We've added competition certainly,'' Smith said. ''Marcus being the veteran gives us a chance going forward. As with any position on this team, the best player is going to play, but obviously Marcus being the vet, that's the way it'll go starting out.''
Huddle Up: Mariota will battle it out for the starting job with 2022 third-round pick Desmond Ridder, but it's obvious the veteran has the advantage there. If he wins the starting job, Mariota will enter the season as a QB2 with QB1 upside thanks to his ability to make plays with his legs, but it's worth noting he has a shaky roster around him and a checkered past with injuries.

He has a $5 million signing bonus with a $1.75 million guaranteed base salary. He has a $3 million roster bonus due the fifth day of the league year.

Updating a previous report, free-agent QB Marcus Mariota (Raiders) agreed to terms on a two-year contract with the Atlanta Falcons on Monday, March 21. Financial terms of the deal were not immediately disclosed.
Huddle Up: Atlanta head coach Arthur Smith and Mariota briefly worked together with the Tennessee Titans in 2019 when the former was the offensive coordinator. Feleipe Franks is the only other quarterback on the Falcons' roster at the moment, so they needed to add someone just for roster depth. Mariota figures to serve as the bridge between Matt Ryan, who was traded to the Indianapolis Colts earlier Monday, and whomever the Falcons draft in April. Mariota figures to be a hard sell in fantasy outside of superflex/two-quarterback leagues.

Free-agent QB Marcus Mariota (Raiders) could be high on the Atlanta Falcons' priority list following the team's trade of Matt Ryan on Monday, March 21, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo via sources.
Huddle Up: Mariota played for Atlanta head coach Arthur Smith when the latter was the offensive coordinator for the former with the Tennessee Titans in 2019. Given the Falcons' current quarterback depth chart (Feleipe Franks), Mariota would have a very good chance to start next season while Atlanta grooms the quarterback it is now expected to draft at No. 8 overall next month.

Las Vegas Raiders QB Marcus Mariota will continue to be used in certain spots for the rest of the season, according to comments made by interim head coach Rich Bisaccia on Tuesday, Nov. 30.
Huddle Up: While it will come as a minor nuisance to Derek Carr's fantasy managers, they have little to worry about here. At worst, Mariota will maybe take two or three snaps to execute a zone-read play every game and could steal a red zone touchdown here or there from Carr, but that is about it.
