3 years agoLas Vegas Raiders quarterback Marcus Mariota (quadriceps) landed on the injured reserve list on Saturday. The backup signal-caller re-aggravated a preexisting quad injury after a 31-yard run during the Monday Night Football overtime win over the Baltimore Ravens. The 27-year-old is anticipated to miss the next three games due to the designation, so it's conceivable he could make it back as soon as the Week 5 matchup against the Chicago Bears. Nonetheless, while Mariota is expected to have a minor role in the offense this season, Derek Carr still has a firm grasp as the team's starter moving ahead. However, if Carr were to succumb to an injury while Mariota is out, Nathan Peterman would likely slide in to fill the void, although he isn't a reliable fantasy option.--Dennis Clausen - RotoBaller
