Fantasy Football 2017: Start Em, Sit Em for Week 3
SIT ‘EM
Quarterback. Titans. Marcus Mariota. 1. player. 35. Projected Points: 17.5
It might be tough for Marcus Mariota fantasy owners to bench him after his riveting performance against the Jaguars last week, but this is a whole different match-up for him. Mariota and his Titans team will be facing the Seahawks this week.
We all know just how good the Seahawks are defensively and they know how to shut quarterbacks down. They held Aaron Rodgers scoreless in the first half in week one and then kept Brian Hoyer to under 100 yards passing in week two.
Even though Mariota is much better than Hoyer, he’s still not a safe play against Seattle. The Seahawks defense is one of the best in the league and they get to the quarterback and force him to make mistakes.
If you have another option behind Mariota, start that guy instead… unless it’s Brian Hoyer. I feel sorry for you if that’s the case.
