Fantasy Football 2018: Thursday Night Football Start Em, Sit Em Week 14
START ‘EM
Titans. Marcus Mariota. 1. player. 35. . Quarterback
Tread with caution when it comes to slotting Marcus Mariota in as your quarterback this week. He’s a better play in dual quarterback leagues than in just a solo signal caller league, but if you do roll with him, the reason for optimism is that he can run.
Mariota isn’t the most consistent passer, which was indicated by some missed throws last week against the Jets, of all teams. Where Mariota burns defenses, however, is with his legs. The former second overall pick ran for over 50 yards against the Jags in their first match-up this season and he’s only continuing to move the ball on the ground.
Again, Mariota isn’t the best option to throw in at quarterback in fantasy football, but his ability to run the ball is where I like him to stack up points this week. He should get you a decent amount of points just on rushing yards alone.
