Marcus Mariota

Week 9 at New Orleans
Mariota is expected to be back this week after missing the past two games with a sprained knee, and he faces a New Orleans defense that is dead last in points allowed to quarterbacks -- including allowing 350 yards and 6 TD passes last week. He'll be limited in his mobility this week, however, and without top receiver Kendall Wright. Keep the expectations in check.

Week 6 vs. Miami
That crash you heard last week was the Mariota train coming off the rails a bit. After throwing at least two TD passes in each of his first three games, Buffalo shut the rookie QB out and limited him to 187 passing yards. He did scramble a season-high five times for 47 yards, but it didn't match his previous production. The Dolphins have been middle of the pack in terms of pass defense and have given up seven passing touchdowns. Mariota should have some success given the Dolphins don't necessarily rush the passer well, but he's a middling fantasy start this week.

Week 3 vs Indianapolis
Who cares if the Titans got their butts kicked by the Browns last week? Not you. You enjoyed a 257-yard, two-TD game from Mariota. He also ran a little last week (three times for 19 yards), somewhat offsetting the two interceptions he threw. He become the first rookie QB since Dan Marino to throw six TDs in his first two starts, which is a good sign and some good company to keep. Of course, the Colts have been pathetic on offense early this season, so the Titans might keep it simple for Mariota. With some other high-profile signal callers down this week, Mariota might be worth a flier.
