TEN QB Marcus Mariota - Week 1, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Tampa Bay
Mariota might not set the world on fire in his matchup with Jameis Winston, but his scrambling ability should be on display. Mariota completed 70 percent of his passes in the preseason, but had just one touchdown pass (and one interception). The Titans are limited in terms of playmakers at this point, so that limits Mariota's upside. And it's tough to go with a rookie signal caller in this situation when there are so many other good options.

TEN QB Marcus Mariota - 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Marcus Mariota is going to be the Titans' starting quarterback this season. He's got a good arm and is a good enough athlete to run the ball, so he's going to have some success.

Fantasy Downside
Rookies, in general, aren't strong fantasy plays at the QB position. And considering the Titans don't have a wealth of offensive talent, Mariota will have his struggles.

Bottom line
Given Tennessee's lack of playmakers overall, don't expect Mariota to take the league by storm. The one plus is that his backup, Zach Mettenberger also is a young guy, so it's not like the team is going to be tempted to go to the wily veteran to try to win some games. The Titans and Mariota are going to take their lumps together this season. He's unlikely to be much of a fantasy factor.
