Marcus Mariota

Week 15 at Kansas City
Not surprisingly, Mariota saw his multiple-TD-games streak end last week against Denver as he threw for just 88 yards. The Titans, also unsurprisingly, went run heavy. Mariota was part of that, rushing for 38 yards. This week, he gets to head to one of the toughest places to play in the league, Kansas City. The Chiefs just limited Oakland's passing game to 117 yards and no TDs through the air. And Kansas City has allowed seven passing TDs in six home games. That doesn't bode well. The Chiefs will give up some yardage, however. Mariota won't be a star this week, but should bounce back for a better performance than last week. That said, he should be on your bench.

Week 12 at Chicago
Mariota threw for 290 yards and two scores last week, his seventh consecutive game with at least two touchdowns. He also had five runs for 29 yards and he has quietly joined the ranks of solid fantasy starters each week regardless of matchup. The Bears have allowed 15 TD passes this season but have given up just two 300-yard passing games. You have to hope Chicago can score enough to keep Tennessee's passing game engaged in this one or Mariota's touchdown streak could come to an end. He's a decent start this week but the Titans might go run heavy.

Week 10 vs Green Bay
Mariota is coming off a game in which he had a season-high 313 passing yards and also have three touchdowns to give him 13 in his past five games. Add in a rushing touchdown last week and he was very solid in a shootout at San Diego. This game figures to be a shootout, as well, and though Mariota is dealing with an ankle issue, he should be fine. He's a sneaky start this week against a so-so Green Bay pass defense.
