Marcus Mariota, Tennessee Titans, $5,500

Stats: 1,498 passing yards, 7 touchdowns, 238 rushing yards, 2 touchdowns

Marcus Mariota is a Swiss army knife when it comes to the quarterback position. He won’t have big gaudy numbers each and every week, but it’s possible in the right matchup. Week 11 is that matchup against an Indianapolis Colts defense that is 24th-ranked against the pass heading into this divisional showdown.

Under new head coach Mike Vrabel, the Titans have been surprisingly good. However, the Colts have been hot lately, winners of three in a row, thanks to a healthy Andrew Luck. This game has the makings to be a barnburner at Lucas Oil Stadium. Mariota has a cheap price and is the perfect DraftKings candidate for high-value plays.

With Mariota it’s not so much about his stat lines as it is his overall presence on the field. Sometimes we come across players who just make their teams better. Mariota is that guy for the Titans. This matchup does offer up a lot of upside for Mariota and this offense who now coming off a win against the New England Patriots, seem to be clicking on all cylinders.

For what it’s worth Mariota, is averaging 187 passing yards and 30 rushing yards per game. The Colts defense is giving up 376 total yards, 268 passing yards and 107 rushing yards per game. The Titans should have no problems moving the ball up and down the field in this important showdown. The winner of this contest will sit as the top challenger in the South behind the Houston Texans.

Prediction: 250 passing yards, 50 rushing yards, 3 total touchdowns
