FanDuel Salary Changes: Week 11

Marcus Mariota, QB, Tennessee Titans

FanDuel Price: $8,000
Salary Change: Up $600

To say Marcus Mariota has been fire emoji hot lately would be an understatement. He’s scored 18 total touchdowns in his last six games, including a 27.8-point effort on FanDuel last week where he was on many GPP-winning teams.

Now, his salary is up $600 in Week 11 as he’ll travel to Indianapolis to face the Colts. It’s a great matchup for Mariota -- the Colts are allowing the fifth-most FanDuel points (21.2 per game) to opposing quarterbacks this season, giving up at least 20 FanDuel points in four of their nine games.

This game also features the highest Vegas total of the week at 53 points, so there should be plenty of scoring to go around. The only concern here is this is the second time that Mariota has played the Colts this season. In general, quarterbacks perform worse in their second matchup with a divisional opponent, scoring 2.0 less FanDuel points on average than in the first matchup.

Mariota has a high floor this weekend and is likely safe for cash games, but his projected high ownership and second matchup with Indianapolis should remove him from tournament consideration.
