Marcus Mariota, QB, Tennessee Titans

A top sleeper option at quarterback last week, Marcus Mariota came through with 228 yards and 2 touchdowns via the air, while adding 21 yards on the ground and even 1 reception for 21 yards through the air.

That earned him 22.3 fantasy points (21.3 if you're not in a point-per-reception league), good for a QB6 finish in fantasy. That was on the heels of a QB7 (22.2 fantasy point) performance in Week 9, and it's a bit of a head-scratcher that the now-healthy Mariota is still available in over 60% of leagues.

A matchup with the Indianapolis Colts isn't anything special -- they allow the 14th-most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks and rank 12th against the pass by numberFire's metrics -- but it's also no worse than what he's been up against recently.

His Week 9 opponent (the Dallas Cowboys) do rank much lower than the Colts against the pass -- sitting 27th by our metrics -- though they do only allow the 16th-most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks, giving up less production than the Colts. The New England Patriots rank better than Indy against the pass, sitting seventh in our rankings, and they weren't able to slow Mariota down at all.
