Marcus Mariota Not A Lock To Start In Week 1
5 years agoTennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota has all along been expected to start in Week 1, but a report from ESPN football insider Dianna Russini states that Mariota is "not a lock" to start in Week 1 against the Browns. “There’s a tone in Tennessee right now that this coaching staff just wants a quarterback to go out there and be the best quarterback there,” Russini said Monday. “Meaning it is not a lock that this is Marcus Mariota’s job.” Ryan Tannehill would be the starter if the Titans make this shocking move. Mariota is in the final year of his rookie contract and is coming off back-to-back mediocre seasons. He's also dealt with injuries off and on. Tennessee is a run-first unit, and neither Tannehill nor Mariota should excite fantasy owners very much.
