The Tennessee Titans won a wild game with the Jaguars this weekend and Marcus Mariota led the way with a fantastic performance to get the victory. Mariota had over 100 yards rushing, while Dorial Green-Beckham, Delanie Walker, Antonio Andrews and David Cobb all contributed on offense to get the win.
Mariota had one of the best games of the season for a quarterback against the Jaguars, completing 20-of-29 passes for 268 yards and three touchdowns while also rushing for 112 yards and another score. Mariota has been putting up very solid numbers for the Titans this season and the team feels that he is the real deal moving forward as the franchise quarterback. Mariota and the Titans now are 3-9 on the season and next week the team has the Jets and that could be a tough matchup for Mariota.
The fantasy playoffs are coming and while the team has a tough defensive task with the Jets, Mariota and Green-Beckham could be nice sleeper options to use. Beckham had a great game with five catches for 119 yards and a touchdown and he could be coming on after having an up and down season this year. Walker had eight catches in the game and a TD in the victory, while Andrews also scored a TD. Cobb had a solid game with 40 yards on 13 carries and he continues to get more work behind Andrews.

The Titans were a mess last season and while the offensive line still needs improvement, the offense has shown some growth with Mariota coming in. Oregon ran a unique offense in college and Mariota has been able to adjust and the team plans on having him work on things through the offseason when this season is over. Coming into the season Mariota was expected to start over Zach Mettenberger and he has proven that he deserved the chance with how he has played.
The Titans offense has dealt with injuries and changes this season, but players like Cobb, Andrews, Walker and Beckham give the team some solid options. Cobb was injured to start the season, but he was wildly productive in college and now is getting the chance to get some work behind Andrews for the Titans.
Cobb was one of the most productive players in college football last season and NFL.com writes that the team could end up using him more down the stretch as an option behind Andrews. Cobb came out of the fifth round and he is a big back that can take things up the middle. Green-Beckham has a ton of potential and if he can start being more consistent, Mariota could have a great redzone target for the future.
