Titans-Jaguars fantasy football: The verdict on Marcus Mariota, Gardner Minshew

This week’s Thursday night barnburner between the Tennessee Titans and Jacksonville Jaguars presents fairly easy fantasy decisions.

Start the running backs: Derrick Henry and Leonard Fournette.

Don’t be afraid to use of either the Jaguars or Titans defense/special teams units.

And … that’s about it.

We don’t like either passing game, so we want to avoid Marcus Mariota and Gardner Minshew if at all possible. And some wet weather and moderate winds don’t enhance this situation.

Because we don’t like the passing games of either team, we also aren’t keen on any of the receivers, even the Jaguars’ D.J. Chark. Titans tight end Delanie Walker starts out of sheer necessity — because if you have him, he likely is your best option, but we prefer him in non-PPR leagues if possible.

Good luck, and protect your eyes, because this one could be ugly.
