Yeah, he came close a couple times plus had 10 targets in his 2nd game back from injury. Future definitely looks promising.
I thought he played like a wimp. This TO clone or whatever comparison you wanna roll with from earlier....he got nudged by the DB and was off his route several times. Watch on gamepass if ya can. Scrawny DB barely bumps him and he's about done at that point. I thought there were a few overthrows live but watching it again, I don't know that there were any other than the obvious throw aways to avoid pressure. It was real weak and from a supposed tough rugged WR too.
I almost wanna see offensive pass interference next week.
Get him in a lob situation and he can outmuscle and outleap anyone. Running up the field, a little bump renders him useless? Cmon!
From Faust's article
“Ball security is obviously a huge topic all of the time,” Titans coach Mike Mularkey said.
“I just said, ‘As big as you are, the next time it happens again’ – it’s an experience that he’s going to learn from – ‘next time put your shoulder down and barrel in.”
That play was a 20 point swing for me.When one play can make a good fantasy day into a horrible one.
I see him being the best buy low WR in redraft for ROS.I can see him having a good game this Thursday vs. PIT.
Thoughts on why you think so? Steelers play a 3-4 zone. I can see him doing well too.I can see him having a good game this Thursday vs. PIT.
After only allowing 4 WRs to score 10+ PPR points on them in the first 7 weeks, they've allowed 5 (Marvin 18.8, Tate 15.6, T.J 12.8, Moncrief 13, Chester Rogers 22.7) to score 10+ over the past 2 weeks. It seems like the floodgates have opened although I'm not exactly sure why. So although PIT is allowing the 4th fewest PPG to WRs on the season I don't think that's indicative of the match-up moving forward. BAL and CIN were legitimately bad match-ups, I don't think PIT is.Thoughts on why you think so? Steelers play a 3-4 zone. I can see him doing well too.
As a Mariota owner in a dogfight going into tonight, I'm none too thrilled either.When one play can make a good fantasy day into a horrible one.
I watched the highlights. Steelers safety was getting burned. Bad reads and miscommunication lead to the Moncrief and Rogers TD. The safety was getting juked and bit the wrong lead all day. With a 3-4 zone safety is the key. Titans better use play action. Cause if they do Corey will eat on matchups against the middle.After only allowing 4 WRs to score 10+ PPR points on them in the first 7 weeks, they've allowed 5 (Marvin 18.8, Tate 15.6, T.J 12.8, Moncrief 13, Chester Rogers 22.7) to score 10+ over the past 2 weeks.

Yup. If he makes those plays he's the talk of fantasy right now and everyone burning faab, waiver to get him.The film does not lie. Corey Davis should have had 130+ yards and 3 TDs. Mariota missed him on two would have been TDs.

On this play the defense went off sides so the Titans had a free play. If Mariota placed a better ball Davis would have scored or at least gotten 30 yards.

This was a sure TD. Davis beat his defender and he was WIDE OPEN. Mariota chucked it too far. There was a holding penalty on the DB when Davis crossed his route but not enough to hold him back. Davis is too strong. That would have been an easy 63 yard TD.
Seriously ya'll. All the attention going to that fumble at the goal line. Corey was schooling in this game. The Bungles D is supposed to be good too.

The first one Mariota had an obvious free play on an offsides, he HAS to put that ball on Corey. Given the ball skills he's flashed even if it's underthrown, there's a good chance he can make a play and obviously no downside if the DB makes a play. The second one is the killer for me. Mariota looks to release it just before or simultaneously with the hold on Davis. Can't really put that on the qb who threw what would have been a perfect ball or on Davis, who fought through the contact and got wide open. Just unfortunate that the DB slowed him enough.The film does not lie. Corey Davis should have had 130+ yards and 3 TDs. Mariota missed him on two would have been TDs.

So, bad QB play or the two aren't in rhythm together? Either way, that also hurts Davis' prospects in redraft.The film does not lie. Corey Davis should have had 130+ yards and 3 TDs. Mariota missed him on two would have been TDs.

That thought certainly crossed my mind, as well.So, bad QB play or the two aren't in rhythm together? Either way, that also hurts Davis' prospects in redraft.
If we're talking about Hundley or Osweiler throwing the ball then yes. However, Mariota throws a decent deep ball. What's important here is air yards and target share. Corey is up there for the Titans. The break out is coming.So, bad QB play or the two aren't in rhythm together? Either way, that also hurts Davis' prospects in redraft.
I agree that the breakout is coming... I'm just not sure that it will be here quick enough to help FF owners this year.That thought certainly crossed my mind, as well.
However, those two highlights were definitely low-probability connections any way you look at it IMO.
The positive I would take away is the targets...either because Davis demonstrates great ability to get open...and/or Mariota looks his way when he's in trouble. Both bode well for the future.
If the targets are there, the stats won't be far behind.
Agreed. If he was a "maybe" for anyone last week, then he should be a must-start this week.Haden is out. He might feast on Pittsburgh
The infamous TD fumble was a short route which he turned up the field 19 yards.I didn't watch him last week with the 10 targets but did he run any short/intermediate routes? Curls, shallow crosses, and sit downs in zones that sort of thing? That seems more Matthews territory to me but I could be wrong. If that is Davis doing it then he'll feast against Pittsburgh. As a Steeler fan that hurts me to say.

Interesting choice with a guy that has a career high of 6 for 69 and is averaging 11.5 per catch.I am considered the underdog in this week's match up so I will likely roll with Davis this week and hope for a long TD or 2
Targets trending upward, game situation will likely be in favor of Tenn passing, looks like a legit stud to me and I trust Mariota more than most.Interesting choice with a guy that has a career high of 6 for 69 and is averaging 11.5 per catch.
Not razzing the pick- I do think he will be good moving forward.
Oh I know, I am a fan and have been holding in redraft for a couple weeks. I am just not sure we can say he is an upside play yet.Targets trending upward, game situation will likely be in favor of Tenn passing, looks like a legit stud to me and I trust Mariota more than most.
Not sure that it matters for FF, but one series has been all him each game (maybe a single run to break it up but...). Outside of that, he's clearly third behind Matthews and Walker. I imagine they're trying to get him going. He hasn't really been successful at these times, so maybe if he does get hot there will be a big uptick the rest of the gameCorey Davis target share in games he's fully healthy (Week 1, 9-10) Davis (22%), Rishard Matthews (20%), Delanie Walker (20%), Deric Decker (13%) and Titans RBs (12%).

You're bold my friend. Don't have the stones to play Davis over Woods in PPR.Starting him over Woods. I have a good feeling about tonight.
