Marcus Mariota hasn't been the prettiest quarterback of the year but he had fought his way to two decent fantasy weeks.  Mariota fantasy owners can feel confident playing him in week 3 verse the Raiders.  

The Oakland Raiders have struggled to defend through the air but have remained tough in the middle.  The Raiders might be able to stop Mariota on the run but they won't be able to stop him through the air.  Look for Mariota to have a big game against a secondary that has given up 300 yards a week to QB's. 

Matty Ryan and Drew Brees have played exceptionally well against the Raiders defense.  So, are you confident starting Mariota in week 3?
