Brandon Marshall & Eric Decker Week 14 Fantasy Value vs. Titans
“Offensively, we’ve got some good chemistry going right now”, Fitzpatrick said.
We didn’t tackle anyone, we made mistakes, we need to correct that, blah, blah, blah! He completed 21-of-36 passes for 263 yards and three touchdowns in the game. Former Texans kicker Randy Bullock, signed by NY when Nick Folk was injured last month, has been flawless (11 extra points, six field goals) over the past four games, since his acquisition. Mariota was sacked five times, including three times by DE Muhammad Wilkerson, and hit two more times.
After a stunning win last weekend that had some players and coaches tearing up during the celebration, the New York Jets are back in the playoff picture. “I’m just going to root for us and hope we do well”. Marshall raced up the right sideline for a 69-yard touchdown reception. Marshall is having a great first season with the Jets, as he has totaled 89 receptions, 1,187 receiving yards, and 11 receiving touchdowns.
On Fitzpatrick’s recent stretch of games: “I just think the guys are starting to gel with everyone”.
When Fitzpatrick gets knocked down, he begins to feel the pocket collapsing around him and has a tendency to make bad throws.
The inexperienced players the Tennessee Titans will be fielding have a distinct speed advantage which could work in their favor as both Marshall and Decker are not speed receivers. “I think that pretty much changed the mojo and changed everything”.
Despite a huge question mark at the quarterback position and a new head coach in Todd Bowles, the Jets have managed to put some wins together and are well-positioned for a wild card bid with four games to go in the season.
“It’s not acceptable; these will be the consequences if it happens”, Mularkey said. “The first half was a good example of if you play poorly in all three phases, you’re going to have a hard time against a good football team”.
On Tuesday, New York Jets receiver Brandon Marshall revealed to the media that he gave quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick a copy of Just Give Me the Damn Ball! for Christmas.
With temperatures an unseasonably warm 68 degrees at kickoff, the Jets got off to a roaring start. Chris Ivory is being used less now that Bilal Powell is fully healthy and is a more talented pass-catcher out of the backfield.
Searcy later left with a hamstring injury.
Late in the third quarter of this one, the Titans and Mariota were not really in a good way, down 27-0 to the Jets. The Titans are now 2-4 since Mularkey replaced Ken Whisenhunt.
“It was a good throw today”, Mularkey said of Andrews’ pass. “It was a better throw than he threw during the week”. The Titans can now officially look toward what they’ll do with another top-five pick – though who will be making that pick is decidedly unknown.
The Titans managed only 15 first downs on the day, with most of those coming in the second half after interim head coach Mike Mularkey did a little yelling at half time. The play might not have resulted in anything if S Calvin Pryor hadn’t slipped racing over to cover Mariota.
“This is what we wanted”, said Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis, who returned after missing two games with a concussion.
Bowles joked that maybe Fitzpatrick should completely shave off his beard because of how well he played over the last three weeks by trimming it. The quarterback, however, would rather talk about his statistics than take more hair off his face. With Wilkerson’s contract expiring after this season, and the way he’s been playing the Jets would be insane not to make every effort to retain him.
NOTES: The Titans were held to 24 yards rushing on 13 carries….
