Tennessee Titans QB Marcus Mariota won’t have a set number of run plays per game, according to head coach Mike Mularkey, but Mularkey said he wants Mariota’s running ability to be a threat to opposing defenses.

Footballguys View: If Mariota is running by design, it is likely out of the shotgun in a read option look, which was terrible for Demarco Murray’s fantasy numbers last year. Mariota being used as a runner by design would take an edge off of his fantasy numbers, but it might also reduce his chances of getting hurt.
