Scouting report

TEN QB Ryan Tannehill - 2020 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
After taking over fulltime for Marcus Mariota in Week 7 last season, Ryan Tannehill finished with a 7-3 record, leading his team to within a game of the Super Bowl. On the year he played in 12 games, totaling over 2,700 passing yards and 22 TDs versus only six INTs. He remained a weapon with his legs too, rushing for 185 yards and four more scores. Tannehill threw for over 300 yards three times with multiple touchdown tosses in nine of the 10 games he started. During his career he has tossed for over 4,000 yards twice and posted a career-most 27 TDs in ’14.

Fantasy Downside
With the Titans in the lead for much of the three playoff games Tannehill became a game-manager, totaling just 369 yards through the air – although he did account for six TDs in those contests. The 32-year-old failed to reach 200 passing yards in four of his 10 regular season starts and was sacked 31 times in 11 of the outings in which he played at least a half. The Titans are a run-first offense, which limits the number of pass plays Tannehill receives.

Bottom Line
With the help of Derrick Henry keeping defenses honest last season, Tannehill completed 70 percent of his passes for 9.6 yards per attempt – both career highs. During his first four professional seasons he averaged 3,865 yards through the air and 23 total TDs. With one of the most explosive WRs in A.J. Brown, Tannehill’s numbers can skyrocket with just a few short passes. Heading into the ’20 season, Tannehill is a QB2 option, but has the potential to move into the QB1 territory based on his performance since becoming a starter with Tennessee.

TEN QB Ryan Tannehill - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Houston Texans
Ryan Tannehill continued his hot play last week with 272 yards and three touchdowns. That was his sixth consecutive game with multiple touchdowns, making him a viable fantasy play each week. He just faced the Texans two weeks ago at home and threw for 279 yards and two scores while rushing for another, so that's probably right around the floor. The Titans need a win to get into the postseason, so there's no doubt Tannehill is going to be motivated. He's a QB1 play this week.

TEN QB Ryan Tannehill - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. New Orleans Saints
Ryan Tannehill threw for 279 yards and a touchdown with one interception and also ran for 10 yards and a score, giving you nice bang for the buck if he was in your lineup last week. The Saints have allowed 23 touchdown passes and, just as importantly, four rushing touchdowns to opposing quarterbacks this season. Tannehill also could be playing from behind in this game. He's a top start this week at home, having thrown for at least two touchdowns in each of his past five starts.

TEN QB Ryan Tannehill - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Houston Texans
Have we seen enough Ryan Tannehill to know he's the real deal in this offense? Sure. Especially with a smash matchup this week. Tannehill threw for 391 yards and three touchdowns with one interception in a similar matchup last week with a soft Raiders defense. Tannehill has produced at least two touchdown passes in six of his seven starts. The Texans should score in this one to keep Tannehill throwing, as well. He's a solid, if surprising, QB1 play this week.

TEN QB Ryan Tannehill - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Oakland Raiders
Ryan Tannehill has continued his efficient play, throwing for 182 yards and two touchdowns last week while completing 17 of 22 passes. He also ran for another 42 yards, a bonus for the athletic former college receiver. Tannehill faces the Raiders this week, and though it's in Oakland, only two teams have been worse defending quarterbacks in fantasy football this season. Tannehill is a sneaky start this week, especially if your regular starter has a tough matchup.

TEN QB Ryan Tannehill - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at Indianapolis Colts
Ryan Tannehill continued his redemption tour with an efficient 259-yard, two-touchdown game against the Jaguars last week in a game in which he also rushed for 40 yards and two more scores. The Colts will provide a stiffer test this week, but Tannehill has been good since taking over for Marcus Mariota. He's also averaged 286 passing yards and a touchdown in four career starts against Indianapolis. Tannehill is definitely a guy who should be owned in all formats, but is probably a high-end QB2 this week on the road.

TEN QB Ryan Tannehill - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
Ryan Tannehill has been efficient for the most part in his first four starts, throwing multiple touchdown passes or for 300 yards in each of his starts. The Jaguars sacked Marcus Mariota nine times when these two teams met earlier in the season, but that was before everyone realized how easy it was to run all over the Jaguars. They're a little less daunting to throw it against without Jalen Ramsey, as well, but this could be a heavy dose of Derrick Henry, holding Tannehill's numbers down.
