BALLER MOVE: Stream in 14- and 16-Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 22% Fleaflicker
ANALYSIS: Ryan Tannehill should be a very popular pickup this week with a low ownership rate and a home date with the Jets. New York’s secondary is essentially a dream matchup for any quarterback nowadays, and in Week 9 we could see the Tannehill everyone was hoping to see this year. The Dolphins will be well-rested after a Week 8 bye, and that comes with the team riding major highs as the offense hit their stride against Pittsburgh and Baltimore in Weeks 6 and 7— Tannehill completed 24 of 32 passes for 252 years against the Steelers. Josh McCown destroyed the Jets’ pass defense in Week 8, throwing for 341 yards and two scores. Given that the Jets’ front seven could keep Jay Ajayi in check, Tannehill will likely be throwing the ball more often, and is an excellent fill-in option for those in need.
