Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill had himself a big game last week, but it's not going to be enough to get the Dolphins into the playoffs. He threw for four touchdowns and nearly 400 yards against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 16.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 17: Ryan Tannehill
Ryan Tannehill is one of the hottest quarterbacks in the NFL and has a nice matchup. Should fantasy owners trust him this week?

He'll also get a terrific matchup against the New York Jets in Week 17. However, Tannehill was a massive letdown against the Jets back in Week 13, with just 235 passing yards, no scores and one interception. The Jets are the fifth-easiest matchup for fantasy quarterbacks, but they have actually been much better lately. They limited New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady to only one passing score and 182 yards in Week 16.
Tannehill is also better at home, so he has that working in his favor. He is one of a few QBs who has a great matchup and doesn’t have to worry about getting pulled to rest for the playoffs.
Fantasy impact: He’s a risky, QB10-14 this week for standard leagues, so he’s not a must-play or anything.
