Even though they got the win, the Miami Dolphins didn’t look great in Week 1. A lot of pundits have quarterback Ryan Tannehill as a breakout, so subsequently he was picked as a guy who would start fast to kick off the year. Unfortunately that didn’t happen, with Tannehill only posting 226 passing yards, one touchdown and no interceptions on 22-of-34 passing.
Fantasy start/sit advice, Week 2: Ryan Tannehill looks to bounce back
Ryan Tannehill was a little bit of a letdown in Week 1. Can his fantasy owners expect him to turn it around?
On the surface, that looks bad against a sub-par Washington secondary. However, it was a very windy game, which usually costs a quarterback some production because it’s harder to throw the ball down the field — the threat of throwing down the field also decreases, which makes it easier to draw up defenses.
This week, the Dolphins are on the road again and will face another favorable matchup in the Jacksonville Jaguars. On top of the easy matchup, safety Jonathan Cyprien is unlikely to play, so the Dolphins will have more chances to tear the top off the defense.
Fantasy impact: Assuming the weather holds up — it should — Tannehill should have a much better game and can be viewed as a QB8-12.
