Will Ryan Tannehill be a Starting NFL QB in 2020?

[JoshGordonsDealer]

How would you value him in a normal League And in SF/2QB

He's a late QB2 imo. Safe option but not really a high upside bet at the moment. As long as Tennessee is looking to run it down teams' throats, his upside is capped.

I got a 2021 1st on the tabel in a 10 team league SF.

How much should he get in a SF

[Servo]

Most people in 2QB/SF probably had Tannehill as their QB2 or QB3 and then, you flirted with him being QB0...I wouldn't love him as my QB2 but if you have to, then you have to.

280 passes @ 70% completion rate, 22 tds and only 6 interceptions

I think they are likely to pass it a bit more.

A bit, but I could see regression in efficiency, too. They still plan to funnel the offense through Henry, so I agree his upside is capped. I think in Dynasty he's a mid to backend QB2, but for redraft, he could be higher, if he can get those points with his legs.

As someone who did not see Tannehill doing this, I think there is some room for optimism.

Even though Tennessee didn't throw it much and still probably won't, when they did, Tannehill led the league in yards per attempt at 9.6 and his aDOT was 9.5. So, the Titans will run it down your throat, but when you stack the box, they're going for big plays.

Tannehill was still only on pace for significantly less than 4,000 yards though. But, i think the Y/A number is interesting if you're looking at him as a bye week/streaming/DFS option depending on the matchup. But, if you're going into the season looking at him as a reliable starter, then I would look elsewhere.

Basically, whenever they play Jacksonville, roll out Tannehill.

I dont doubt that Henry is going to remain a focal point of the offense and that this is a run first team. However all it takes is an injury to Henry and that changes things quickly. Not to mention that the run first approach was a mandatory requirement with Mariota's struggles over the years, and perhaps with a bit more confidence in their QB they may look to take advantage of what is a very decent bunch of young receivers. I would not be surprised to see them draft another WR this year too given Davis has been disappointing (although I think with Brown around now it may give him some breathing room he has had a tough time with all the coverage)

I guess I am looking at things predominantly from a SF and 2QB perspective though. If you are playing in 1QB leagues then there is no reason to really consider making a move for him. I own him in a few SF leagues and I doubt anyone is going to pay for him, so I am happy to ride him this year and see if he repeats. If he does, his value will be a mid first by next year.

He started 10 games. In those games he had a full season pace of 4,150 yards, 35 TDs plus 290 rushing yards and 6 rushing TDs. He was the overall QB2 during that 10 game span. Given the new contract I think Tannehill is really underrated and should be viewed as a fringe QB1 going forward.

I cant believe how bad this guy used to be, talk about a resurgence. I remember one game I needed him to put up 10 points for me to win (I think in the playoffs) and he dropped a whole 4 points over the course of a 60 minute football game... I dropped him that week and never looked at him the same again, until I just happend to trade a 3rd rounder for him in a trade for jacobs (3 firsts and a third for jacobs and tennehill) super happy I decided to take a chance on him again after seeing that stat that he was QB since taking over for TEN, and glad I didnt pay a premium to get josh allen over him (who has been lights out, but the value was with tannehill in that situation)

Depending on Julio’s status, I may start him over MRyan week 6 and I should just start Tammy moving forward. When Tennessee is clicking, that is some enjoyable football to watch. It’s not quite to the embarrassing (for all other NFL teams) level of the 2019 Baltimore Ravens but it’s good.

[DLF3000]

Yeah, I drafted this bum years ago when he sucked... for years. Absolutely stunned he's so good now, in and out of fantasy.

That said, I'm more than ok not waiting 5+ years or whatever it was for one of my drafted QBs to be any good.

I think Tannehill is pretty much an auto start over Ryan at this point.

That's fair but he also could have been gotten off waivers in 1QB leagues last year, and people are still acting like he hasn't been amazing since starting in Tennessee.

Never underestimate the power of Adam Gase.
