Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill has been a mish-mash of good and bad the last two weeks. While he has two straight sub-200 yard passing games, he's also thrown for multiple touchdowns in both. And while he's thrown two interceptions in each game, Tannehill's pass attempts were among his three most in 2013.
It all adds up to a season without a game over 19 Fantasy points. But he has managed performances of 16, 17, 18, and 19. He's tantalizingly close to being good, but Tannehill just can't get over that hump.
It's safe to expect more of the same in Week 9 for a Thursday night game against Cincinnati. The Bengals have been wildly uneven this season, allowing opposing quarterbacks to score five, 25, 32, and seven Fantasy points in their last four games. And things have been unpredictable on top of that -- Tom Brady was that five-point game, while Thad Lewis had the 25.
Even with plenty of quarterbacks on bye this week, Tannehill hasn't shown enough to earn a starting spot. He's best left on benches in most leagues.
