Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill was completely held in check on the ground in Week 10 against the Lions, so it should come as little surprise that it also resulted in his worst Fantasy showing of the season in a loss.
Tannehill has ridden his legs to the best stretch of his career heading into Sunday's game, but he couldn't shake loose against a tough Lions' defense. He had just one run for 0 yards Sunday, after 45.4 yards per game on the ground in his previous five games. Coupled with a subpart game through the air, and Tannehill ended up with just 12 Fantasy points Sunday, his lowest total yet.
Tannehill is just a so-so passer at this point in his career, but the Dolphins had found success getting him moving recently. His struggles Sunday might just be the result of a Lions' defense that dominates at the line of scrimmage, so we're not quite ready to give up on Tannehill.
However, his Week 11 matchup, Buffalo, also pushes opposing offensive lines around, and Tannehill has struggled against them in his career. Losing starting left tackle Branden Albert won't help, so consider Tannehill a risky play against a Bills defense that limited him to 14 Fantasy points in their last matchup.
