Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill heads into Week 8 against the Patriots with a shoulder injury, but the expectation is that it will not limit him. That is good, because Miami may need to throw it to have a chance this Sunday.
The Patriots have done a good job defending the pass this season, but that hasn't stopped their opponents from trying to move the ball through the air. Opposing teams are attempintg 36.1 passes per game against New England, but the Patriots are holding quarterbacks to just 14.6 Fantasy points per game, the sixth-lowest total in the league.
Tannehill struggled in a pair of contests against the Patriots as a rookie, combining for 421 passing yards while completing 51.6 percent of his passes without a touchdown. The Dolphins may air it out against the Patriots, but Fantasy owners should not expect big numbers from Tannehill.
