The scouting report on QB Ryan Tannehill coming out of Texas A&M said he was a capable passer when under pressure. That was certainly the case during his 2012 rookie campaign with the Dolphins. Pro Football Focus ranked him as the 4th-best QB in the NFL when under pressure -- behind only Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson and Peyton Manning. Tannehill completed 51% of his passes, averaged 7.1 yards per attempt and tossed 3 TDs vs. 4 INTs when pressured. The Fins have added a few more weapons to his arsenal this offseason. The offensive line remains a concern. But perhaps his protection won't matter as much as we think. Tannehill is worth targeting as a QB2 flier near the end of fantasy drafts this summer.
Titans QB Ryan Tannehill will start Sunday's finale vs. the Jaguars, HC Mike Vrabel said. Rookie Will Levis (foot) will be the No. 3 QB for the game. Tannehill has some DFS tournament appeal against a pass-funnel Jacksonville defense that ranks 27th in adjusted fantasy points allowed to QBs.
On Wednesday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that the Titans have officially ruled out QB Ryan Tannehill (ankle) for Week 9 vs. the Steelers. Rookie QB Will Levis will get the start. We'd already expected Levis to see the field on Thursday night, so this news doesn't really come as much of a shock. The former Kentucky signal-caller performed well in his NFL debut in Week 8, tossing 238 passing yards and 4 TDs against the Falcons. He'll be hard-pressed to repeat that showing against a much tougher Steelers defense. See where Levis slots in our latest QB rankings.
Titans QB Ryan Tannehill (ankle) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Falcons. HC Mike Vrabel said early in the week that he’d use both QB Will Levis and QB Malik Willis in this one, but NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said Wednesday that Levis will be the “primary QB.” Regardless, you should try to avoid the entire Titans passing game in fantasy lineups this week.
Titans QB Ryan Tannehill has been diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Tannehill gets a Week 7 bye "but could miss time," Fowler adds. We'll keep an eye on Tannehill when Tennesse gets back to work next week. HC Mike Vrabel wouldn't say Monday whether QB Malik Willis or QB Will Levis would start if Tannehill misses time.
Titans HC Mike Vrabel said Monday that QB Ryan Tannehill's right ankle injury is similar to the one he initially suffered last season that cost him two games. "We'll see how it goes," Vrabel said. "We have some time here before our next game, and Ryan will get treatment around the clock. This will be a big week to see how he progresses, and then we'll make a decision on his availability next week and what we do then." Tannehill gets a well-timed Week 7 bye, but it sounds like there's a chance he's not ready for Week 8. Vrabel didn't say whether QB Malik Willis or QB Will Levis will start if Tannehill is out. Neither is an inspiring option.
