Ryan Tannehill, Mike Wallace, Brian Hartline's Post-Week 6 Fantasy Reaction

One of the biggest surprises of Week 6 was the performance of the Miami Dolphins against the Green Bay Packers, including the success of the team’s passing attack. Unfortunately, Aaron Rodgers and the Packers were just too good and Miami lost the game.   

Led by Ryan Tannehill, Miami went punch for punch with Green Bay, and the quarterback finished the day with 227 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. While Tannehill’s success is good news for the team, fantasy owners should only be starting him in the deeper leagues.

Player	Completions	Attempts	Yards	Touchdowns	Interceptions
Ryan Tannehill	20	31	231	2	2

Mike Wallace is the team’s deep threat and he came up big Sunday as well. With five receptions for 67 yards and one touchdown, Wallace continues to prove he is a WR2 in standard scoring leagues and is making a case to be a WR1 once again.

Player	Targets	Receptions	Yards	Touchdowns
Mike Wallace	9	5	67	1
Brian Hartline	2	0	0	0

As well as Wallace played, owners with Brian Hartline were utterly disappointed by his performance on Sunday. He was only targeted twice, but was unable to haul in any catches. The zero points in fantasy should have owners exercising other options.

Consistency is a huge part of fantasy football, and owners with Hartline understand that it’s too hard to predict when he will be a viable threat. Even in the deepest leagues, Hartline is a risk not worth taking.
