Ryan Tannehill, Mike Wallace, Brian Hartline's Post-Week 12 Fantasy Reaction

Tim KeeneyNov 23, 2014

It's probably time for fantasy owners to accept Ryan Tannehill as a legitimate QB1.

The third-year quarterback continued his recent red-hot play on Sunday, going into Denver and putting up a very potent performance. Although the Broncos came back to earn the win in real life, Tannehill likely led many fantasy owners to victories:

Perhaps more important than the numbers, ESPN's Louis Riddick and NFL.com's Daniel Jeremiah noted that Tannehill is passing the eye test:

Tannehill is really thriving under new offensive coordinator Bill Lazor, Chip Kelly's former assistant who emphasizes a fast-paced attack and short, easy passes. In an offense that tailors to his strenghts, and with a tantalizing dual-threat skill set, the scorching 26-year-old is a clear top-10 option the rest of the way.

His receivers won't be ranked nearly as high because of a system that spreads the ball around, but there are a couple who are certainly benefiting from Tannehill's emergence:

Jarvis Landry11750217.0
Mike Wallace543519.5
Brian Hartline223903.9

Mike Wallace and Jarvis Landry should both be viewed as WR2 options moving forward. The former has proven to be quite reliable this season, but the burgeoning rookie has a higher upside, especially in PPR leagues.

As for Brian Hartline, he continues to move his way down the depth chart and can safely be dropped if you haven't done so already.
