The Indianapolis Colts, winners of four straight, host a Miami Dolphins team coming off a bye that may have Ryan Tannehill back this week. Tannehill has missed the past five games with a shoulder injury, although was reported to have made positive strides over the bye week.

Regardless of who is under center for the Dolphins, they may have trouble keeping pace with the high-scoring Colts in Indy. The Colts are 9.5-point favorites at home and are averaging 29.8 points per game, fifth-most in the league.

Neither quarterback has been particularly impressive for the 5-5 Dolphins. Prior to his injury, Tannehill had as many turnovers (8) as touchdowns on the season. He also took 11 sacks over his 5 starts, including multiple sacks in three games. Brock Osweiler hasn't been much better in his five starts. Like Tannehill, he's committed as many turnovers (5) as touchdowns thrown and he's taken 16 sacks over his starts.

On the season, the Dolphins have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing defenses, making the Colts an attractive streaming option in Week 12. The Colts have forced 19 turnovers this season, fifth-most through 11 weeks.
