Ryan Tannehill, QB, Miami Dolphins

Remember when Ryan Tannehill was in danger of losing his job? Well, that feels like a whole season ago now, and Tannehill continues to be a successful real life and fantasy quarterback. I've recommended him for the past few weeks, and he's still widely available in fantasy leagues.

In his past five games, Tannehill is averaging 21.6 fantasy points. Helping him get there is his rushing. Tannehill has rushed for at least 47 yards in four consecutive games. That's an extra passing touchdown in standard leagues per week.

The Lions defense is for real - there's no mistaking that - but Miami has won three straight, and Tannehill is playing like one of the league's elite fantasy quarterbacks. Drew Brees and Matt Ryan, Detroit's two most recent opponents, averaged 285.0 yards, 2.0 touchdowns, and 18.4 fantasy points. Tannehill doesn't have the name factor like those two, but he's playing just as well if not better than they are.
