8 Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 9

Ryan Tannehill, QB, Miami Dolphins

Ryan Tannehill has had a rough season so far, but he draws one of his easiest matchups of the year this week against the New York Jets, who rank 29th in Adjusted Defensive Passing Net Expected Points (NEP) per play. The only time he played a worse-ranked defense, he threw for three touchdowns against the Cleveland Browns.

Of the eight quarterbacks the Jets have faced this season, three of them posted their highest fantasy total of the year against New York, and the Jets have allowed the ninth-most fantasy points per game to the position.

You're never going to be excited about playing Tannehill. But with six teams on bye this week, your options are limited, and the matchup alone makes Tannehill a solid play.
