Ryan Tannehill appreciation / my fantasy year in a nutshell

Sorry so long.

I never would’ve dreamed that Tannehill would’ve brought me so far. I started the season with Phillip Rivers and Derek Carr as my QB’s. We play in a 12 man deep bench league that is ultra competitive. Used my picks early on RB’s & WR’s, was waiting for a decent QB to get late. I passed on Lamar round after round. I didn’t believe he would be anymore than a run first QB. Every week I was kicking myself on how good my team really would’ve been.

I realized after week 3, if I didn’t trade/ find a QB I was not going to make the playoffs. The issue I had was injuries to my WR’s. Fuller, Ty Williams, AJ Green, Theilan. We play 3 WRs no flex, so it was a struggle to fill in at times. This also meant I couldn’t trade my RB’s because Jacobs and Chubb were leading the stable and carrying the team with a lack of decent wr points. I was stuck with chasing QB’s on the waiver wire. I can’t count all of the QB’s I picked up who I didn’t start. I do know my starters went from Rivers to Danny Dimes to Minshew until Foles came back, back to Rivers found Tannehill until his bye week which lead me starting Rivers for 1 more week and then riding Tannehill no matter what.

I’ve made the playoffs over the years many times going back to the mid 90’s. I would say the amount of luck, and timing of the waiver pick ups I made and foreseen throughout the season, mainly the last half , had to be my best managed, but most stressful fantasy season ever.

Tannehill saved his career and my fantasy team this season and my wallet and I thank him. Special shout out goes to Pittsburgh D for winning me a few games and Tyler Boyd in the championship making up for all the bummed out starts.
