| Isaiah Sirois FantasyPros | I like Tannehill this week, but I'm not convinced that he's a year-long QB1. While he ranks as the QB10 on the year so far, there's no way this level of production is sustainable. He just shouldn't be scoring this many touchdowns -- he's tied for the second-most passing scores (6), and he's thrown them at second-highest frequency in the league (one TD for every 11 passes). Only Russell Wilson is ahead of him in either stat. Yet the Titans only attempt 33.5 passing plays per game, the 13th-fewest in the league, so you can bet on some regression coming his way. Don't get me wrong, he's a great option at QB2, but you shouldn't let his strong start to 2020 lead you to believe that he's a viable QB1 every week. That said, he's my QB12 for Week 3 because of the Vikings' abysmal secondary. | |
| Mike Tagliere FantasyPros | When some drafted Stafford as the QB12 (or around there) and thought they were getting a top-five guy based on last year's limited sample size, they didn't expect this. He's currently the QB19 in fantasy, though missing Kenny Golladay has not been great. He's going to bounce back, though he was never going to be a top-five quarterback. He gets his best matchup of the year here, but oddly enough, the Cardinals defense as a whole has allowed the third-fewest fantasy points per game to opponents. Crazy, right? That's likely due to the competition, as the 49ers and Washington don't put up very many fantasy points. Suddenly, the Cardinals are getting to the quarterback, as they've generated a sack on 9.6 percent of dropbacks, which ranks as the fourth-highest mark in the league. The pressure is likely a big part of the reason they've allowed just a 57.6 percent completion rate, which ranks second to only the Steelers. Still, we can't forget what this defense looked like last year when they allowed 38 passing touchdowns and a 70 percent completion rate in the same exact scheme. The addition of Isaiah Simmons was a big one, but we can't pretend his three tackles are the reason for all that change. We essentially can't rely too much on a small sample from 2020 and oddsmakers agree. Stafford threw for 385 yards and three touchdowns when these teams met back in Week 1 of last year, finishing as the QB4 that week. If Golladay plays, Stafford deserves a bump into low-end QB1 territory. If Golladay sits again, he's still in the streaming conversation, but more of a high-end QB2. | It felt like we were back in 2019 again, as Tannehill was absurdly efficient against the Jaguars, completing 18-of-24 passes for 239 yards and four touchdowns. He did it without A.J. Brown, too, which made it that much more impressive. It was clear they sold out to stop Henry, allowing Tannehill to find his men sometimes uncovered. He's now thrown 28 touchdowns over his last 12 regular-season games as a starter. The Vikings defense is suddenly one to pick on in fantasy, as they've allowed the fourth-most fantasy points per game (111.4) through two weeks. It's balanced, too, as they've allowed 20.7 points per game to quarterbacks, while allowing 28.5 PPR points per game to running backs. They're still without their best pass rusher (Danielle Hunter) for at least one more week, and their defense took another hit last week when linebacker Anthony Barr tore his pectoral muscle and was announced as out for the year. Even with Barr, the Vikings have allowed a 73.9 percent completion-rate, 8.38 yards per attempt, and a 7.3 percent touchdown-rate. Those are all near the league high. The only concern with Tannehill is Henry taking over, but knowing the Vikings opponents have averaged 71.5 plays per game, there should be plenty to go around. Tannehill should be considered a low-end QB1/high-end QB2. |
| Kyle Yates FantasyPros | This game quietly could turn into a shootout and Stafford could be forced to throw the ball all over the yard. As of right now, there's optimism surrounding Golladay's ability to suit up in this matchup, which is a huge boost to Stafford's fantasy outlook. If Golladay plays, Stafford could be rolled out as a low-end QB1 in this one. | Tannehill was fantastic last week against the Jaguars defense and he now gets to face the Vikings unit that simply can't stop anyone. Even without A.J. Brown, who is expected to miss this game, Tanehill's a perfect streaming option again this week. |
| Derek Lofland FantasyPros | Arizona is 7th against fantasy quarterbacks and the Lions still have not had Kenny Golladay play this season. He is expected to suit up this week, which should make Stafford an upside QB2. | The Vikings are just 22nd against fantasy quarterbacks, Tannehill has a great matchup on the road against a below average Vikings D. |
