Ryan Tannehill (TEN) vs Cincinnati Bengals
Available win 92% of ESPN Leagues
Tannehill is coming off two solid fantasy outings since returning from injury. In Week 10 against Denver he finished with 255 yards passing, two touchdowns and 19.4 fantasy points. Traveling to Green Bay on a short week, Tannehill finished Week 11 with 20 fantasy points which came from 333 passing yards and two touchdowns.
Playing against the Bengals is nothing to shy away from. They have allowed 25.5 points per game against opposing teams over their last two games. To date they have only faced one good quarterback for a full game: Lamar Jackson. This likely explains the Bengals elite data against fantasy quarterbacks. So far Cincy allows 14.6-FPPG to opposing quarterbacks, that is eighth-best.
Tennessee is playing very well and they seem to have worked things out for their passing game. Tannehill is not someone to bet the mortgage on, but there are limited streaming options this week and he is one of the better ones.
Derek Carr (LV) @ Seattle Seahawks
Available in 44% of ESPN Leagues
Allowing 17.8-FPPG to opposing quarterbacks over their last seven games, the Seahawks get the opportunity to take on Derek Carr and the Raiders. Carr has not been anything special this season and is averaging 15.91-FPPG, a middling amount.
Over his last three games, Carr has improved for fantasy. In that time he is the QB5 overall and his FPPG average is 18.85 in that span. Seattle is not the best match-up on paper but the Raiders offense is starting to find better form of late.
Carr is a player who usually finishes around his projection so I would not expect a big performance. But with his availability on waivers, he is an easy plug and play for 16-to-19 fantasy points.
Jimmy Garoppolo (SF) vs New Orleans Saints
Available in 55% of ESPN Leagues
The overall fantasy finishes of Jimmy G over his last six games: 9, 9, 9, 14, 19, 5. Facing off against the Cardinals this week presents an excellent match-up for streaming purposes too.
In their last five games, the Cardinals have generously allowed 22.1-FPPG to opposing quarterbacks. That is 29th in the NFL in that time. Additionally, in those five games Arizona has surrendered an average of 5.9 fantasy points above expectation, 2nd worse in the NFL.
Of late, this Cardinals defense cannot stop opposing quarterbacks. They have allowed 28-plus fantasy points twice in their last four games.
