ESPN's Brooke Pryor suggests that the Pittsburgh Steelers could opt to bring in Tennessee Titans impending free-agent quarterback Ryan Tannehill as a short-term fix at the position if they want to give Kenny Pickett more time to develop in 2024. It makes some sense given Tannehill's success in offensive coordinator Arthur Smith's system in Tennessee -- Tannehill earned his lone Pro Bowl nod in 2019 with Smith running the offense. However, Tannehill is now 35 years old and wouldn't have the type of aerial weapons that he did when he had a career-best season in Tennessee. Pittsburgh has also expressed interest in re-signing Mason Rudolph, who was more efficient after taking over for Pickett while leading the team to a playoff berth.
Ryan Tannehill Looks Solid In Likely Last Game With Titans
Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill completed 17 of his 26 passes for 168 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in the Week 18 upset win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. It was likely Tannehill's final game with the organization, and he did enough to knock the Jaguars out of the playoffs. The 35-year-old is unlikely to land a starting job in the offseason, but he could serve as a bridge quarterback or draw a start or two next season due to injuries. There's a low chance he's on the fantasy radar in single-QB formats next year, but deep Superflex league fantasy managers should monitor his landing spot in free agency.
Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill will make the start in the Week 18 regular season finale on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars instead of rookie Will Levis, who injured his foot in the Week 17 loss to the Houston Texans. With the Titans already eliminated from the postseason, they've elected to give the 35-year-old Tannehill one final start in what is expected to be his final game with the organization. He'll have a lot of incentive to play well in front of the home faithful as the Titans look to spoil the Jaguars' playoff hopes. Tannehill also started in Week 16 with Levis sidelined, and he's gone 34-for-46 for 320 yards, no touchdowns or interceptions in the last two weeks. He'll be playing with a lot of emotions this weekend but won't be a recommended DFS sleeper at the QB position.
Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill could be in line to start in the team's season finale against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. Rookie quarterback Will Levis (foot) suffered a foot injury in the Week 17 loss to the Houston Texans and did not return after exiting. Tannehill went on to complete 16 of his 20 passing attempts for 186 yards, no touchdowns, and no interceptions. If Levis can't play on Sunday, Tannehill will draw the start in what is likely to be his last game with the organization. The 35-year-old had a great run with Tennessee, but his contract is up after this season, and he's no longer viewed as the franchise quarterback. Tannehill remains off the fantasy or DFS radar this week after throwing just two touchdowns in eight appearances this season.
Ryan Tannehill Throws For 168 Yards In Week 17 Loss
Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill completed 16 of his 20 passing attempts for 168 yards, no touchdowns, and no interceptions in the Week 17 blowout loss to the Houston Texans. Tannehill came in for an injured Will Levis (foot), who was dealing with a high-ankle sprain heading into Sunday. There's a good chance Levis will be held out of Week 18 as a precaution, meaning Tannehill would start against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Next week could be Tannehill's final game as a Titan. Neither Tennessee quarterback belongs on the fantasy radar.
Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill completed 18 of his 26 passing attempts for 152 yards, no touchdowns, and no interceptions in the Week 16 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. The veteran has just two passing touchdowns in eight games this year, so he remains off the fantasy radar if he draws another start next week. Will Levis (ankle) is dealing with a high-ankle sprain, so who will start against Houston in Week 17 is to be determined.
Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill will draw the start in Week 16 versus the Seattle Seahawks, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. This comes in the wake of an injury to Will Levis (ankle), who practiced on Friday but is expected to be inactive this week. Tannehill, of course, started the Titans' first six games of the season before a combination of injury and poor performance led to his benching during the bye week. He had struggled drastically as the starter, completing just 62 percent of his passes for 1,128 yards, two touchdowns, and six interceptions. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect anything special from him during Sunday's spot start. He remains off the fantasy radar while top pass-catcher DeAndre Hopkins falls to the low-end WR2 range.
Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said that quarterback Ryan Tannehill will be the team's starting QB on Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks if rookie Will Levis (ankle) is not available. Levis suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 15's overtime loss to the Houston Texans and is now firmly in danger of sitting out this weekend. For what it's worth, Levis was unable to practice on Wednesday, allowing Tannehill to take first-team snaps. The 35-year-old dealt with a high-ankle sprain of his own earlier this year and missed three games, allowing Levis to take over the starting role in his first NFL season. Tannehill looked washed up in six starts earlier this year before getting hurt, going 98-for-158 for 1,128 yards, two touchdowns and six interceptions. He'll be a low-upside, low-end QB2 in superflex leagues if he makes the start against Seattle.
Will Levis Not Practicing, Ryan Tannehill Taking First-Team Snaps
Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Will Levis (ankle) is not practicing with the team on Wednesday. As a result, veteran Ryan Tannehill is taking first-team snaps under center. Levis is probably on the wrong side of questionable for Week 16 against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday after suffering a high-ankle sprain in last week's overtime loss to the Houston Texans. High-ankle sprains typically require players to miss several weeks of action, so it's possible Levis could miss multiple games. Tannehill will return to a starting role if Levis misses any time. The 35-year-old suffered a high-ankle sprain of his own in Week 6 and hasn't played since, although he's been active since Week 11. In six starts before his injury and before Levis took over the offense, Tannehill struggled with a 62.03 completion percentage, 1,128 passing yards, only two touchdowns and six interceptions.
Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle) was a full practice participant all week and has been removed from the final Week 11 injury report on Friday. It means that he will be active for the Titans for the first time since spraining his ankle in the Week 6 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. However, all of what little fantasy value Tannehill had left evaporated when the Titans handed the starting quarterback duties over to rookie Will Levis several weeks ago. As long as Levis doesn't miss time with an injury, he's expected to finish out the season as Tennessee's starting QB, with Tannehill relegated to sideline clipboard-holding duties. The 35-year-old Tannehill belongs on the waiver wire in all single-QB fantasy leagues.
