Ryan Tannehill Fantasy News
Ryan Tannehill says Lamar Miller is the starter
Tuesday, June 4, 2013, 10:01am
Appearing on NFL Network's "NFL Total Access" on Monday, Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill stated without equivocation that RB Lamar Miller is well ahead of 2011 second-rounder Daniel Thomas and rookie Mike Gillislee.
Asked who the Dolphins' starting running back is, Tannehill replied without hesitation: "Lamar Miller right now. He's doing a great job this offseason, really has a great handle on the offense and he's doing a great job protecting. ... They can (all) run the ball but being able to understand the pass game, understand the checkdowns and where they're protecting really makes a big difference and makes me more comfortable."
Miller is expected to win the starting job and should be a fantasy RB2 in that role. He didn't play much as a rookie but showed promise, which is why the Dolphins let Bush walk.

Dolphins RB Lamar Miller is taking the bulk of snaps with the first team, and when he does, he has been effective, showing the same explosiveness he did at the University of Miami.
“I think he’s just more comfortable,” quarterback Ryan Tannehill said. “He knows the offense. He’s been in it for a year. He knows the protections. Now he can just go out and let his athletic ability shine for itself.”
Miller said he is focused on improving his blocking this offseason and expects that to show up when the competition begins in earnest come training camp.

Dolphins sign Mike Wallace to five-year deal
Tuesday, March 12, 2013, 4:46pm
Dolphins give Mike Wallace a five-year deal worth up to $65 million.
It's reportedly a five-year deal worth up to $65 million. Mike Wallace has the #17 PPG average (in standard formats) over the last two seasons, and if he's able to develop a rapport with QB Ryan Tannehill this offseason, he should be a capable fantasy WR2 in 2013. His YPC (13.1) and Catch % (55%) dropped, but that was partly due to Ben Roethlisberger missing three games during the season. Even though he had a down year in 2012, he averaged 4.5-63-.67 in 12 games with Roethlisberger, which are similar to his 4.5-75-.50 averages in 2011. We typically prefer receivers whose situations are obviously improved (or at least relatively unchanged), but Wallace should be able to make some noise in South Beach. This is obviously good news for Ryan Tannehill and bad (though expected) news for Roethlisberger. Antonio Brown and Emmanuel Sanders get a boost in Pittsburgh.
Report: Mike Wallace to Dolphins a "done deal"
Monday, March 11, 2013, 10:22am
The Dolphins have made little secret of their desire to upgrade their receiver corps for next season and surround Ryan Tannehill with better weapons. And a lot of the talk has focused on Mike Wallace, who is the youngest (26), fastest and arguably the best receiver available in free agency.
The Dolphins can’t sign Wallace until 4 p.m. Tuesday, but all signs point to him landing in Miami, perhaps minutes after the new league year begins tomorrow.
We hear from someone we trust that it’s a “done deal” that Wallace will be signing with Miami.

Dolphins re-sign QB Matt Moore
Friday, March 8, 2013, 9:57am
NFL.com's Jeff Darlington reported Friday that quarterback Matt Moore has decided to stay in South Florida, inking a new contract with the Dolphins, according to a source close to the player.
It's smart work by general manager Jeff Ireland. Moore widely was considered the top quarterback in a thin NFL free-agent market and likely would have been courted by multiple teams. Moore wants to be a starter, but he's comfortable with the Dolphins and close friends with second-year quarterback Ryan Tannehill.
Moore could have had a shot at a starting job elsewhere, but instead decided to stick as Tannehill's backup in Miami. He has trade value now that the Dolphins have his rights.

The Dolphins expect QB Ryan Tannehill to dress and he's likely to start. Issue is pain tolerance, so he'll be monitored pregame.
Matt Moore would take over if Tannehill can't go or can't make it through the contest. The matchup is good against the Colts.

An MRI exam Monday on the left knee of Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill did not show any structural damage, but his status for Sunday's game against Indianapolis remains uncertain, according to The Miami Herald. The rookie Tannehill could sit out with a bruised quadriceps and, according to the Herald, a bone bruise in his left knee.
If Tannehill can't go, Matt Moore would get the start in a great matchup with the Colts.
