6. Ryan Tannehill-QB-Miami Dolphins (8.6%)

Tannehill has led the young, emerging Dolphins to a pair of road wins to open the season beating Cleveland and Indianapolis to get to 2-0. In week one he threw for 272 yards and a score and bettered that number this week throwing for 319 yards and a score while besting Andrew Luck.

Tannehill looks like he’s going to be in a situation where he’ll be attempting plenty of throws with the Dolphins running game still a mess and their passing game starting to click.

In the Dolphins’ home opener, he’ll face a Falcons secondary that gave up over 350 yards and three touchdowns to Sam Bradford at home in week two after giving up over 350 and a pair of scores to Drew Brees in week one.

Tannehill has the receiving weapons to turn this into a shootout and it should be an entertaining game as the Dolphins look to get to 3-0.
