Ryan Tannehill, QB, Miami Dolphins

Week 4 was a disaster for the Miami Dolphins. They lost an offensive lineman to injury and nearly got shutout by the New England Patriots. Ryan Tannehill got pulled in the second half after completing 11-of-20 passes for 100 yards. Just like a quarterback, we have to have a short memory when it comes to streaming the position as we are recommending Tannehill due to a soft matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 5.

The Bengals have struggled to reign in opposing quarterbacks, giving up 304.0 passing yards per game, fifth-most in the NFL. Three out of the four quarterbacks they have faced this season have eclipsed 300 yards passing. The only one that didn't was Cam Newton, who was too busy scoring two touchdowns on the ground against them.

Overall, Cincinnati has allowed the seventh-most touchdown passes, with quarterbacks racking up over 24 fantasy points per week, the sixth-most in the NFL.

Sunday is poised to be high-scoring and pass-heavy for the Dolphins with the Bengals 5.5-point home favorites, another positive in Tannehill's favor this week.
