Summary
Host Ian Hartitz breaks down Ryan Tannehill's fantasy football outlook ahead of the 2021 season. Tannehill wasn't great in Miami; just realize his ascent from Texas A&M wide receiver to present day makes sense when considering some of the highs he flashed with the Dolphins. Regardless, Tannehill has been a top-10 quarterback by just about any efficiency metric since taking over for Marcus Mariota in 2019. Don't be surprised if Julio Jones helps take this offense to another level; the only pair of pass-catchers Ian would rank above AJB-Julio is Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce. Ian does warn viewers about the potential for the Titans offensive line to cause some problems, but utlimately sees the artist known as TanneThrill as a fantasy QB1.

| 0:00.0 | I'm your host, Dean Harditz. And today we continue our fantasy final series with a look at Ryan |
| 0:15.3 | Tanna Hill. Got the voice back people. Thank you for the few kind comments. I got on Twitter |
| 0:20.3 | again. Apologies about that quality. Then I want to break the fantasy pile streak. We did |
| 0:24.6 | not. Now I got my voice back and we are full. Steam ahead. Like always. And what better person talk |
| 0:30.1 | about then? Ryan Freak and Tanna Hill who you then notice used to be a wild receiver back in the |
| 0:35.8 | day. It's not quite. I wouldn't put that quite up there with you know, Jimmy Grimm has played basketball, |
| 0:41.2 | Logan Thomas used to be a QB. I think most people realize the Tanna Hill wide receiver story, but it's |
| 0:46.7 | not quite driven in as much as some other guys. And the part that shocked me looking back on it was |
| 0:52.0 | not that he played wide receiver. He was actually sick at wide receiver. This dude had 55 catches for |
| 0:57.9 | 844 yards and five scores as a freshman. 45 catches for 609 scores for touchdowns as a soft |
| 1:04.6 | more. This was not someone that played wide receiver couldn't cut it and then moved to quarterback. |
| 1:09.0 | Tanna Hill was looking like a pretty damn good wide receiver. Obviously he has maximized his |
| 1:13.9 | potential and especially his earning power by switching to quarterback. But I mean we are truly |
| 1:18.4 | looking at a high level athlete. Just you know, like every NFL player is, but Tanna Hill in particular, |
| 1:24.2 | you know, when you see him scoring seven Russian touchdowns last year, it makes sense when you kind |
| 1:28.2 | of consider this. But A&M stuff aside, I think the biggest, uh, what's the right word? Biggest miss |
| 1:35.4 | the misconception. There we go about Tanna Hill has been his Miami Dolphins days. He was so far |
| 1:41.8 | better than Sam Darnold was with the Jets. It's not even close. And I'll prove it to you. Ryan Tanna |
| 1:47.1 | Hill at the Dolphins ranked 25th among 77 qualified QAs in PFF pass grade. Donald was 49th |
| 1:52.8 | with the Jets. Tanna Hill was 30th and big time third rate. Donald was 46. Tanna Hill 41st and |
| 1:58.6 | term of worthy play rate. There's Donald 45th. Tanna Hill 21st and Jessica Pleasian rate. |
| 2:03.2 | Donald 49th. Sam Darnold has objectively been a bad quarterback ever since he joined the Jets. |
