EMS Sirens
Hey, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches, right? Thanks to a stellar performance from Ryan Tannehill, we nearly tripled Mario's Team at the quarterback position this past week (37.02 points to 13.04). Tannehill went 21-for-27 for 273 yards and three TDs in a 46-25 win over the Lions.
