Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill has been sidelined for two games after picking up an ankle injury in Week 7, opening the door for rookie Malik Willis to get playing time as the starting signal-caller.
Tannehill's return to the field could be as early as Week 10, and at least in two-quarterback or superflex leagues, his status will be significant heading into a matchup with the Denver Broncos.
If Tannehill plays, should he be started in single-quarterback leagues? If he doesn't play, is Malik Willis worth picking up in fantasy football? Let's dive into it.

Is Ryan Tannehill Healthy Or Injured?
Tannehill was a game-time decision before the matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday Night Football but was ultimately ruled out just about an hour before kickoff. The Titans only passed for 80 yards on five completions in the 20-17 overtime loss, so surely Tennessee will be itching to get him back into the lineup.
Tannehill practiced on a limited basis last week, and his injury is not viewed as serious, but it's too early to know if he'll play in Week 10. We'll have to monitor the latest practice reports and buzz out of Tennessee to get a better idea before Sunday's action. For now, we can assume he figures to be questionable.
Should I Start Ryan Tannehill in Week 10 if Active?
If Tannehill starts in Week 10, he's still far from the fantasy radar since the Broncos have allowed the fewest fantasy points per game to quarterbacks through nine weeks. Tennessee's offense lacks playmakers, so it's tough to find a path for fantasy success unless he scores a few times near the goal line.
Expect this matchup to be a low-scoring ugly affair -- not well-suited for fantasy football success. Derrick Henry is the only playable Titans player in this game.
Tannehill will face the Green Bay Packers, Cincinnati Bengals, and Philadelphia Eagles -- all of who rank as top 10 defenses against fantasy quarterbacks.
Should I pickup Malik Willis?
Regardless of Tannehill's injury status, Willis isn't worth picking up after his lack of production in his first two starts. The team doesn't trust him and he's not running enough to pay off in fantasy football.
He's worth holding in dynasty leagues in case the offense is eventually turned over to him, but he's completely off the redraft fantasy radar until further notice.
