To explain it a bit more detailed. He is usually played top. Why is that? Because he counters many bruiser'ish champs with his high mobility, range and annyoing poke. Later he will be also ungankable because of his shrooms which makes him incredibly annoying to deal with. He can push the lane pretty fast without the risk of getting ganked easily because, as i said, he is really fast and has free wards. U usually build him tanky/on-hit type of thing. Means Mallet, Wits End, Malady and maybe a Bloodrazor. That way he will be beast midgame but falls of a bit lategame. One common tactic is then to splitpush like crazy because u might be not that useful in teamfights anymore and his push power is pretty good.

I've also heard people trying support Teemo. I guess it can work as he has annoying poke and a blind and later free wards. But he has almost no way of helping his teammate getting a kill or escape. But if u feel like playing something crazy then thats one thing u could try.
