TuaTagovailoa

News: 2 days agoCoach Mike McDaniel said "guys who are starters" will suit up for "some action" during Saturday's preseason game against the Commanders, though he didn't specify Tagovailoa by name, Chris Perkins of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Spin: Tagovailoa didn't suit up for the Dolphins' preseason opener last week, but it sounds like he and the first-team offense could get some reps in versus Washington. McDaniel said further decisions on which starters will play Saturday, and for how long, will be made Thursday afternoon. If Miami follows a similar plan to last offseason, Tagovailoa will play a few series Saturday and also suit up for the team's exhibition finale versus the Buccaneers on Aug. 23.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Tagovailoa enters his fifth season with the Dolphins after leading the league in passing yards (4,624) and boasting a completion percentage of 69.3%. Despite these impressive statistics, he has yet to achieve fantasy superstardom. After two strong performances in the first three games of 2023, he struggled to maintain consistency throughout the rest of the season, with only two games exceeding 20 fantasy points and seven below 15. The emergence of Raheem Mostert, De'Von Achane and the Dolphins' running game likely contributed to this inconsistency. Having Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle to throw to boosts Tagovailoa's value, but his inability to produce with his legs caps his ceiling. With essentially the same supporting cast in 2024, he's better suited as a QB2 than a QB1.
