Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is hopeful for better results after a few lackluster performances before the bye in Week 12. Tagovailoa has been held to 205 passing yards or fewer in three of his last four games. Despite that, Tagovailoa did have a four-touchdown game during that span. The 27-year-old is an intriguing option heading into the Week 13 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. The Dolphins should come into this game refreshed after the bye and will face off against an average pass defense. Fantasy managers in need of a possible streaming option might want to consider Tagovailoa who should offer at least QB2 value.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa completed 14 of 20 pass attempts for 171 yards, zero touchdowns, and zero turnovers during Sunday's Week 11 overtime win against the Washington Commanders in Madrid. He also took three sacks in the victory. Tagovailoa didn't light the stat sheet on fire, but he also played clean football, delivering just his fourth turnover-free game of the season. However, from a fantasy perspective, his quiet day equated to a very disappointing fantasy performance, especially just one week removed from a two-touchdown outing against the Bills. Tagovailoa finished Week 11 with his third-lowest fantasy total of the season, and he'll remain a low-end QB2 on the other side of Miami's Week 12 bye.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagoavailoa's future with the team is tied to whether head coach Mike McDaniel returns for the 2026 season, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Owner Stephen Ross wants McDaniel to remain the head coach in 2026, but he'll make a decision on the coach's future based on how the players respond over the final weeks of the season. Rapoport pointed out that last week's win over the Bills was a step in the right direction, and similar morale-boosting victories could help save McDaniel's job. Rapoport also reported that Tagovailoa would remain the starting quarterback if McDaniel returns as head coach next season, and his future with the team is a lot more murky if McDaniel isn't in the picture. The 27-year-old has thrown a career-high 13 interceptions this year, but he's also averaging a respectable 1.7 touchdowns per game despite losing Tyreek Hill (knee) to a season-ending injury.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa led his team to a big win over the Bills last week, and he's in a favorable matchup this week against the Commanders in the early Sunday morning game from Madrid. Tua finished with 173 passing yards, two touchdowns, and still threw two interceptions. He has 17 touchdowns and 13 picks this year and has averaged 195 passing yards per game. Despite his struggles, he does have a good matchup against the Commanders, who have allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season. Tagovailoa is the QB23 in RotoBaller's rankings this week, making him a usable play in deep or two-quarterback leagues. However, he's still not a great starting play even with a little bit of recent success.
Nov 14, 2025 9:41 PM EST
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa continues to struggle at the helm of the Dolphins' offense, but he'll continue to start this week in a home game against the Bills. Last week, he threw for 261 passing yards and one interception on Thursday Night Football against the Ravens. He didn't throw any touchdowns, and he has one or zero scores in three of the last four weeks, with the one exception being his strong showing against the Falcons. He's averaging only 6.6 yards per attempt and 197.7 yards per game, and the Bills have allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks this season. He had 146 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception against the Bills in Week 3. His recent struggles without Tyreek Hill drop him all the way down to QB24 this week, meaning he should barely be starting in two-QB leagues even with bye weeks.
Nov 7, 2025 6:59 PM EST
According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa could be benched "at some point" this season. While Rapoport added that his "play would have to really fall off" for that to happen, a possible demotion is "not off the table." The 27-year-old has thrown for 1,779 yards, 15 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions during the 2025 campaign. Although Tagovailoa has had at least a few decent fantasy showings this season, he has struggled on several occasions. For now, the signal-caller will remain under center. However, it appears he's on a short leash, so he'll need to play well in upcoming meetings with the Buffalo Bills and Washington Commanders. If not, Zach Wilson or Quinn Ewers may claim the top spot on the depth chart.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa should only be considered in Superflex formats when his team plays host to the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday Night Football. During the past two weeks, the former Alabama star was benched in a blowout loss, then promptly went 20-for-26 with four touchdown passes in a blowout win last week. The Ravens rank a lowly 25th against fantasy quarterbacks, but looked improved last week with middle linebacker Roquan Smith back in the lineup. The Dolphins are missing No. 1 receiver Tyreek Hill (knee) and No. 1 tight end Darren Waller (pectoral), but even with a full lineup, Miami has been maybe the most volatile team in the league. Tagovailoa has some appeal in a strong matchup, but there is ultimately risk with starting an up-and-down quarterback on a short week.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa experienced his worst performance of his career last week. However, Tagovailoa turned it around during Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons. He completed 20-of-26 passing attempts for 205 yards with four touchdowns and zero interceptions in the victory. This was a fantastic bounce back performance for both the Dolphins and for Tagovailoa. It was his first four-score game since Week 12 of last season. He'll look to keep the good times rolling against the Baltimore Ravens next week.
Oct 26, 2025 6:56 PM EST
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (illness) has been added to the injury report ahead of today's game against the Atlanta Falcons. However, he does not carry an injury designation and will play. Tagovailoa is looking to bounce back from an ugly loss to the Cleveland Browns in which he threw three interceptions and was benched for Quinn Ewers. Unfortunately for the signal caller, the Falcons have allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks this year, even fewer than the Browns. Atlanta's six interceptions and seven passing touchdowns allowed do not bode well for Tagovailoa as he fights for his job in Week 8. He can be avoided in most fantasy leagues.
Oct 26, 2025 10:19 AM EST
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is the No. 26 QB in RotoBaller's rankings for Week 8, which isn't a good thing when there are only 26 teams playing this week. It has been a rough season for the Dolphins and Tagovailoa all year, but it reached new depths last week in a 31-6 loss to the lowly Browns. Tua completed only 12 of his 23 passes for 100 yards and no touchdowns while throwing three interceptions last week. He was replaced by rookie Quinn Ewers, but Tua will be back on the field to start this week against the Falcons. He is averaging 187.6 passing yards per game and has 10 interceptions to go with his 11 touchdowns. On top of all his struggles, he's in a brutal matchup against the Falcons, who have allowed the second-fewest yards per attempt and the fewest passing yards per game this season. If you have anyone else who is playing this week, they're probably a better option than Tagovailoa at this point, especially since he may not finish the game or have his job by the end of Week 8.
Oct 24, 2025 7:44 PM EST
Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said that Tua Tagovailoa remains his starting quarterback despite a disastrous performance in the Week 7 blowout loss to the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, according to Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team. McDaniel and Tagovailoa are keeping their jobs for another week, but if things don't get turned around soon, they could both be out of jobs in the near future. The 27-year-old was benched in the fourth quarter of the 31-6 loss to the Browns after throwing for 130 yards, no touchdowns, and three interceptions. Miami is currently 1-6 as they head into a Week 8 contest on the road against the Atlanta Falcons. Tua has been bad in his seven starts, and things aren't going to get any easier with receiver Tyreek Hill (knee) out for the year and tight end Darren Waller (pectoral) now week-to-week. Tagovailoa has thrown for 1,313 yards on 205 pass attempts for 11 touchdowns and a league-high 10 picks in seven games. He won't be a desirable QB2 in superflex leagues in Week 8.
Oct 20, 2025 3:21 PM EST
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was benched during the fourth quarter of Sunday's Week 7 contest against the Cleveland Browns. He was in the midst of an all-time poor outing, having completed 12 of 23 passes for 100 yards, zero touchdowns, and three interceptions, including a pick-six. He also took two sacks and rushed for six yards. Tagovailoa was replaced by Quinn Ewers, who is active for the first time this season. Miami made the decision ahead of Week 7 to name Ewers the backup quarterback over Zach Wilson. The Texas product will be tasked with limiting the damage in the final minutes of the blowout loss to Cleveland. All eyes will be on Miami with Mike McDaniel's seat hotter than ever, and a potential quarterback change on the radar ahead of Week 8.
Oct 19, 2025 3:45 PM EST
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa had a turbulent week after calling out teammates after last week's loss and apologizing mid-week. He and the Dolphins will try to put that all behind them when they visit the Browns in Week 7 in a matchup of two 1-5 teams. Tua's numbers had been trending up with multiple touchdowns in four straight games before the Chargers held him to 205 passing yards and one passing score while snagging three interceptions. Tua now has 11 touchdowns and seven picks in his six games this year and is averaging 202.2 yards passing per contest. He's the QB24 this week in RotoBaller's rankings, making him an ok start in dual-QB leagues, but not one to be very excited about against the Browns, who allow the sixth-fewest fantasy points per game to quarterbacks this year.
Oct 17, 2025 7:27 PM EST
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa criticized some of his teammates and the team's leadership following a 29-27 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 6. The defeat dropped Miami to 1-5 on the season. When asked about Miami's slow start, Tagovailoa said that "it starts with the leadership" before proceeding to express his frustration that several players have been showing up late to (or completely missing) players-only meetings. Time is running out for the Dolphins to turn things around, and the quarterback's comments indicate some possible areas of focus for the team to address going forward. All the while, speculation about head coach Mike McDaniel's job security continues to run rampant. Miami's one victory of the season came against the winless Jets in Week 4. The Dolphins will look to get right against a struggling Cleveland Browns team in Week 7.
Oct 12, 2025 5:52 PM EST
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will face the Chargers in a tough test at home during Week 6. Last week, Tua had one of his best games of the year, even though he was playing his first game without top receiver Tyreek Hill (knee). He completed 27-of-36 pass attempts for 256 passing yards and three touchdowns. He has thrown multiple touchdowns in four straight weeks and is up to 10 touchdowns on the year with just four interceptions. He's averaging just over 200 passing yards per game, while adding almost no rushing production. His recent success has been in favorable matchups, but this week, he'll face the Chargers, who have allowed the seventh-fewest fantasy points to the position. They have allowed just four passing scores all year and an average of only 188.2 passing yards per game. In the tough matchup, Tua is the No. 23 QB in RotoBaller's rankings, making him a borderline second QB but not a starter in most standard leagues.
Oct 10, 2025 8:05 PM EST
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (hip/thumb) carries no injury designation for the team's Week 6 matchup with the Chargers. Tagovailoa was a limited participant to start the week due to injuries to the thumb of his throwing hand as well as his hip, but has since logged two full practices and is a full go for Sunday. Through five weeks, Tagovailoa has averaged over 250 passing yards per game, throwing ten touchdowns to only four interceptions, and has shown an instant rapport with tight end Darren Waller over the past two weeks. In the Dolphins' first game without All-Pro wide receiver Tyreek Hill, he had arguably his best game of the year, but the Chargers' defense presents challenges that the Panthers could not in Week 5. Tagovailoa can be started in a pinch, but outside of superflex leagues, there should be better options available in most leagues.
Oct 10, 2025 3:50 PM EST
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (hip, thumb) upgraded to a full participant in Thursday's practice, according to David Furones of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. Tagovailoa came into the week nursing hip and thumb ailments and was limited on Wednesday. The 27-year-old's thumb injury is on his throwing hand, but it didn't appear to hinder him at all while throwing passes on Thursday. Tua's injuries are something to watch heading into Sunday's game at Hard Rock Stadium against the visiting Los Angeles Chargers, but they won't be something that keeps him from playing this weekend. Tagovailoa has looked better in recent weeks after a slow start, but losing top wideout Tyreek Hill (knee) for the year isn't going to help matters the rest of the way. Fantasy managers will want to consider him a low-end QB2 for a tough matchup against the Chargers defense as the club looks to put an end to a two-game losing streak.
Oct 9, 2025 7:04 PM EST
According to Miami Dolphins offensive coordinator Frank Smith, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (hip, thumb) is expected to be "without hindered performance" in Week 6 when his team squares off with the visiting Los Angeles Chargers. The 27-year-old was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice after picking up thumb and hip injuries in their loss to the Panthers in Week 5. Tagovailoa didn't appear to be hampered by the injuries last weekend, and it's good news that the team expects him to be ready on Sunday. Fantasy managers will want to continue keeping an eye on his status over the next few days, but it doesn't seem that he'll be in danger of being inactive.
Oct 9, 2025 11:29 AM EST
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (hip, thumb) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. Tagovailoa apparently suffered a hip and left thumb injury during last Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. The 27-year-old didn't show any signs of being injured when he threw for 256 yards with three touchdowns. He's finally starting to turn a page with five touchdowns and zero interceptions over his last two games. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried about Tagovailoa for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers. It's the beginning of the week and the Dolphins are going to be careful especially with Tagovailoa's injury history. At the moment, fantasy managers should fully expect Tagovailoa out there for Week 6.
Oct 8, 2025 9:14 PM EST
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa completed 27 of 36 pass attempts for 256 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 5 loss against the Carolina Panthers. He also rushed for five yards and took three sacks. Tagovailoa played well early in the game, pulling out to a 17-0 lead. However, Miami's offense eventually stalled and lost to the Panthers after a fourth quarter that saw three different lead changes. Fortunately for Tagovailoa's fantasy managers, his fantasy score doesn't factor in whether the Dolphins won or lost. As long as Miami is playing in close games or trailing, Tagovailoa will be passing a lot, which gives him plenty of fantasy upside going forward. He's a high-end QB2 in fantasy football heading into Week 6 against the Los Angeles Chargers.
