Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has an excellent matchup in a Week 11 contest against the Las Vegas Raiders. Last week's performance against the Los Angeles Rams left fantasy managers much to be desired. Since returning from a concussion in Week 8, Miami has averaged 25.6 points per game. The Raiders defense allows the eighth-most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks and ranks 26th in pressure rate. This should lead to many clean pockets and time to throw for Tagovailoa. Just in their last two games, Joe Burrow and Patrick Mahomes have thrown seven touchdowns against them. Las Vegas will also be without their top cornerback, Nate Hobbs (ankle), which could spell big trouble for their secondary. He's a solid start in any format and comes in at No. 13 on this week's RotoBaller QB rankings.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa completed 20 of 28 passes for 207 yards with one touchdown in their 23-15 win over the Los Angeles Rams. He also threw an interception and lost a fumble. After an impressive five-play 70-yard first drive, the Dolphin's offense struggled for most of the game. The young Rams defensive line constantly pressured Tagovailoa and sacked him three times. Two of the sacks were due to him holding the ball too long instead of throwing it away. This was not a good showing for the offensive line, and with the news of tackle Austin Jackson (knee) landing on IR, it doesn't look to get any better. Tagovailoa and the Miami offense will look to get back on track in Week 11 when they host the Las Vegas Raiders.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) has looked solid since returning in Week 8. He's completed 53 of 66 passes for 465 yards and a 3-to-0 TD/Int ratio. Despite two straight losses, Miami's offense has scored 27 points in each game and accumulated over 370+ yards of total offense. They are now traveling to play the Los Angeles Rams in Week 10, and the stage is set for a potentially high-scoring affair with an O/U that currently sits at 50. The Los Angeles defense ranks 18th in fantasy points per game to quarterbacks. Miami's defense has looked porous over the last two games, while the Rams offense looks to build off their momentum with their two stud wide receivers back. Look for this offense to try and keep pace. Tyreek Hill (wrist) is uncertain to play on Monday night. Despite Hill's status being in question, Tagovailoa ranks as the QB12 in this week's RotoBaller rankings and still has a high ceiling in Week 10.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa completed 25 of 28 passes for 231 yards and two touchdowns in their 30-27 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. It was a second straight outing where the offense looked much improved from weeks prior. The Miami rushing attack created a lot of open space in the secondary for Tagovailoa to create chunk plays. In their previous meeting with Buffalo back in Week 2, Tagovailoa threw three interceptions. It was encouraging to see no turnovers from him against an excellent defense. This also marks back-to-back games where the former Alabama Crimson Tide finished with no turnovers, and the offense scored 27 points. With Miami now sitting at (2-6), they're more desperate than ever to get wins. Look for Tagovailoa to air the ball out next week when they travel to take on the Los Angeles Rams in a game that could be a shootout.
Nov 3, 2024 5:49 PM EST
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) is coming off a solid return last week vs. the Arizona Cardinals. He completed 28 of 38 passes for 234 yards and one touchdown, adding 13 yards on three rushing attempts. That being said, his outlook for Week 9 doesn't look as great. Miami will travel to take on their division rival Buffalo Bills, whom Tagovailoa has struggled against. In eight games against Buffalo, he's averaged 199.9 passing yards, 0.9 touchdowns, and 1.3 interceptions per contest. His passer rating also drops to 74.1 compared to the 96.4 career mark. Not helping matters is the fact that Buffalo's defense gives up the sixth-fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. With temperatures projected to drop into the thirties in Orchard Park, that does not bode well for the passing attack. It's safe to say Tagovailoa should stay on the bench this week and comes in at number 18 in this week's RotoBaller quarterback rankings, making him more of a play in 2QB or Superflex leagues.
Nov 1, 2024 7:40 PM EST
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) returned to action on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals after missing the last four games due to a concussion. The 26-year-old completed 28 of 38 pass attempts for 234 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 28-27 loss. He also rushed the ball three times for 13 yards. The offense looked much more explosive, as expected, compared to the previous four weeks with Skylar Thompson, Tyler Huntley, and Tim Boyle. Another encouraging sign was how well the offensive line was pass-protecting compared to previous weeks. With the return of guard Isaiah Wynn looming, the pass protection only looks to improve. Fantasy managers must be pleased with his progress, considering the circumstances he has faced this year. Next Sunday, Tagovailoa and the Dolphins will travel to Buffalo to face their division rival, whom he has struggled against in his career.
Oct 27, 2024 8:40 PM EST
Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) has been officially activated off the team's injured reserve ahead of Sunday's outing against the Arizona Cardinals. The Dolphins released quarterback Tim Boyle in a corresponding move. It's merely a formality, as Jonathan Jones of CBS reported on Friday that Tagovailoa would be getting the start in Week 8. It is fantastic news for the Dolphins and fantasy managers, as the team has scored just three offensive touchdowns in his absence. The Alabama product should be an immediate boost to the outlook of all Dolphins' skill players. Arizona is one of the league's better matchups for opposing passing attacks, letting up the second-most yards per pass play (7.4). The 26-year-old will be a high-end QB2 for the contest and is RotoBaller's QB14 in this week's rankings.
Oct 26, 2024 9:18 PM EST
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) has cleared concussion protocol and will get the starting nod on Sunday when the Dolphins face the Arizona Cardinals. Tagovailoa has been sidelined since suffering a concussion during the second week of the season. In his absence, the Miami offense has struggled as they never eclipsed 20 total points in a game without him. Fantasy managers in deeper 1QB formats should feel comfortable starting the Alabama product as he scored 22.0 points in the season opener and 13.0 before leaving Week 2 early. The Cardinals have allowed the 28th-most PPR points to opposing QBs. In addition, Tagovailoa's return also gives a significant boost to Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle who should be viewed as must-start options going forward.
Oct 25, 2024 11:54 AM EST
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) was upgraded to a full practice session on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. As a full practice participant, Tagovailoa can now meet with an independent neurological consultant for full clearance from the NFL's concussion protocol before Sunday's Week 8 game against the Arizona Cardinals. Meanwhile, Tyler Huntley (shoulder) missed a second straight practice on Thursday. Nothing is official yet, but all signs point to the 26-year-old Tagovailoa coming off Injured Reserve and playing this weekend for the first time since suffering his latest concussion in Week 2. Not only is Tua's matchup against Arizona a good one -- they've allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to QBs in 2024 -- but his return should do wonders for the fantasy value of both receivers Tyreek Hill (foot) and Jaylen Waddle (quadriceps).
Oct 24, 2024 7:55 PM EST
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) is reportedly trending to play this Sunday when his team squares off against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 8, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Pelissero also noted he was told that "Tua looks like Tua. He's ripping it all over the field, hitting bombs to Tyreek Hill. This is the guy they've been missing." It's a positive start to the week for the fifth-year QB, who is still required to gain clearance from an independent neurologist as his last hurdle of clearing the league's concussion protocol. Miami's offense desperately needs a spark, scoring just three touchdowns since the Alabama product's exit from the team's Week 2 loss to the Bills. If Tagovailoa can play, he'd give them just that. Fantasy managers will want to monitor him over the next day or so, as he'd supply a large boost to the Dolphins' skill players if active.
Oct 24, 2024 10:28 AM EST
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) was officially back at practice on Wednesday and has a chance to come off Injured Reserve and play this Sunday against the visiting Arizona Cardinals. It was reported on Tuesday that Tagovailoa would be a full-go in practice on Wednesday, so as long as he doesn't suffer a setback at practice, he could be cleared by an independent neurologist later this week and get the green light to return for the first time since suffering another scary concussion in Week 2. The 26-year-old obviously is an extreme injury risk and could be one more head injury from retirement, but he has low-end QB1 appeal in the right matchups when healthy. Tagovailoa's impending return is great news for fantasy managers of receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, who have been untrustworthy ever since Tagovailoa was injured.
Oct 23, 2024 3:31 PM EST
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) is expected to suit up for practice on Wednesday and be a full participant. This would be the first time that Tagovailoa has practiced since exiting the Week 2 matchup against the Buffalo Bills due to a concussion. There were rumors about Tagovailoa being done for the season if not having his career ended over concussions. However, Tagovailoa appears to be on track to start against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 8, barring any setbacks. His return to the field is a welcoming sight and he should boost the fantasy value of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle who are off to sluggish starts with the Dolphins backups.
Oct 22, 2024 9:26 PM EST
The Miami Dolphins designated quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) to return from Injured Reserve on Monday with the hopes that he can return to play this Sunday in Week 8 to face the Arizona Cardinals. Tagovailoa isn't guaranteed to play this weekend, but if he looks good in practice during the week, Miami could officially activate him from IR by Saturday and have him start on Sunday. The 26-year-old lefty signal-caller suffered his fourth concussion in five years in the Week 2 loss to the division-rival Buffalo Bills and has been on IR ever since. However, after consulting with doctors and specialists, Tagovailoa not only made the decision to continue his career, but to try and return this year. Tagovailoa is obviously an extreme injury risk moving forward, but his return to the field should drastically boost the fantasy values of all of Miami's offensive skill players, most notably Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.
Oct 21, 2024 1:51 PM EST
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) is set to practice ahead of Week 8 and could make his return as the team's starter next Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, according to Dianna Russini of The Athletic. This is the fastest possible return for Tagovailoa, whose placement on injured reserve required him to stay on the sideline for four games before he could return to practice or game action. This Sunday's Dolphins-Colts clash is the fourth game he'll miss, and it sounds like he'll get back on the field as soon as he's eligible next week. We previously heard that Tagovailoa is symptom-free and has no intentions of retiring at the moment. Once he does return to the field, he'll rank as a fringe top-12 fantasy quarterback. Perhaps more importantly, he'll boost the fantasy values of Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, and De'Von Achane, among others.
Oct 19, 2024 9:45 AM EST
Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said on Monday that quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) is expected to play again this season, but it won't come in Week 7 versus the Indianapolis Colts. Tagovailoa suffered yet another scary-looking concussion in the Week 2 loss to the division-rival Buffalo Bills and remains on Injured Reserve. The left-handed-throwing QB is eligible to resume practicing on Oct. 23, but that doesn't mean the 26-year-old will be able to return shortly after that. While Tagovailoa is worth stashing in two-QB fantasy leagues, managers should temper expectations for his return date and how he performs immediately after he returns. Tagovailoa put up career-best numbers last year and has perhaps the best 1-2 punch in the league at wideout, but he could be one more head injury away from his career being over. Tyler Huntley is expected to make his third straight start at QB for Miami against the Colts.
Oct 14, 2024 1:02 PM EST
Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said that quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) is scheduled to meet with an expert on head injuries during the team's bye in Week 6. It was reported last week that Tagovailoa has been symptom-free since suffering another scary concussion in the Week 2 loss to the Buffalo Bills. However, the 26-year-old was placed on Injured Reserve, and there's currently no timetable for his return. Tagovailoa will be eligible to come off IR for Week 8, but expecting him to return that soon would be foolish. The good news is that it sounds as though Tagovailoa has a shot to play again this year, which seemed unlikely at the time of his injury. At least for Week 7 against the Indianapolis Colts, Tyler Huntley is expected to make a second straight start under center for the Dolphins. Tagovailoa deserves to be stashed as a QB2 in single-year fantasy leagues.
Oct 7, 2024 6:42 PM EST
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) is on the Injured Reserve list after suffering another scary-looking concussion in the Week 2 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Despite the concern after suffering yet another head injury, the belief is Tagovailoa is expected to return when he's eligible in Week 8 against the Arizona Cardinals. "[Tua] has been symptom-free and he has been meeting with neurologists," NFL insider Adam Schefter said. "And I don't believe that anybody's told him anything right now to dissuade him from wanting to play." Tagovailoa has missed two games so far and will be required to miss the Week 5 game against the New England Patriots. The team goes on a bye in Week 6 before a game against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 7. Fantasy managers with Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, and De'Von Achane are likely to have to deal with a lack of production from those three stars for now, but based on the latest information, it would be surprising if Tagovailoa does not return to start later this month.
Oct 3, 2024 2:39 PM EST
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) is reportedly "symptom-free" and is on track to return to the field as soon as Week 8 according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Tagovailoa is eligible to return from the IR in Week 8 and could be back on the field by then after suffering a concussion in the team's Week 2 loss to the Bills. With a history of concussions, Tagovailoa's return to the field was not a given but it looks like he is eyeing a comeback from his latest scary head injury. The Dolphins are now 1-3 and the offense is struggling mightily without Tagovailoa on the field.
Oct 1, 2024 9:23 AM EST
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) will meet with outside neurologists this week, according to head coach Mike McDaniel. "The plan hasn't changed. It's been executed. That's where it stands. I don't know reports, who sources are, but people should talk to me. I've got the real information," McDaniel said. After suffering another scary concussion in the Week 2 loss to the division-rival Buffalo Bills, Tagovailoa has been placed on Injured Reserve and is without a timetable to return as he focuses on his health first and foremost. The 26-year-old signal-caller reportedly has no plans to retire, but that could change after he meets with neurologists this week. Backup Skylar Thompson (ribs) got the start in the Week 3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks and was hurt, so the Dolphins could be forced to start Tim Boyle or Tyler Huntley in Week 4 on Monday night versus the Tennessee Titans.
Sep 24, 2024 1:45 PM EST
The Miami Dolphins are placing quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday in order to give him ample time to progress through the stages of the league's concussion protocol and meet with outside neurologists, according to sources. The earliest Tagovailoa can return now is in Week 8 against the Arizona Cardinals, but the Dolphins are committed to placing no timeline on him as he works through a deliberate process and eventual return to play. Honestly, nobody knows when Tagovailoa will return to football, and there's even a chance that neurologists recommend he not play football again. The 26-year-old suffered his fourth documented concussion last Thursday, although he's apparently not considering retirement. In the meantime, backup Skylar Thompson will run the offense and start in Week 3 against the Seahawks. It's a major downgrade for all of Miami's offensive skill players.
