Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa threw his league-leading 15th interception early in the team's Week 15 Monday Night loss to the Steelers and led a hapless offense that struggled to sustain drives until the game was out of hand. When asked if he is considering a quarterback change, head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters on Tuesday, "The QB play last night was not good enough. So everything is on the table." With the loss, the Dolphins fell to 6-8 and were eliminated from playoff contention. Tagovailoa signed a lucrative contract extension before the 2024 season, complicating any potential moves the team intends to make at the position. However, after another disappointing season, it appears that changes are coming to Miami in some form or fashion.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa completed 22 of 28 passes for 253 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in Monday night's 28-15 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The final line for Tagovailoa is not reflective of his overall performance, as Miami's offense struggled to move the ball all night. The 27-year-old signal-caller threw an ugly first-quarter interception and led the Dolphins to just 109 yards of offense on 21 plays in the first half. Miami went backwards in the third quarter, totaling minus-20 yards on their two drives before making up for lost time in the fourth quarter in garbage time, when Tagovailoa found tight end Darren Waller for two touchdowns. The Alabama product ended up with his most passing yards in a game since Week 9, but it was an empty performance. Tagovailoa will look to get back on track next week in a favorable matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has been marginally better lately, avoiding costly turnovers and letting his running back and defense carry his team to four straight wins. His numbers have been not impressive even during his team's winning streak. He has attempted under 25 passes in every one of those games with 15 or fewer completions and under 175 passing yards in each game. He only has three passing touchdowns in those four wins as well with only one total touchdown in his last three games. He may have to do more this week against Pittsburgh, but he'll likely continue to rely on short "dink and dunk" passing, which limits his potential. He's the No. 27 QB in RotoBaller's rankings this week, meaning he is not a strong starting option in almost any format.
Dec 13, 2025 5:23 PM EST
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has given some underwhelming performances over the last few weeks. In fact, Tagovailoa has thrown for fewer than 200 passing yards in four straight games. The 27-year-old hasn't posted a multi-score game since Week 10 versus the Buffalo Bills, either. Tagovailoa does have a plus matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 15, though. The Steelers' defense has given up nearly 250 passing yards per game this season. However, it's worth noting that Tagovailoa has notoriously struggled in cold weather. He hasn't thrown for over 200 yards in a road game since Week 8 in Atlanta, which was indoors. The sixth-year quarterback could be worth a look in two-quarterback leagues, but his ceiling for fantasy purposes remains low.
Dec 9, 2025 7:35 PM EST
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa continues to post lackluster numbers while continuing to dink and dunk. Last week, he completed 12-of-23 passes for 157 yards and an interception in his team's win over the Saints. While the team has won three straight games, he has thrown for under 200 yards in each contest with two touchdowns and three interceptions. He's averaging 190 passing yards per game on the season with 17 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. The Dolphins have been winning by relying on De'Von Achane and their defense, and they'll likely follow that formula again this week against the Jets, leaving Tua with limited upside. He's the No. 22 QB in RotoBaller's Week 14 rankings, so he can be left on the waiver wire or bench even in two-quarterback leagues.
Dec 5, 2025 6:36 PM EST
Across 12 games this season, Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has completed 67.2% of his pass attempts for 2,280 yards, 17 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions. While the 27-year-old's numbers do not jump off the page, Miami has played its best football in recent weeks, winning three straight games and four out of its last five heading into Week 14. Tagovailoa should have an opportunity to post solid numbers in a favorable matchup in Week 14 against the New York Jets. In his first matchup against New York back in Week 4, Tagovailoa threw for 177 yards and two touchdowns. His lack of rushing ability limits his fantasy upside. However, in deeper fantasy leagues or two-quarterback formats, Tagovailoa could be a solid streaming option off the waiver wire in Week 14.
Dec 2, 2025 11:20 AM EST
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has thrown for over 170 yards in four straight games, and his team has won three of the four games, with six touchdowns and three interceptions during that span. Tua managed to lead his team to a win over the Commanders before last week's bye week, completing 14 of 20 pass attempts for 171 passing yards. Tagovailoa didn't throw any touchdowns in that game, but the team's run game, led by De'Von Achane, has been doing most of the work during the team's recent success. Even though the Dolphins have been playing better, Tagovailoa's numbers have still been mediocre. He is only the QB21 this week in RotoBaller's Week 13 rankings, so he is a low-end QB2 in deep leagues, even though he has a favorable matchup this week at home against the Saints.
Nov 28, 2025 7:17 PM EST
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.
Nov 25, 2025 7:23 PM EST
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.
Nov 16, 2025 4:11 PM EST
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.
Nov 16, 2025 9:29 AM EST
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.
Nov 1, 2025 7:35 PM EST
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.
Oct 30, 2025 9:29 AM EST
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.
