Who Should I Start? Aaron Rodgers or Tua Tagovailoa

Monday, December 9, 4:49 PM

According to FOX Sports' Jay Glazer, New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers (ankle, hamstring, knee) has dealt with a lot more injuries than people know this season, although he's currently considered the healthiest he's been all year since Week 2. Rodgers has dealt with a Grade 2 hamstring strain, an MCL sprain and a high-ankle sprain in 2024, and the fact that he's battled through those injuries at his age has raised his standing with his teammates. Of course, the 41-year-old missed all of last year with an Achilles tear suffered on the first offensive series in Week 1. The future Hall of Famer isn't 100% and has only led the Jets to three wins all season. He's unlikely to be back in New York next season and has had a low fantasy ceiling as a QB2 while averaging 18 fantasy points a game, which is tied with Derek Carr for 25th among all QBs.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa completed 33 of 47 passes for 331 yards and two touchdowns in their 32-26 overtime victory over the New York Jets. He also rushed the ball once for three yards. The touchdown to end the game was a beautiful touch throw from 10 yards out. This now marks the third straight game where Tagovailoa has thrown 300-plus yards and multiple passing touchdowns. The 26-year-old has played the best football of his career since returning in Week 8. His last interception was back in Week 9 against the Los Angeles Rams. Every game is meaningful for Miami moving forward as they try and narrowly sneak into a playoff spot. Tagovailoa will look to take advantage of some favorable matchups coming up on the schedule. Miami will travel in Week 15 to take on a Houston Texans team that has struggled defending the pass.
