Who Should I Start? Carson Wentz or Tua Tagovailoa

Friday, September 19, 7:54 PM

Despite a chance to start for at least the next couple weeks, Minnesota Vikings quarterback Carson Wentz should remain off the fantasy radar in Week 3 against Cincinnati. The veteran is filling in for starter J.J. McCarthy and certainly has the experience to handle the offense, but the bigger concern is an offensive line that currently leads the NFL in sack percentage and could be in dire straits come Sunday. If starter Christian Darrisaw (knee) is not ready to return from his ACL rehab against the Bengals, the Vikings' projected left tackle, left guard, and center will go into the game with a combined two NFL starts. In what is already expected to be a low-scoring game, starting Wentz is an unnecessary risk, even in Superflex leagues.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will try to help his team avoid three straight losses to start the season on Thursday night, but he'll have a tough road matchup against the Bills. Buffalo's defense gave up a big game in Week 1 against the Ravens, but bounced back to shut down the Jets last week. The Dolphins' passing game struggled badly in Week 1 but bounced back with a much better Week 2. Tua threw for 315 yards and two touchdowns, but he also threw a critical interception and missed other key potential opportunities. The Dolphins' offense has looked off since last year, and on the road against Buffalo on a short week is a tough place to count on Tua figuring it out. Additionally, he could also be without Jaylen Waddle (shoulder), who is questionable. He's just the QB27 in the RotoBaller rankings this week, meaning even in two-QB leagues, he isn't a great starting option this week.
