Who Should I Start? Lamar Jackson or Tua Tagovailoa

Wednesday, November 26, 8:29 PM

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has registered a rough stretch of fantasy finishes over the last three games as he continues to deal with a slew of injuries. This week, he was dealing with a toe issue that kept him out of the walkthrough on Monday, but he was a full participant the rest of the way. His upside remains one of the highest in the league, especially against a Cincinnati Bengals defense that has allowed the third most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season, and the second most over the last four weeks. A lot of these matchups with the Bengals have ended up in a shootout, and Jackson's 10-2 against them in his career with a total of 2,472 yards, 22 touchdowns, and four interceptions. For that reason, he's still projected as a QB1, but he's become a bit more worrisome week by week.

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.
