Who Should I Start? Mason Rudolph or Tua Tagovailoa

Sunday, November 23, 10:56 AM

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph will earn the start against the Chicago Bears in Week 12 after Aaron Rodgers (wrist) was ruled out pregame, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. Rodgers was pushing to play, but the team decided to hold him out. This will be Rudolph's first start of the season, but he also earned significant snaps after Rodgers exited last Sunday. In that game, he completed 12 of 16 pass attempts for 127 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions. This week, the veteran will face off against a Bears defense that leads the league in interceptions but has also allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks in 2025. He's a low-end QB2 for fantasy purposes.

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.
