Who Should I Start? Patrick Mahomes or Tua Tagovailoa

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee), who has been rehabbing the last two months after having surgery to fix the torn ACL and LCL in his left knee, is "already showing progress," according to ESPN's Nate Taylor. "He's around here all the time," Reid said of Mahomes. "He spends a ton of time here, seven hours a day. He's in there cranking away and making progress every day. It's great to see." The three-time Super Bowl MVP and six-time Pro Bowler still has a lot of rehab left, but if he keeps making great strides, he will have a shot to be ready for Week 1 of the 2026 regular season this fall. Even before his late-season knee injury, Mahomes and the Chiefs offense had taken a step back, and he finished with 3,587 passing yards, a career-low 22 touchdown passes, and 11 picks in 14 games. Coming off major knee surgery, Mahomes will no longer be in consideration as a high-end QB1 in fantasy in 2026 as he heads into his 10th year in the NFL.

Miami Dolphins general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan said that "everything is on the table, including the possibility of a trade," when asked about quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's status this offseason, according to Cameron Wolfe of the NFL Network. Sullivan said that Tagovailoa hasn't requested a trade. The Dolphins are in the process of finding a new franchise signal-caller, and their preference is a trade over a release. The 27-year-old former first-rounder hasn't officially asked for a trade, but he's made it pretty clear he's on board with a change of scenery after being benched late last season for Quinn Ewers. Tagovailoa threw for just 2,660 yards, 20 touchdowns, and 15 interceptions in 14 games last year after signing a four-year, $212.4 million contract in July of 2024. Along with his declining play, Tagovailo has a concerning history with concussions, and at best, he'll most likely be competing for a starting job somewhere else this summer.
