Who Should I Start? Skylar Thompson or Quinn Ewers

Miami Dolphins quarterback Quinn Ewers was a seventh-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, and with the writing on the wall as early as last season that the team would be moving on from veteran starter Tua Tagovailoa, Ewers was given the final three starts of his rookie season. While he handled himself adequately, he did little to prove he was the future of the franchise, averaging 190 passing yards across those three performances while throwing three touchdowns and just as many interceptions. Following an overhaul of the coaching staff and front office, the Dolphins signed former Packers backup Malik Willis to a three-year, $67.5 million contract. With Ewers likely to serve as the primary backup, he's still worth rostering in deep superflex leagues, especially with Willis largely unproven as a starter. That said, Ewers ranks in the bottom half of backups across the league, and even if given the chance as an injury fill-in, a poor supporting cast and his own limited skill set will cap his ceiling and keep him comfortably outside of must-start territory, reflected by his current ranking as RotoBaller's dynasty QB47.
