Who Should I Start? Tua Tagovailoa or Bo Nix

Sunday, August 24, 8:11 AM

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa played into the second quarter on Saturday, as the Dolphins completed their preseason with a 14-7 win over the Jaguars. Tua completed four of his eight pass attempts for 49 yards and was sacked twice. After going three-and-out on his first two possessions, he connected with Malik Washington for a touchdown early in the second quarter to cap his final drive of the day and added a two-point conversion toss to Pharaoh Brown. Tua and the Dolphins head to Indianapolis for a Week 1 matchup with the Colts. His pass protection could limit his fantasy upside after struggling this preseason, but the sixth-year quarterback has a high ceiling in coach Mike McDaniel's offense and will start the year healthy. He begins the season as a mid-level fantasy option with the potential for big plays and spike weeks.

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix looked strong in Saturday's 28-19 preseason win over the New Orleans Saints. The second-year passer led three drives, finishing 10-of-14 for 110 yards and a touchdown strike to Courtland Sutton. After guiding Denver to a playoff berth as a rookie, Nix enters 2025 with heightened expectations. The front office added key offensive weapons in RJ Harvey, J.K. Dobbins, and Evan Engram to aid his development. While some growing pains are expected, Nix's poise and efficiency give fantasy managers reason for optimism as he looks to take another step forward this season.
