While it's probably unlikely, The Athletic's Jim Ayello points out there's a chance that the 2025 season is quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's last year with the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins aren't in a pretty salary-cap situation moving forward, so if they have a five- or six-win season this year, it's possible that ownership decides it's time for a hard reset. It's quite possible that Miami's decision-makers going into next year think that Tua's concussion history and limitations as a pocket passer don't make him an ideal franchise signal-caller. The former first-rounder's value, both in fantasy and real life, all depend on his health and what he can produce in 2025. If the Dolphins were to cut Tagovailoa after this year, it would come with a hefty $79 million dead-cap hit. There's bounce-back potential for Tua and the Dolphins offense, but fantasy managers shouldn't be taking him as anything more than a QB2 with upside.

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix spent time learning from future Hall of Fame quarterback Drew Brees this offseason, according to head coach Sean Payton. Brees spent 15 seasons with Payton during their time with the New Orleans Saints, leading the NFL in passing seven times, collecting five All-Pro honors, and winning Super Bowl XLIV. Needless to say, Brees could be a valuable mentor for Nix, who is heading into his second NFL season after a fantastic first year in Denver by way of the University of Oregon. Nix started in all 17 of the Broncos' games last year, passing for 3,775 yards, 29 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. He led the organization to its first playoff appearance since Peyton Manning led the team to a Super Bowl 50 victory. Nix has plenty of fantasy football upside thanks to his rushing skill set, and becoming a more polished passer could put him on track to be a consistent fantasy football QB1.
