Who Should I Start? Tua Tagovailoa or Caleb Williams

Former Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa plans to sign an undisclosed one-year deal with the Atlanta Falcons, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Falcons will now have two left-handed signal-callers in Tagovailoa and Michael Penix Jr. (knee) as they head into the 2026 season. Tagovailoa, the fifth overall pick by Miami in 2020 out of Alabama, was benched late last year in favor of rookie QB Quinn Ewers. He completed 67.7% of his pass attempts for 2,660 yards, 20 touchdowns, and a career-high 15 interceptions in his 14 starts just two years after leading the NFL with 4,624 passing yards. Opponents quickly adjusted to Miami's speed-based offense, with Tagovailoa rarely challenged secondaries deep down the field. The 28-year-old also has a scary history with concussions, so much so that his career could be in danger if he suffers one more head injury. Tagovailoa will have a chance to win a starting job with Atlanta if Penix isn't healthy following ACL surgery, but even if he does, he'll be no more than a low-end QB2 in superflex leagues until he can prove otherwise.
