Who Should I Start? Tua Tagovailoa or Cameron Ward

Sunday, December 21, 12:54 PM

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was demoted to the third-string role ahead of Week 16, and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Tagovailoa has likely played his final snap with the team. Barring something unexpected, Miami will finish the year with Quinn Ewers and Zach Wilson as its active quarterbacks before re-evaluating the position group sans Tagovailoa during the offseason. Specifically, Rapoport said on Sunday that the Dolphins hope to trade Tagovailoa within the upcoming months. With that said, it may be tough to find a suitor who wants to take on the former first-round pick and the approximate $175 million cap hit that he carries over the next three years, especially after a tumultuous campaign in which he tallied 20 touchdowns and 15 interceptions.

Tennessee Titans quarterback Cameron Ward is finally showing signs of solid progression over the last few weeks. The rookie signal-caller has thrown for multiple touchdowns in three straight games. The passing yardage has still been a problem, with less than 200 passing yards in three of his last four games. Ward is working with a skeleton crew of a supporting cast, so he does deserve the benefit of the doubt. The 23-year-old will head into a decent matchup against the New Orleans Saints in Week 17. Ward's six touchdowns over his last three games should bring some eyes to him ahead of this game. There's probably not enough upside here to trust Ward as anything more than a QB2 in SuperFlex leagues.
