Who Should I Start? Tua Tagovailoa or C.J. Stroud

Saturday, November 23, 8:12 AM

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa enters Week 12, coming off his best performance of the season. Miami put up their season high in points in a game this season with their 34-19 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. The offense has scored 27-plus points in three of their last four games. This week presents a matchup against a New England Patriots unit that ranks 18th in total fantasy points allowed to quarterbacks this season. Tagovailoa has success in his career against New England, going (6-0) with a 92.2 passer rating. In 2024, New England's defense has allowed an average passer rating of 107.7 and has allowed 1,033 yards after the catch. Big plays could be coming this week. Tagovailoa is a great start and comes in as the QB11 for the weekly RotoBaller rankings.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud should mostly be kept to Superflex duty as his team takes on the solid Tennessee Titans defense in Week 12. The Ohio State product has had an up-and-down second season, ranking a disappointing 17th among fantasy quarterbacks after his breakout rookie campaign. Part of the struggle has been pass protection, as Houston has allowed the third-most sacks in the league. Tennessee, despite its 2-8 record, has allowed the fewest air yards in the league and has been a competent defense. Stroud has his top playmaker back in receiver Nico Collins, but with this matchup, managers in 1QB formats should be weighing their other possible options.
