Who Should I Start? Tua Tagovailoa or Jake Luton

The Palm Beach Post's Joe Schad writes that it appears Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is embracing the challenge to take complete command and become more of a leader in the same offense and under the same head coach for a fourth consecutive season. "(Tua) had the most ownership of all the players on each and every down," head coach Mike McDaniel said during the second week of organized team activities. The former first-rounder came into the league with a propensity to defer to older players, but that's not the case now as he heads into Year 6 in the NFL. "Tua in Year 6, he's definitely a lot more confident and decisive on and off the field," tackle Austin Jackson said. The 27-year-old's 2024 season was derailed by concussion and hip injuries, and he could be one more concussion away from his career being over. But if Tagovailoa can stay healthy, he has the weapons to at least be in the low-end QB1 picture.

The New Orleans Saints signed quarterback Jake Luton to their 53-man roster from their practice squad on Tuesday. Luton's signing is a good indication that the team is preparing to be without starting quarterback Derek Carr (shoulder) for the near future. Luton will serve as the team's backup QB while Jameis Winston runs the offense in Week 4 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Fantasy managers relying on Carr should be making alternate plans at the quarterback position heading into this weekend.
