Tua Tagovailoa Throws for Three Touchdowns as Dolphins Blow Lead

Sunday, October 5, 7:44 PM

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa completed 27 of 36 pass attempts for 256 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 5 loss against the Carolina Panthers. He also rushed for five yards and took three sacks. Tagovailoa played well early in the game, pulling out to a 17-0 lead. However, Miami's offense eventually stalled and lost to the Panthers after a fourth quarter that saw three different lead changes. Fortunately for Tagovailoa's fantasy managers, his fantasy score doesn't factor in whether the Dolphins won or lost. As long as Miami is playing in close games or trailing, Tagovailoa will be passing a lot, which gives him plenty of fantasy upside going forward. He's a high-end QB2 in fantasy football heading into Week 6 against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Jalen Hurts has Big Day Through the Air as Eagles Fall Short to Take First Loss

Sunday, October 5, 10:54 PM

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts had a strong day for his fantasy managers through the air, but it came in the team's first loss of the season in a 21-17 defeat at home to the Denver Broncos in Week 5. Hurts went 23-for-38 passing for 280 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions. The 27-year-old only ran the ball two times for three yards while being sacked a season-high six times for a loss of 23 yards. Hurts' pass attempts, completions, and passing yardage were all season highs, and he has now thrown for multiple touchdown passes in the last three weeks. Given the strong defensive opponent, Hurts' overall performance was pretty impressive, but he was also unable to close out the visiting Broncos after leading for the majority of the game. Hurts has high-end QB1 upside because he can do it with both his arms and his legs, and he'll have a better matchup on Thursday night in Week 6 when the Eagles play the division-rival New York Giants.
