Tua Tagovailoa Is Hard To Trust Even Against the Jets

Friday, December 5, 6:36 PM

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa continues to post lackluster numbers while continuing to dink and dunk. Last week, he completed 12-of-23 passes for 157 yards and an interception in his team's win over the Saints. While the team has won three straight games, he has thrown for under 200 yards in each contest with two touchdowns and three interceptions. He's averaging 190 passing yards per game on the season with 17 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. The Dolphins have been winning by relying on De'Von Achane and their defense, and they'll likely follow that formula again this week against the Jets, leaving Tua with limited upside. He's the No. 22 QB in RotoBaller's Week 14 rankings, so he can be left on the waiver wire or bench even in two-quarterback leagues.

James Cook Handles Career-High 32 Carries for 144 Yards in Win

Monday, December 1, 12:19 AM

The Buffalo Bills leaned heavily on running back James Cook in their 26-7 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. Cook handled a career high 32 carries for 144 yards to go along with three receptions (three targets) for a team-leading 33 receiving yards. The 26-year-old did it all for the Bills in a much-needed bounce-back win, and he continues to have an outstanding season after receiving a four-year, $48 million contract extension in the offseason. Cook has seen more work as a receiver lately as well, recording 14 receptions (14 targets) for 136 yards and a touchdown in his last four games. In the first eight games, he totaled 13 receptions (15 targets) for 100 yards and no touchdowns as a receiver. Cook will remain one of the best running backs in fantasy in a dream matchup next week against the Cincinnati Bengals.
