Who Should I Start? Tua Tagovailoa or Jaxson Dart

Tuesday, January 7, 4:35 PM

Miami Dolphins general manager Chris Grier said on Tuesday that there is "no concern at all" for quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's (hip) long-term health after a unique hip injury sidelined him for the final two games of the 2024 season. It's good news, but it also doesn't mean the 26-year-old former first-rounder won't be one of the biggest injury risks at the QB position in 2025. Tagovailoa missed four games while on Injured Reserve this season due to yet another scary concussion and finished with 2,867 passing yards, 19 touchdowns, seven interceptions and a league-best 72.9% completion percentage in 11 starts after his breakout 2023 campaign. In addition to his injury concerns, the Dolphins could have trouble retaining star wideout Tyreek Hill after he voiced his willingness to leave the organization. Injuries and lack of downfield passing will push Tagovailoa down to the QB2 ranks in fantasy in 2025.

The New York Giants eventually expect rookie first-round quarterback Jaxson Dart to be their starting QB and the face of their franchise, but they won't put any pressure on him to be their QB1 before they feel he is ready for the job. Until then, the coaching staff will try to do everything they can to help the 21-year-old signal-caller become the best QB he can be. "He's got the makings of a good quarterback, and there's a long way to go. There's a developmental process that he's going to have to go through. Again, these offenses are not easy to learn, and the execution has to be at a high level," general manager Joe Schoen said. When rookie minicamp starts this Friday, Dart will merely be looking to get comfortable with the offensive scheme. Russell Wilson is going to start the year under center in New York, and depending on how the season goes, Dart could sit and learn all year.
