Who Should I Start? Tua Tagovailoa or Jayden Daniels

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.

Washington Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury said based on the eye test, that second-year quarterback Jayden Daniels has some put on some weight this offseason. "I'm sure he's a little thicker than he was," Kingsbury said. There was no mandate from the team for Daniels to bulk up after an impressive rookie season in which the 24-year-old threw for 3,568 yards, 25 touchdowns and nine interceptions in 17 regular-season starts while leading the team to an NFC Championship appearance. Despite putting on some good weight, fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried that it will negatively affect Daniels' scrambling abilities after he rushed for 891 yards and six touchdowns in the regular season in 2024. After his big rookie season, Daniels has vaulted quickly into top-five status among QBs in fantasy.
