Tua Tagovailoa Lacks Long-Term Appeal in Dynasty Leagues

Thursday, May 7, 7:10 AM

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has the potential to be a short-term option in fantasy football, but he lacks long-term upside in dynasty leagues. Tagovailoa signed with the Falcons this offseason after being released by the Miami Dolphins. He may open the 2026 season as Atlanta's starter since Michael Penix Jr. (knee) is still recovering from his torn ACL, but the job belongs to Penix when he's healthy. Recent comments from president of football Matt Ryan seem to indicate that Penix's recovery is either on schedule or behind schedule, so Tagovailoa could be a QB2 option through the first few weeks of the season. Once Penix returns, though, Tagovailoa will head to the bench, where he'll face an uphill battle to reclaim any starting role, at least as long as he remains in Atlanta. He was the QB9 in 2023, but he's coming off a disastrous 2025 campaign in which he threw for 20 touchdowns and 15 interceptions.

Is Jordan Love's Dynasty Upside Fading Entering 2026?

Thursday, May 7, 11:51 AM

Across 15 starts in 2026, Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love completed 66.3% of his pass attempts for 3,381 yards, 23 touchdowns, and six interceptions. On arm talent alone, Love's fantasy upside appears to be higher than his QB17 and QB15 finishes of the past two seasons. However, Green Bay has been one of the most run-heavy offenses in the NFL in recent years and seems likely to profile similarly going forward. Love could also be working with a diminished group of pass-catchers in 2026. The Packers let wide receiver Romeo Doubs walk in free agency, and star tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) is working his way back from the torn ACL that ended his 2025 season. Love still carries some degree of dynasty upside as he enters his age-28 campaign, but he may be settling in as more of a fringe starter in single-QB formats.
