While it's probably unlikely, The Athletic's Jim Ayello points out there's a chance that the 2025 season is quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's last year with the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins aren't in a pretty salary-cap situation moving forward, so if they have a five- or six-win season this year, it's possible that ownership decides it's time for a hard reset. It's quite possible that Miami's decision-makers going into next year think that Tua's concussion history and limitations as a pocket passer don't make him an ideal franchise signal-caller. The former first-rounder's value, both in fantasy and real life, all depend on his health and what he can produce in 2025. If the Dolphins were to cut Tagovailoa after this year, it would come with a hefty $79 million dead-cap hit. There's bounce-back potential for Tua and the Dolphins offense, but fantasy managers shouldn't be taking him as anything more than a QB2 with upside.

New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields (toe) plans to practice with a plastic shield on his cleats for the next couple of weeks, Rich Cimini of ESPN reports. Fields is taking precautions after he suffered a dislocated toe on his right foot last Thursday. The 26-year-old, who returned to team drills Monday, said that the injury is "working its way back to 100%" That's a relief for both the Jets and fantasy managers, as so much of Fields' value depends on his elite mobility. The former Chicago Bear and Pittsburgh Steeler hasn't fared great as a passer since entering the league in 2021, but he has been a force on the ground.
