Who Should I Start? Tua Tagovailoa or Justin Fields

Tuesday, December 2, 11:20 AM

Across 12 games this season, Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has completed 67.2% of his pass attempts for 2,280 yards, 17 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions. While the 27-year-old's numbers do not jump off the page, Miami has played its best football in recent weeks, winning three straight games and four out of its last five heading into Week 14. Tagovailoa should have an opportunity to post solid numbers in a favorable matchup in Week 14 against the New York Jets. In his first matchup against New York back in Week 4, Tagovailoa threw for 177 yards and two touchdowns. His lack of rushing ability limits his fantasy upside. However, in deeper fantasy leagues or two-quarterback formats, Tagovailoa could be a solid streaming option off the waiver wire in Week 14.

The New York Jets made the move from quarterback Justin Fields to veteran Tyrod Taylor in the Week 12 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, and Fields will sit out a second straight game in Week 13 when the team takes on the visiting Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. Although the Jets lost another game to Baltimore last weekend, Taylor did improve the passing game slightly, throwing for 222 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Fields limited his turnovers in his nine starts, but the Jets went 2-7, and he threw for only 1,259 yards and seven touchdowns over that span. He added 71 rushing attempts for 383 yards and four touchdowns on the ground. Fiels is under contract for next season, the second of his two-year, $40 million contract, and the Jets would still owe him $10 million guaranteed if they decided to cut him following this season.
