Tua Tagovailoa Cools Off In Week 4 Defeat

Monday, October 2, 12:59 AM

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa completed 25-of-35 passes for 282 yards, one touchdown and an interception in Week 4's 48-20 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Tagovailoa was soundly outdueled by Josh Allen as Miami's humming offense was hushed a bit in this battle of two AFC juggernauts. He had a solid 155-yard first half, but Miami's two touchdowns went to De'Von Achane on the ground over the first two quarters. Tagovailoa hit Braxton Berrios on a 11-yard bullet pass near the back of the end zone to strike first out of the second half's gates and salvage an otherwise dissatisfying fantasy day based on Tagovailoa's brilliant start entering Sunday's affair. After absorbing a season-high four sacks with star left tackle Terron Armstead (knee) exiting this one, the 25-year-old signal-caller should see much cleaner pockets in Week 5 versus a nonexistent New York Giants pass rush with two sacks covering three games.

Kenny Pickett News

Kenny Pickett Scheduled To Practice Wednesday

Tuesday, October 3, 1:08 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said that quarterback Kenny Pickett (knee) is dealing with a bone bruise in his left knee and is scheduled to participate in practice on Wednesday as the team continues to evaluate him. "The more comfortable and functional is, the more work he'll get," Tomlin said. Pickett will most likely be limited, and his status for the Week 5 contest against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens is still up in the air after he was hurt in the Week 4 loss to the Houston Texans. Even if the 25-year-old gets the green light to play this Sunday, he'll be a low-upside QB2 for fantasy managers. Backup Mitch Trubisky would make his first start of the year under center if Pickett is eventually ruled out this weekend.
