Tua Tagovailoa News
Wednesday, September 23, 8:29 AM
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (oblique) will serve as Michael Penix Jr.'s backup for the Thursday night game in Week 3 against the Green Bay Packers, a source told James Palmer of the NFL Network. Tagovailoa was all set to start in Week 1 against the Pittsburgh Steelers before he injured his oblique just days before in practice. He was eventually ruled out, and he also sat out of the team's Week 2 loss to the Carolina Panthers. There was a previous report that suggested that once Penix recovered from his partially torn ACL that he suffered last year, the Falcons could consider releasing Tagovailoa, but that apparently will not happen, at least not for now. After starting Cooper Rush in the first two games of the season, Atlanta's QB room is now fully healthy, with Penix set to make his season debut on Thursday Night Football, and Tagovailoa backing him up. As long as Penix stays healthy this season, Tagovailoa will most likely remain as the Falcons' backup, giving him little fantasy football appeal.

Malik Willis News
Tuesday, September 22, 6:15 AM
Miami Dolphins quarterback Malik Willis has not shown the consistency to be considered as a waiver wire addition at the quarterback position. In Week 2 against the San Francisco 49ers, Willis was just 14-for-23 passing for 197 yards and a passing touchdown and carried the ball two times for six yards. Willis' poor completion rate left something to be desired against the 49ers and the lack of weapons in the Miami passing game is another negative for the signal caller. Willis wasn't much better in Week 1's loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. Willis should be considered a low-end starting quarterback and is not worthy of starting in standard fantasy leagues. The matchup isn't much better for him in Week 3 as the Dolphins take on the Chiefs. Look elsewhere on the waiver wire for quarterback help.
