Who Should I Start? Tua Tagovailoa or Trey Lance

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.

The Dallas Cowboys acquired former third overall pick, quarterback Trey Lance, from the San Francisco 49ers on Friday in exchange for a fourth-round draft pick, according to sources. The writing was on the wall for Lance to find a new home after the Niners announced Sam Darnold as Brock Purdy's backup earlier this week. The Cowboys have Dak Prescott locked in as their starter under center, but the presence of Lance will put some pressure on him to bounce back from a frustrating season in 2022. For now, the 23-year-old Lance will try to continue improving while battling with Cooper Rush for the backup job in his new digs. Until further notice, Lance remains off the fantasy radar in redraft leagues, and his long-term appeal may have only slightly improved with the move to Dallas.
