Who Should I Start? Tua Tagovailoa or Tyler Huntley

Tuesday, January 7, 4:35 PM

Miami Dolphins general manager Chris Grier said on Tuesday that there is "no concern at all" for quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's (hip) long-term health after a unique hip injury sidelined him for the final two games of the 2024 season. It's good news, but it also doesn't mean the 26-year-old former first-rounder won't be one of the biggest injury risks at the QB position in 2025. Tagovailoa missed four games while on Injured Reserve this season due to yet another scary concussion and finished with 2,867 passing yards, 19 touchdowns, seven interceptions and a league-best 72.9% completion percentage in 11 starts after his breakout 2023 campaign. In addition to his injury concerns, the Dolphins could have trouble retaining star wideout Tyreek Hill after he voiced his willingness to leave the organization. Injuries and lack of downfield passing will push Tagovailoa down to the QB2 ranks in fantasy in 2025.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tyler Huntley completed 25 of 41 passes for 227 yards, one passing touchdown, and two interceptions in the Week 18, 32-20 loss to the New York Jets. He also added three rushing attempts for 16 yards. This was a poor showing for the Dolphins all around, and admittedly, many were watching the scoreboard as the Denver Broncos were pummeling the Kansas City Chiefs, crushing their playoff hopes. After a promising performance last week against the Cleveland Browns, Huntley came back down to earth with two bad interceptions and several missed easy throws. Miami will now continue their playoff-winning drought to 24 years. It is unknown whether Huntley will return to the Dolphins, but he figures to be the backup quarterback when next season starts.
