TuaTagovailoa

News: 5 days agoTagovailoa completed 28 of 36 passes for 288 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions and committed a fumble recovered by Miami in the Dolphins' 34-19 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

Spin: Tagovailoa posted his highest yardage total since Week 1 while tying a season high in completions and establishing a new personal season best in touchdown passes. The 2020 first-round pick connected with Jonnu Smith (one yard, 57 yards) and Tyreek Hill (eight yards) for his trio of scoring tosses, and he helmed an impressive four second-half scoring drives to help the Dolphins win going away. Tagovailoa recorded completions to nine different targets overall, affording him plenty of momentum going into a Week 12 home matchup against the Patriots.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Tagovailoa enters his fifth season with the Dolphins after leading the league in passing yards (4,624) and boasting a completion percentage of 69.3%. Despite these impressive statistics, he has yet to achieve fantasy superstardom. After two strong performances in the first three games of 2023, he struggled to maintain consistency throughout the rest of the season, with only two games exceeding 20 fantasy points and seven below 15. The emergence of Raheem Mostert, De'Von Achane and the Dolphins' running game likely contributed to this inconsistency. Having Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle to throw to boosts Tagovailoa's value, but his inability to produce with his legs caps his ceiling. With essentially the same supporting cast in 2024, he's better suited as a QB2 than a QB1.
