TuaTagovailoa

News: 1 day agoCoach Mike McDaniel said Monday that the Dolphins don't yet have enough information to decide whether to place Tagovailoa (concussion) on injured reserve, Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald reports.

Spin: McDaniel confirmed that Tagovailoa remains in the concussion protocol and will be meeting with outside specialists, per Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network. While the Dolphins haven't yet officially ruled Tagovailoa out to play Week 3 against the Seahawks, it seems almost assured that Skylar Thompson will start at least that game. The team also brought in Tyler Huntley off Baltimore's practice squad Monday to act as a Week 3 backup option, per Adam H. Beasley of ProFootballNetwork.com. Placing Tagovailoa on IR would rule him out for at least Miami's next four games, and it appears that the team intends to await the results of Tagovailoa's upcoming meetings with neurologists this week before making any decision. In the event that Tagovailoa is cleared to continue his NFL career and decides to do so, it remains to be seen when he will be given the green light to resume taking part in football activities.

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.
