MIA QB Tua Tagovailoa - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. San Francisco 49ers

Without his left tackle and losing WR Jaylen Waddle during the game, things got ugly fast for Tua Tagovailoa against the Texans. It could be another ugly week without Waddle, but on the plus side both tackles are questionable this week after missing last week.

On the downside, the 49ers are 4th aFPA against opposing quarterbacks this season. Tagovailoa checks in as QB14 this week, so he's a QB2 and can likely be benched in standard leagues. In superflex leagues, you will likely have to roll the dice that Tagovailoa can rebound against tougher competition this week.

MIA QB Tua Tagovailoa - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Houston Texans

Ever since returning from his concussion, Tua Tagovailoa has been playing fantastic. Outside of the first half in Green Bay, he's been one of the better fantasy assets at the QB position since his return. Even better, he's getting Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle more involved.

Tagovailoa has a neutral matchup against the Texans, who rank 16th in aFPA against quarterbacks this season. While not the best matchup, given the Texans' solid pass rush, Houston can be beat through the air. Even with a full slate of games this week, Tagovailoa checks in as a QB1. Start Tagovailoa with confidence.

MIA QB Tua Tagovailoa - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs New York Jets

As the Jets continue to look like a team that has given up, this looks like a solid week for a get-right spot for the Dolphins and Tua Tagovailoa after a dud against the Packers on Thanksgiving. Add in the fact that the Jets will be without Sauce Gardner which certainly helps. Tagovailoa ended up with solid stats against the Packers, but the game was largely out of hand by the time the Dolphins offense got going.

The Jets are 22nd aFPA against quarterbacks, which makes this a solid matchup against New York. The Dolphins should be able to take advantage and that makes Tagovailoa an easy QB1 this week. He's in your lineup if you have him.

MIA QB Tua Tagovailoa - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Green Bay Packers

You're going to hear a lot about the weather in Green Bay tomorrow, and a lot about how well Tua Tagovailoa has been playing lately. It's all fair! Tagovailoa was on fire against New England and even got Jaylen Waddle going, which seemed impossible the last few weeks.

However, Green Bay is 5th aFPA against quarterbacks this season. Add in that Tagovailoa is 0-7 in games with temperatures under 40 degrees, and tomorrow should be around 22-24 degrees, and we are looking at the makings of a tough matchup. Tagovailoa is viable on the 3-game DFS slate for Thanksgiving and in superflex, but in standard leagues, you should likely look elsewhere. He's a QB2 with a lower ceiling than normal.

MIA QB Tua Tagovailoa - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs. New England Patriots

Sure, it was the Raiders, but that was an encouraging performance last week from Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins passing game. It's not a difficult matchup against the Patriots this week, but Christian Gonzalez getting added to the injury report could be incredible for Tagovailoa and the passing game.

The Patriots are 23rd aFPA against quarterbacks and things could be even easier without the aforementioned Gonzalez. Tagovailoa is a back-end QB1 on the week and the lack of a real pass rush from New England should give him time to pick them apart. Start him confidently.

MIA QB Tua Tagovailoa - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Las Vegas Raiders

In what should have been a better game against the Rams, Tua Tagovailoa was accurate, but not explosive or efficient. The Rams had given up big plays all season and Tagovailoa, Tyreek Hill, and Jaylen Waddle weren't able to take advantage. We'll see if it was just shaking some rust off or if this offense is in trouble.

The Raiders are an incredible matchup for opposing quarterbacks as they are 25th aFPA. This should be a big week for Tagovailoa, but we have a few concerns about the efficiency of the offense right now. Still, Tagovailoa is a top-end QB2 this week with appeal in standard leagues and superflex alike.

MIA QB Tua Tagovailoa - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 at Los Angeles Rams

After struggling for a lot of his career against the Bills, Tua Tagovailoa had a super-efficient performance last week going 25-for-28 for 231 yards and 2 touchdowns. The Dolphins' offense is fully healthy now and with an easier matchup coming up, should be able to be more explosive.

The Rams are 21st aFPA against quarterbacks this season and we should see a high-scoring game with a total at 48.5 this week. The Dolphins and Tagovailoa should find the sledding easier than against the Bills for explosive plays. Tagovailoa is a QB1 this week and is a start in all formats.
