MIA QB Tua Tagovailoa - 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Having gotten his big payday after finishing as QB10 for fantasy in 2023, Tua Tagovailoa now looks to improve for 2024. With a stronger surrounding cast thanks to the additions of Odell Beckham Jr., Malik Washington, Jonnu Smith, and Jaylen Wright, the ability to play point guard in head coach Mike McDaniel's offense should be even easier. The added depth should also help take some pressure off of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle as they did last year. Despite finishing as QB10 last year, he's currently going as QB15 on Underdog which leaves some obvious upside if he can improve on last year.

Fantasy Downside
If you're looking to fade Tagovailoa at cost, the story you tell yourself is that he finished QB21 in the season's final five weeks and struggled against the Chiefs in the cold. We can't even blame the weather for the drop in play as four of his final five games in the regular season were in Miami, so maybe teams figured out a thing or two about Mike McDaniel's offense and forced Tua to win games himself and he struggled.

2024 Bottom Line
On paper, the schedule will be difficult in the fantasy playoffs, but it is tough to read too much into it now. At QB15, Tagovailoa seems priced right and can certainly have the spiked weeks to help in best ball or as a QB2 in Superflex. In redraft leagues, he likely isn't in the QB1 conversation and may go undrafted in shallower (8 or 10-team) leagues.

MIA QB Tua Tagovailoa - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Baltimore Ravens

Tua Tagovailoa had a solid outing last week, throwing for 293 yards with a touchdown and no turnovers. Tagovailoa has been playing well in real life lately, but the Dolphins often opt to Raheem Mostert near the goal line for touchdowns. As a result, Tagovailoa has only scored multiple touchdowns in a game once in his last five outings. This week, Tagovailoa will get a tough test against the Ravens (6th aFPA) who just shut down Brock Purdy in Week 16. Tagovailoa isn't the worst choice in Week 17, but we wouldn't blame you for looking at other options. He also could be without one of his top receivers as Jaylen Waddle is dealing with an ankle injury. Tagovailoa is around the QB15 range for Week 17.

MIA QB Tua Tagovailoa - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Dallas Cowboys

Tua Tagovailoa had a great game last week as an actual QB, completing 21 of his 24 passes for 224 yards and one touchdown with no turnovers. But it didn't translate to a great fantasy day as the Dolphins mostly relied on their run game with Tyreek Hill inactive. Expect Tagovailoa to have more than 24 pass attempts this week as he faces the Cowboys (14th aFPA) in what could be a high-scoring game between two of the best offenses. Hill is also expected back from him ankle injury, giving Tagovailoa his top weapon back. Tagovailoa can be viewed as a top 10 option at QB in Week 16.

MIA QB Tua Tagovailoa - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. New York Jets

Tua Tagovailoa had a good game in real life last week, but it didn't translate to much in fantasy. The Dolphins QB finished with 240 yards, but had no touchdowns and a lost fumble. This was the first time all season Tagovailoa finished without at least one score in a game. Unfortunately, things don't get much easier this week as Tagovailoa faces a brutal Jets defense that's 1st in aFPA to QBs. The Jets' record may not be impressive this season, but their pass defense is. If you have a better option available, this wouldn't be a bad week to bench Tagovailoa. But we wouldn't get too desperate as he's still a top 15 option at the position this week. Tagovailoa threw for 243 yards with one touchdown and three turnovers when he played the Jets earlier this season.

MIA QB Tua Tagovailoa - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. Tennessee Titans

Tua Tagovailoa had an efficient game last week, finishing with 280 yards with two touchdowns an no turnovers. Tagovailoa could have had an ever bigger game, but he finished with a season-low 24 pass attempts because the game was pretty much over by halftime. This week Tagovailoa faces the Titans who are 18th in aFPA to QBs. Tagovailoa should continue to produce at a high level given the decent matchup. He should be viewed as a near top five QB for Week 14.

MIA QB Tua Tagovailoa - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at Washington Commanders

Tua Tagovailoa struggled a bit last week in a tough matchup, throwing for 243 yards with one touchdown and three turnovers. Tagovailoa has struggled with turnovers this season as he's currently 4th in the league in total turnovers (14) this season. He'll look to reverse that trend in Week 13 as he faces a favorable Commanders defense. Washington has given up the most average fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks this season. With Miami's high-powered offense in this matchup, we like Tagovailoa a lot in Week 13. He should be viewed as a top five option at the position.

MIA QB Tua Tagovailoa - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at New York Jets

Tua Tagovailoa was productive last week, throwing for 325 yards and two touchdowns. But he was uncharacteristically turnover prone as he threw an interception and lost a fumble. Tagovailoa is on pace for a career season as he's averaging 293.4 pass yards per game. He's also just four scores away from tying his career high in passing touchdowns for a single season. As for this week, Tagovailoa draws a tough matchup against a good Jets defense who are 5th in aFPA to QBs. Tagovailoa is still in QB1 range if he's your main QB this week, but if you have a backup option like C.J. Stroud or Kyler Murray then you may look elsewhere given the tough matchup.
