TuaTagovailoa

News: 14 hours agoTagovailoa completed 29 of 40 passes for 317 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions and rushed three times for minus-2 yards in the Dolphins' 34-15 win over the Patriots on Sunday.

Spin: Tagovailoa displayed his prototypical mastery of head coach Mike McDaniel's offense, connecting with eight different targets and facilitating particularly productive games for Jaylen Waddle (8-144-1) and Jonnu Smith (9-87-1). Tagovailoa's total through the air marked his first time eclipsing the 300-yard mark since Week 1, while his TD tally -- which consisted of scoring tosses to Smith (seven yards), De'Von Achane (nine, 11 yards) and Waddle (23 yards) -- represented a season-high figure. Tagovailoa and his offensive teammates will next look to dispel their reputation for struggling in cold weather when they visit the Packers for a Thanksgiving Night showdown on Thursday.

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.
