2025 Fantasy Outlook
After playing a full season for the first time in 2023, Tagovailoa was again felled by injuries last year, missing four games early in the season with a concussion and the final two weeks with a hip injury. He played well in between, but the Dolphins altered their offense to minimize risk and account for a poor offensive line. Tua’s average target depth dropped by more than two yards, to a mere 5.6, the lowest of any 300-attempt QB since David Carr in 2006 (5.5). Tagovailoa slashed his deep-passing rate nearly in half -- from 9.8 percent in 2023 to a league-low 5.0 last year -- and led the league in WR screen percentage. He got the ball out quicker than any QB, with an average time to throw of 2.42 seconds, making him highly dependent on yards after the catch -- two-thirds of his yardage came from YAC, easily the most in the league. It also made the Dolphins far less explosive (45 plays of at least 20 yards, 31st, after 76 in 2023, 4th) and made De’Von Achane the league leader in receptions, yards and receiving TDs by a running back. The Dolphins return their top skill players, but swapped out TE Jonnu Smith (Steelers) for the formerly retired Darren Waller, and Tyreek Hill is unhappy (not hard to see why) after playing through a wrist injury all last season. Unfortunately, the team did little to improve its offensive line this offseason, making it hard to get excited about the new-scheme Tagovailoa even though he's an accurate passer with excellent weapons.

RANKS
Signed a four-year, $212.4 million contract with the Dolphins in July of 2024.
Future in Miami uncertain
Tagovailoa said Monday, in the wake of Miami's season finale loss to the Patriots, that it "would be dope" to get a fresh start with another team during the 2026 season, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Tagovailoa didn't go as far as stating that he plans to request a trade, but he said he "would be good with it" if he were to play elsewhere in 2026. Head coach Mike McDaniel, who Louis-Jacques reports will be part of the team's interview process for its next general manager, said the Dolphins will host a quarterback competition in 2026 and left the door open for rookie Quinn Ewers (knee) to start, but he declined to comment on the decline that led to Tagovailoa being benched in Week 16. Across 14 regular-season appearances, Tagovailoa completed 260 of 384 pass attempts for 2,660 yards, 20 touchdowns and 15 interceptions, while also rushing 20 times for 43 yards and fumbling eight times. He led the NFL in terms of INTs at the time of benching. After having inked him to a four-year, $212.4 million contract in July of 2024, Miami would face a $99.2 million cap hit for 2026 by cutting Tagovailoa before June 1, while releasing him after that date would spread the cap hit across the next two seasons. Given Tagovailoa's salary, finding a trade partner for the 27-year-old signal-caller will be a difficult task to say the least.

Tagovailoa played a full season last year for the first time in his four-year career and ended up leading the league in passing yards (4,624) and throwing 29 TD passes. Those stats were built on efficiency rather than volume too. Tagovailoa ranked 16th in attempts per game (32.9), but his 76.8 percent on-target rate (3rd) led to a 69.3 completion percentage (5th) even as he threw 35.0 percent of attempts beyond 10 yards (4th). He averaged 8.3 yards per attempt, second only to Brock Purdy. Tua particularly shines using his strong arm downfield. He led the league in on-target percentage on attempts of 20-plus yards (65.6), completing half of those (2nd) with a league-high 10 touchdowns. With speedsters Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle at his disposal, Tagovailoa should again have plenty of downfield opportunities. The Dolphins added WR Odell Beckham (for whatever he has left) and TE Jonnu Smith, and they still have the league's fastest backfield with Raheem Mostert and De'Von Achane (combined 52 catches). Coach Mike McDaniel's innovative and dynamic offense should again put Tua in a strong position, but the QB's lack of rushing suppresses his fantasy value -- his career average is 7.2 rushing yards per game. Without meaningful rushing stats, he'll probably need to push toward 600 pass attempts to reach the top 10 of fantasy quarterbacks. Indeed, last season he finished as QB11 despite leading the league in passing yards.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Looking forward to fresh start
Tagovailoa is open to moving on from the Dolphins, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
When asked Monday what he would think about a fresh start with another team, Tagovailoa seemed eager to begin the next chapter of his career. The 27-year-old quarterback was benched late in the season for rookie Quinn Ewers, and while his contract would make it difficult for Miami to simply release him and incur a massive dead cap hit, Tagovailoa could be traded this offseason if the Dolphins are willing to eat some of his salary.
