2024 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Clear for Sunday
Tagovailoa (hip) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game versus the 49ers, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Tagovailoa opened Week 16 prep with back-to-back limited practices due to a hip injury, but offensive coordinator Frank Smith told Furones on Thursday that the quarterback's health wasn't a concern. Indeed, Tagovailoa capped the week with a full session Friday, paving the way for him to continue to direct the Dolphins offense. Having said that, he likely will be working with a depleted receiving corps Sunday, as Tyreek Hill (wrist/personal) is listed as questionable, while both Jaylen Waddle (knee) and Dee Eskridge (knee) are doubtful to suit up.

2020
Multiple concussions marred what was otherwise a fantastic season for Tagovailoa last year. The Dolphins gave him an offensive-minded coach in Mike McDaniel and the league’s best deep threat in Tyreek Hill, and Tua took advantage. After ranking 29th in average target depth (7.0) in 2021, Tagovailoa was second in the league last year at 10.0 yards. That propelled him to an NFL-high 8.9 YPA, and with a 25/8 TD/INT ratio (5th) he led the league in passer rating at 105.5. Even with a commensurate drop in accuracy that comes with longer throws, Tagovailoa finished 10th in the league on-target percentage (74.0). The only thing that slowed him was injury, as he missed two early season games and then the final two games (plus the Dolphins’ wild-card loss) with concussions. He’s healthy entering this season, though, and has perhaps the league’s best WR duo in Hill and Jaylen Waddle, who combined for 3,066 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns last year. Tight end Mike Gesicki left in free agency, but the Dolphins didn't get much out of him anyway. Last season’s concussions don’t necessarily make Tua more prone to a head injury this year, but the Dolphins, who were criticized for their handling of his first concussion, figure to be more cautious if Tua is injured this season. The history of missed games adds some risk, and Tua doesn’t get much rushing production, but those are about the only drawbacks with the strong-armed and accurate Tagovailoa as a fantasy quarterback.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Hip isn't a concern
Offensive coordinator Frank Smith said that Tagovailoa's hip injury isn't concerning, per David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel, so the quarterback isn't in danger of sitting out Sunday against the 49ers despite being limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Smith added that every player is dealing with some level of injury at this late stage of the season, so Tagovailoa's practice reps being managed isn't anything out of the ordinary. Tua had helped ignite a late-season Dolphins surge by throwing 11 touchdown passes without an interception in a four-week span during which Miami went 3-1 to put a glimmer of hope for a playoff berth back on the table, but the offense came crashing down in the 20-12 Week 15 loss to Houston, as Tagovailoa was picked off three times and threw only one touchdown pass.
