Tua Tagovailoa Fantasy

The Miami Dolphins aren't opposed to playing quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, the No. 5 overall pick in this year's draft, in his rookie season. Veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick is expected to start the season under center, especially given how well he played last year, but Fitzpatrick as the team's starter could just be temporary in 2020. Fitzpatrick also has an advantage in knowing offensive coordinator Chan Gailey's system from their time with the Bills and the Jets, and Tagovailoa is at a disadvantage because of the lack of on-field work he's had amid the coronavirus pandemic this spring. But if Tagovailoa impresses in training camp, Fitzpatrick's starting leash could be shortened. The rookie QB has plenty of long-term upside, but he'll be more attractive in dynasty/keeper leagues in his first season in the NFL.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick has been supportive of rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. The 37-year-old is fully aware the No. 5 overall pick from Alabama will likely take over the starting role at some point. However, Fitzpatrick said that he is competitive and won't give up the starting quarterback spot without a fight. "I want to go out there and start. I know there are a lot of forces that go into it from all kinds of different sides," says Fitzpatrick. Last season, Fitzpatrick threw for 3,529 passing yards with 20 touchdowns and 13 interceptions through 15 games. Tagovailoa is coming off major hip surgery, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Fitzpatrick begin the season as the starting quarterback.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has officially agreed to a four-year deal worth $30.2 million. The deal comes with a fifth-year option, but that is the case for all first-round draft picks. Tagovailoa will receive a $19.6 million signing bonus, and it's fully guaranteed. The Alabama quarterback was headed towards being the No. 1 overall pick, but having season-ending hip surgery crushed those dreams. The Dolphins took Tagovailoa with the No. 5 overall selection during the 2020 NFL Draft. There are obvious injury concerns, but Tagovailoa could be their franchise quarterback, assuming he's able to stay healthy. He's expected to compete for the starting quarterback spot with Ryan Fitzpatrick during training camp.
