Tua Tagovailoa Fantasy

The Miami Dolphins announced on Monday that they have officially exercised quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's fifth-year option. The move will guarantee him $23.2 million in 2024. It shouldn't come as much of a surprise, though, as the organization has continued to say that Tagovailoa remains in their long-term plans despite the fact that he suffered two documented concussions in 2022. When he was on the field, the 25-year-old had the best season of his young career in head coach Mike McDaniel's offense, completing 64.8 percent of his passes for a career-high 3,548 yards, 25 touchdowns and eight interceptions in 13 starts. With receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle at his disposal, Tagovailoa should be considered an injury-prone, low-end QB1 by fantasy managers.

According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, the Dolphins plan to exercise the fifth-year option on quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. The signal-caller is coming off the best year of his career, finishing with 3,548 passing yards, 25 touchdowns, and eight interceptions while completing nearly 65% of his throws. However, Tagovailoa hasn't played an entire season since entering the league, including missing four games in 2022-23 because of concussions. Nevertheless, Miami will now have some much-needed wiggle room to see if the 25-year-old can stay healthy without locking him into a long-term deal. But if Tagovailoa can't remain on the field, the franchise could move in a different direction at the quarterback spot.

The Miami Dolphins have informed quarterback Tua Tagovailoa that they are picking up his fifth-year option, according to sources. Once it's officially exercised, he will be guaranteed $23.2 million for the 2024 season. It's another indication that the team is confident that Tagovailoa will be their franchise signal-caller for a long time. Miami has said all along this offseason that they are committed to the 25-year-old, despite two documented concussions that limited him to 13 games in 2022. The former fifth overall pick in 2020 did have his best season last year before injuries struck, and the Dolphins are confident he'll continue to grow under head coach Mike McDaniel. Injuries will continue to make Tagovailoa risky in fantasy football, but when he's healthy, he has QB1 upside.
