Tua Tagovailoa Fantasy

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) received negative X-ray results on the bruised ribs he suffered against the Buffalo Bills in Week 2. The sophomore exited the game early, and the Miami offense struggled in his absence. Luckily, it does not seem like something that will cause him to miss too much time, but it could be worth noting that he will have to deal with pain moving forward. When he returns to the lineup, he will remain a QB2 for fantasy managers until he can prove to be a consistent option. As of now, Tagovailoa should be left on the bench in conventional formats. Jacoby Brissett, who came on in relief of the injured Tagovailoa in Week 2, would likely start under center in Week 3 against the Las Vegas Raiders if Tagovailoa can't tolerate the pain.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa suffered bruised ribs in Sunday's game against the Bills and will have an MRI on Monday to confirm the injury. Tua is still technically questionable to return, but we should expect to see Jacoby Brissett in at quarterback for the rest of this game. Tagovailoa was 1-for-4 for 13 yards before exiting. If the injury is just a bruise, don't expect to see Tagovailoa miss much -- if any -- time going forward.

Updating a previous report, Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa(rib) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bills with a rib injury. Tagovailoa left the field in pain in the first quarter and was carted to the locker room. It was initially unclear what the injury to Tagovailoa was, but a rib injury seems like a better scenario than if Tagovailoa had suffered a lower-body injury. Jacoby Brissett is currently in at quarterback. If Tua doesn't return, he'll end the game 1-for-4 for 13 yards.
