Dolphins
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) is coming off a solid return last week vs. the Arizona Cardinals. He completed 28 of 38 passes for 234 yards and one touchdown, adding 13 yards on three rushing attempts. That being said, his outlook for Week 9 doesn't look as great. Miami will travel to take on their division rival Buffalo Bills, whom Tagovailoa has struggled against. In eight games against Buffalo, he's averaged 199.9 passing yards, 0.9 touchdowns, and 1.3 interceptions per contest. His passer rating also drops to 74.1 compared to the 96.4 career mark. Not helping matters is the fact that Buffalo's defense gives up the sixth-fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. With temperatures projected to drop into the thirties in Orchard Park, that does not bode well for the passing attack. It's safe to say Tagovailoa should stay on the bench this week and comes in at number 18 in this week's RotoBaller quarterback rankings, making him more of a play in 2QB or Superflex leagues.

Tua Tagovailoa Has A Solid Performance In Return
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) returned to action on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals after missing the last four games due to a concussion. The 26-year-old completed 28 of 38 pass attempts for 234 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 28-27 loss. He also rushed the ball three times for 13 yards. The offense looked much more explosive, as expected, compared to the previous four weeks with Skylar Thompson, Tyler Huntley, and Tim Boyle. Another encouraging sign was how well the offensive line was pass-protecting compared to previous weeks. With the return of guard Isaiah Wynn looming, the pass protection only looks to improve. Fantasy managers must be pleased with his progress, considering the circumstances he has faced this year. Next Sunday, Tagovailoa and the Dolphins will travel to Buffalo to face their division rival, whom he has struggled against in his career.

Fins Officially Activate Tua Tagovailoa
Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) has been officially activated off the team's injured reserve ahead of Sunday's outing against the Arizona Cardinals. The Dolphins released quarterback Tim Boyle in a corresponding move. It's merely a formality, as Jonathan Jones of CBS reported on Friday that Tagovailoa would be getting the start in Week 8. It is fantastic news for the Dolphins and fantasy managers, as the team has scored just three offensive touchdowns in his absence. The Alabama product should be an immediate boost to the outlook of all Dolphins' skill players. Arizona is one of the league's better matchups for opposing passing attacks, letting up the second-most yards per pass play (7.4). The 26-year-old will be a high-end QB2 for the contest and is RotoBaller's QB14 in this week's rankings.

Tua Tagovailoa Clears Concussion Protocol, Will Start On Sunday
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) has cleared concussion protocol and will get the starting nod on Sunday when the Dolphins face the Arizona Cardinals. Tagovailoa has been sidelined since suffering a concussion during the second week of the season. In his absence, the Miami offense has struggled as they never eclipsed 20 total points in a game without him. Fantasy managers in deeper 1QB formats should feel comfortable starting the Alabama product as he scored 22.0 points in the season opener and 13.0 before leaving Week 2 early. The Cardinals have allowed the 28th-most PPR points to opposing QBs. In addition, Tagovailoa's return also gives a significant boost to Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle who should be viewed as must-start options going forward.

Tua Tagovailoa Upgrades To Full Practice On Thursday
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) was upgraded to a full practice session on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. As a full practice participant, Tagovailoa can now meet with an independent neurological consultant for full clearance from the NFL's concussion protocol before Sunday's Week 8 game against the Arizona Cardinals. Meanwhile, Tyler Huntley (shoulder) missed a second straight practice on Thursday. Nothing is official yet, but all signs point to the 26-year-old Tagovailoa coming off Injured Reserve and playing this weekend for the first time since suffering his latest concussion in Week 2. Not only is Tua's matchup against Arizona a good one -- they've allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to QBs in 2024 -- but his return should do wonders for the fantasy value of both receivers Tyreek Hill (foot) and Jaylen Waddle (quadriceps).

Tua Tagovailoa Tracking Toward Week 8 Return
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) is reportedly trending to play this Sunday when his team squares off against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 8, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Pelissero also noted he was told that "Tua looks like Tua. He's ripping it all over the field, hitting bombs to Tyreek Hill. This is the guy they've been missing." It's a positive start to the week for the fifth-year QB, who is still required to gain clearance from an independent neurologist as his last hurdle of clearing the league's concussion protocol. Miami's offense desperately needs a spark, scoring just three touchdowns since the Alabama product's exit from the team's Week 2 loss to the Bills. If Tagovailoa can play, he'd give them just that. Fantasy managers will want to monitor him over the next day or so, as he'd supply a large boost to the Dolphins' skill players if active.

Tua Tagovailoa Officially Back At Practice
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) was officially back at practice on Wednesday and has a chance to come off Injured Reserve and play this Sunday against the visiting Arizona Cardinals. It was reported on Tuesday that Tagovailoa would be a full-go in practice on Wednesday, so as long as he doesn't suffer a setback at practice, he could be cleared by an independent neurologist later this week and get the green light to return for the first time since suffering another scary concussion in Week 2. The 26-year-old obviously is an extreme injury risk and could be one more head injury from retirement, but he has low-end QB1 appeal in the right matchups when healthy. Tagovailoa's impending return is great news for fantasy managers of receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, who have been untrustworthy ever since Tagovailoa was injured. UPDATE: Tagovailoa was limited in Wednesday's practice.

Tua Tagovailoa Expected To Practice On Wednesday
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) is expected to suit up for practice on Wednesday and be a full participant. This would be the first time that Tagovailoa has practiced since exiting the Week 2 matchup against the Buffalo Bills due to a concussion. There were rumors about Tagovailoa being done for the season if not having his career ended over concussions. However, Tagovailoa appears to be on track to start against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 8, barring any setbacks. His return to the field is a welcoming sight and he should boost the fantasy value of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle who are off to sluggish starts with the Dolphins backups.

Tua Tagovailoa Designated To Return From IR, Could Return In Week 8
The Miami Dolphins designated quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) to return from Injured Reserve on Monday with the hopes that he can return to play this Sunday in Week 8 to face the Arizona Cardinals. Tagovailoa isn't guaranteed to play this weekend, but if he looks good in practice during the week, Miami could officially activate him from IR by Saturday and have him start on Sunday. The 26-year-old lefty signal-caller suffered his fourth concussion in five years in the Week 2 loss to the division-rival Buffalo Bills and has been on IR ever since. However, after consulting with doctors and specialists, Tagovailoa not only made the decision to continue his career, but to try and return this year. Tagovailoa is obviously an extreme injury risk moving forward, but his return to the field should drastically boost the fantasy values of all of Miami's offensive skill players, most notably Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.

Tua Tagovailoa Set To Practice, Could Start Week 8
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) is set to practice ahead of Week 8 and could make his return as the team's starter next Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, according to Dianna Russini of The Athletic. This is the fastest possible return for Tagovailoa, whose placement on injured reserve required him to stay on the sideline for four games before he could return to practice or game action. This Sunday's Dolphins-Colts clash is the fourth game he'll miss, and it sounds like he'll get back on the field as soon as he's eligible next week. We previously heard that Tagovailoa is symptom-free and has no intentions of retiring at the moment. Once he does return to the field, he'll rank as a fringe top-12 fantasy quarterback. Perhaps more importantly, he'll boost the fantasy values of Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, and De'Von Achane, among others.
