Tua Tagovailoa Fantasy

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill said that quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is more accurate than his former QB Patrick Mahomes. "Obviously, like I'm gonna go with 15 (Mahomes) as the strongest arm, but as far as accuracy-wise, I'm going with Tua all day," Hill said. Per Pro Football Focus, Mahomes was actually slightly more accurate than Tagovailoa the last two seasons. "I've had a chance to see Tua throw the ball, to myself, but ... he's that dude, bro," Hill said. The knock on Tagovailoa in his first two seasons is that he doesn't have a strong arm, and he hasn't thrown deep often, with only 9% of his throws traveling at least 20 yards downfield. The 24-year-old might go deep more often with Hill now in the fold, and Tagovailoa has enough weapons to have a breakout in Year 3.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has plenty of pressure on him as he enters his third year at the professional level. However, after two subpar seasons, he'll have a good chance of turning things around, especially with Jaylen Waddle and former Chiefs receiverTyreek Hill on the roster. It appears Tagovailoa and Hill have already hit it off as well, with the wideout recently stating that the former Alabama signal-caller is more accurate than Patrick Mahomes. Nevertheless, whether the 24-year-old surpasses Mahomes' production in 2022-23 is yet to be seen. Still, with more than enough weapons, Tagovailoa has an excellent chance of having a breakout year, making him a perfect option for fantasy managers looking for a backup in redraft formats or a second quarterback in Superflex leagues.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa completed two deep passes to new wide receiver Tyreek Hill -- for 45 and 55 yards -- at Thursday's offseason practice. One of the main criticisms of Tagovailoa since he entered the league was his perceived inability to throw the ball deep. Since his rookie season, he ranks 30th among qualified passers in average air yards per attempt at 7.13 yards. However, Tagovailoa led the league last year in completion percentage on passes at least 25 yards downfield by completing 50% of them, although he attempted just 18 such passes, second-fewest in the league. The 24-year-old claims he didn't throw deep much in 2021 because of the team's play-calling. The former fifth overall pick feels more confident going deep now and worked for much of the offseason to improve his arm strength and mobility. Having Hill and Jaylen Waddle as his top two receivers will help tremendously as well, and Tagovailoa could make a huge third-year leap in 2022.
