BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 36% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: If that game against Buffalo was the last one we will get to watch from Tua Tagovailoa donning Miami's threads, I don't know yet. The trade deadline is set to be crossed this Tuesday, and as we get there maybe the Fins opt to move on from Tua and land Deshaun Watson, or another quarterback, or who knows what. In any case, though, Tua is and will remain a QB2-floor player at the position worth rostering in every 2QB fantasy league and even in shallower formats--remember, also, that Miami has already gone through its Bye week.
Tua is coming off his worst game of the season after scoring "only" 15.2 FP against Buffalo this weekend. I say "only" because that tally was enough for Tua to close Sunday as the QB15 of the week, which is definitely not the worst result you can get from any type of fantasy player. Tua missed on throwing a touchdown for the first time this season and had an overall-bad passing game (21-of-39 for 205 yards while picked once) but as every good rushing quarterback out there he made up for his woes with a TD on the ground (4 carries, 10 total yards).
This is nothing new, but Tua finds his mojo on the ground. He's rushed the ball no more than four times in any game this year, but he's always found a way to finish with 22+ yards or a touchdown in all four games he started and completed. Tua hasn't been horrid at the passing game, either, as other than in this latest game he had passed for 291 and 329 yards since returning from injury while completing 33 and 32 passes respectively, and throwing 2 and 4 touchdowns in W6 and W7 matches. Again, in his four complete games, Tue never dropped from the QB20 position and he already had back-to-back QB1 (top-9) games before this weekend. Whether it happens in Miami or elsewhere, Tua deserves to be rostered and started in way more than 36% of Yahoo leagues.
