2023 Fantasy Outlook
Multiple concussions marred what was otherwise a fantastic season for Tagovailoa last year. The Dolphins gave him an offensive-minded coach in Mike McDaniel and the league’s best deep threat in Tyreek Hill, and Tua took advantage. After ranking 29th in average target depth (7.0) in 2021, Tagovailoa was second in the league last year at 10.0 yards. That propelled him to an NFL-high 8.9 YPA, and with a 25/8 TD/INT ratio (5th) he led the league in passer rating at 105.5. Even with a commensurate drop in accuracy that comes with longer throws, Tagovailoa finished 10th in the league on-target percentage (74.0). The only thing that slowed him was injury, as he missed two early season games and then the final two games (plus the Dolphins’ wild-card loss) with concussions. He’s healthy entering this season, though, and has perhaps the league’s best WR duo in Hill and Jaylen Waddle, who combined for 3,066 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns last year. Tight end Mike Gesicki left in free agency, but the Dolphins didn't get much out of him anyway. Last season’s concussions don’t necessarily make Tua more prone to a head injury this year, but the Dolphins, who were criticized for their handling of his first concussion, figure to be more cautious if Tua is injured this season. The history of missed games adds some risk, and Tua doesn’t get much rushing production, but those are about the only drawbacks with the strong-armed and accurate Tagovailoa as a fantasy quarterback.

Elite efficiency in Week 13 win
Tagovailoa completed 18 of 24 passes for 280 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Dolphins' 45-15 win over the Commanders on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Tagovailoa and the rest of Miami's front-line players got a chance to take an early seat in the fourth quarter thanks to the expansive lead the fourth-year signal-caller played an integral part in forging. Playing against a Commanders secondary that had been victimized regularly by opposing air attacks, Tagovailoa executed an early aggressive game plan from head coach Mike McDaniel to near perfection, averaging 11.7 yards per attempt while connecting with Tyreek Hill for touchdown passes of 78 and 60 yards in the first and second quarters, respectively. Tagovailoa finished with an elite QB rating of 141.0 for the day, and he's now completed at least 70.0 percent of his passes in three straight games. Tagovailoa and his aerial weapons could be set up for another productive contest in a Week 14 home matchup against the vulnerable Titans secondary on Monday night, Dec. 11.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
2020
Tagovailoa made some gains last season, but he was still mediocre. The biggest trouble came
from the lack of a downfield passing game. His on-target (78.6 percent, 3rd) and completion
rates (67.8 percent, 7th) benefited from short, easy throws, as a mere 7.7 percent (30th) of his
passes were downfield attempts — his average target depth was 7.0 yards (29th). When he did
go downfield, though, he was successful. On attempts of 20-plus yards, his 63.3 percent on-
target rate ranked second, which led to league highs in completion percentage (50.0) and YPA
(18.2). Tagovailoa has the arm and accuracy to stretch the field — he just needed playmakers,
blockers and maybe more confidence. Will Fuller and DeVante Parker played only 12 games
combined last year, leaving Miami thin behind rookie Jaylen Waddle and TE Mike Gesicki. The
Dolphins addressed that this spring by trading for Tyreek Hill, perhaps the league’s top deep
threat, after adding Cedrick Wilson as a solid No. 3 receiver earlier in the offseason. The
offensive line should also be improved, thanks to the additions of LT Terron Armstead and LG
Connor Williams, and a new coaching staff led by Mike McDaniel could benefit Tagovailoa. The
Dolphins did their part, now it’s time for Tua to do his.
