Huddle Up: With Michael Penix Jr. still working his way back from an injury, Tagovailoa seems set to open the year as Atlanta's starter. The Falcons have decent weapons on the offensive side, but Tagovailoa shouldn't be expected to be more than a midrange QB2.

Huddle Up: Tagovailoa dealt with a back issue earlier in training camp but seems to have recovered and is the leading candidate for the starting job at this point. He should probably be considered a No. 2 quarterback in fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: All signs continue to point toward Tagovailoa being the Week 1 starter ahead of Michael Penix Jr, who is slowly working his way back from a torn ACL. No matter how comfortable he looks in practice, however, Tagovailoa isn't someone for fantasy owners to target in standard formats. He struggled late during his tenure in Miami, and even if he is QB1 to open the season, Penix is looming if/when Tagovailoa slips up.

Huddle Up: With Michael Penix Jr. (knee) still recovering, this shouldn't be considered much of a surprise. Still, it would mean that Tagovailoa will get first crack at locking down the role. The lefty rarely moved the needle during his time in Miami, however, so he's not someone to target outside of the deepest of leagues.

Huddle Up: Tagovailoa being limited does not help him be in contention to win the starting job. He remains the potential leader in the proverbial clubhouse, but he remains low down the list of potential fantasy quarterbacks that should be in lineups in 2026.

Huddle Up: Tagovailoa has been sidelined because of a back issue but will likely see more work in upcoming practices. He is competing for the starting job and may have an edge since Michael Penix Jr. is still limited because of injury. Tagovailoa had some success in the past but will likely be a No. 2 fantasy quarterback if he starts.

Huddle Up: He fell out of favor with a Miami Dolphins team that tore it down after throwing for 2,660 yards, 20 TDs and 15 INTs. Tua is still just 28 and could be a matchup play in the first quarter or half of the season as Michael Penix Jr. recovers from a torn ACL.

Huddle Up: Tagovailoa is competing for the starting quarterback job, so the team may be cautious before having back fully at practice. He has a good chance to win the job with Michael Penix Jr. also injured but would only be a No. 2 fantasy quarterback if he starts.

Huddle Up: Tagovailoa has the inside track to the starting gig with Michael Penix Jr. still recovering from knee surgery. He'll be a matchup play or QB2 in fantasy.

Huddle Up: With Michael Penix Jr. still recovering from his knee injury, the team signed Cooper Rush for depth. Tagovailoa has a real shot to start the season under center, but he's little more than a matchup play or depth in two-QB leagues.
