Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa is not expected to return on his "current deal," in the opinion of ESPN's Marcel Louis-Jacques, who writes that trading Tagovailoa "will be tricky" based on his level of play and money remaining on his contract. Louis-Jacques adds that the Dolphins could "sweeten" any trade package for their quarterback by "including a draft pick."
Huddle Up: With a new GM and new head coach in place, Tagovailoa is indeed likely headed elsewhere for 2026. How much he would be of interest to fantasy owners is dubious, however, after his role was marginalized under former head coach Mike McDaniel prior to his benching. We'll see where he lands, but between his injury history and recent production, the lefty is likely to be a late-round curiosity, at best.

Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa indicated that he is open to playing for a different team next season.
Huddle Up: Tagovailoa was benched late in the season and is unlikely to be the starting quarterback for the Dolphins next season. There is a good chance that he starts for a team next season, but fantasy players can monitor the situation. He will be a No. 2 fantasy quarterback in fantasy leagues if he starts in 2026.

Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa has been declared inactive for the Week 17 game but will serve as the emergency No. 3 quarterback.
Huddle Up: Tagovailoa likely will not play again this season unless Quinn Ewers and Zach Wilson suffer injuries. Ewers struggled at times during his first career start last week and should not be a starting option in any fantasy leagues.

Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa has been declared inactive for the Week 16 game but will serve as the emergency No. 3 quarterback.
Huddle Up: Quinn Ewers will likely be the starter for the final three games of the season since the Dolphins have been eliminated from playoff contention. He is not a starting option at this point, but fantasy players can keep an eye on his play to see if he becomes more valuable.

Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa will serve as the team's emergency No. 3 quarterback in Week 16 with QB Zach Wilson being the primary backup during the game, according to head coach Mike McDaniel.

Miami Dolphins QB Quinn Ewers was named the starting quarterback for Week 16 as QB Tua Tagovailoa has been benched.
Huddle Up: Ewers will face the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16, which is a good matchup. That's still not enough to consider starting him outside of dire situations in two-QB or superflex leagues in his first start.

Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said, "Everything is on the table," when asked about considering a change at the quarterback position from Tua Tagovailoa.
Huddle Up: In the event that the Dolphins do move on from Tua Tagovailoa as their starter for the remainder of the season, they would choose between Zach Wilson and Quinn Ewers. In either event, the passing game for the Dolphins would lose some fantasy value while De'Von Achane would likely see his role expand further.

Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa completed 22 of 28 passes for 254 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception versus the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 15.
Huddle Up: With the Dolphins trailing by 25 points in the fourth quarter, the Steelers dropped into a soft shell, allowing Tagovailoa to lead Miami on scoring drives of 65 and 86 yards, respectively. A final drive went 36 yards before time ran out. That means 186 of the team's 285 yards (and 12 of their 15 points) came when the outcome had been decided. Expect the team to try to move back to their run-heavy approach this Sunday against Cincinnati, leaving Tagovailoa bereft of fantasy appeal.

Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa completed 13-of-21 passes for 127 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Week 14 against the New York Jets, while running once for no gain.
Huddle Up: The Dolphins routed the Jets on the road, but it was mostly due to the ground game, and not the passing game. Tua should continue to only be used as a low-end QB2 in fantasy leagues heading into Week 15 and beyond.

Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa completed 12-of-23 passes for 157 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Week 13 against the New Orleans Saints. He also added four carries for four yards.
Huddle Up: Tagovailoa has one without a touchdown pass in back-to-back games, and what's more stunning is that those two games came against the leaky pass defenses of the Washington Commanders and the Saints. He is back at it in Week 14 against the New York Jets, but he should be treated as a low-end QB2 in most fantasy leagues until further notice.
