Atlanta Falcons QB Tua Tagovailoa (back) has been limited to individual drills because of back tightness and said he is not sure when he will be able to be a full participant in practice.
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.

Atlanta Falcons QB Tua Tagovailoa (back) returned to practice Thursday, July 30, doing individual work.
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.

Atlanta Falcons QB Tua Tagovailoa (back) will miss about a week with back tightness.
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.

Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. and QB Tua Tagovailoa will split first-team reps early in OTAs, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski.
Huddle Up: Neither quarterback has had a chance to prove themself yet, but whoever wins the job could have some fantasy value. This will be a quarterback battle to watch closely through training camp before making a judgment call on who is worth a late-round flier in drafts.

Atlanta Falcons QB Tua Tagovailoa has "a real chance" to earn the starting job over QB Michael Penix Jr., according to Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network.
Huddle Up: With Penix returning from a knee injury, Tagovailoa could be the starter to by default to begin the season. However, it sounds like Tagovailoa could claim the job permanently. Regardless of who is under center for the Falcons, they are likely to provide QB2 production for fantasy owners.

Atlanta Falcons QB Tua Tagovailoa, who recently signed a one-year deal with the Falcons, said he's willing to do whatever QB Michael Penix Jr. needs. "I look at myself when I was a rookie and I was very grateful for the chance that I had with someone like Ryan Fitzpatrick," Tagovailoa said. "I think whatever I can do to help Mike's game will help me because if I'm helping getting him better, it's helping me get better, vice versa, we're then helping the team get better."
Huddle Up: Penix is recovering from a torn ACL and may need a few weeks to get back during the season. Tugovailoa could start the first month, and the results would determine where the team goes from there. Either way, these two are QB2s in fantasy without a lot of upside this season.

Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa was officially released Thursday, March 12, with a post-June 1 designation.
Huddle Up: Tagovailoa is expected to join the Atlanta Falcons this offseason and will compete for their starting job. He will be a No. 2 fantasy quarterback if he wins the job. The Dolphins will likely have Malik Willis as their starter and can also be a No. 2 quarterback in leagues.

Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa plans to sign a one-year contract with the Atlanta Falcons once he is officially released by the Dolphins, according to sources.
Huddle Up: Tagovailoa will likely compete with Michael Penix Jr. for the starting job during training camp, so fantasy players will need to monitor the situation. Neither quarterback is more than a No. 2 fantasy quarterback at this point.

Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa will have the Atlanta Falcons making a 'strong early push' to sign Tagovailoa once released, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo on Monday, March 9.
Huddle Up: Tagovailoa had his worst fantasy season since his rookie 2020 campaign, finishing as the QB25 and throwing for a career-worst 15 interceptions. With the Dolphins stating that they're moving on from Tagovailoa after six seasons, he'll look to latch on somewhere else. Whether he'll be fantasy relevant is another story. We'll see if Tagovailoa gets to a team where he can start, but if he does, he'll be a low-end QB2 in two-QB formats and a waiver wire dart throw option in single-QB seasonal formats.

Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa will be released when the new league year opens with a post-June 1 designation. Miami will take on an NFL-record $99 million in dead money split over two years.
Huddle Up: He'll garner interest from QB-hungry teams like the New York Jets, and he'll have QB2 value in fantasy because he'll likely land a starting gig. However, the upside is really minimal considering the teams are likely to be a mess.
