Tua Tagovailoa

It was a perfect storm for Tua last year that caused people to question his abilities. Tua was still coming off of a brutal injury, it was a shortened off-season, his receiving corps was underwhelming and dealing with injury, and Justin Herbert outperforming him certainly didn't help. Heading into year two, Tua now has a revamped receiving corps to throw to that fits his skillset perfectly and he's had the full off-season to prepare as the starter. We're not at the point where we can rely on Tua as a weekly starter, but let's not forget what Tua can do when he's healthy and has a solid arsenal of receiving weapons. He's certainly on the streaming radar as we head into 2021.

Tua Tagovailoa focusing on being aggressive downfield

Dolphins Head coach Brian Flores says that he wants Tua Tagovailoa to focus on being more aggressive downfield and to take more chances than normal.

Fantasy Impact

The 2020 season was a rollercoaster year for the former Alabama QB. He was constantly taken in and out of the lineup for Ryan Fitzpatrick and couldn't find a rhythm for most of the season. Tagovailoa did flash though and there is room for optimism. The Dolphins did a great job at surrounding Tua with weapons and a good run game. Now, he has to focus on being more aggressive downfield and taking more chances. He has receivers who can make plays downfield, so he needs to capitalize on that. While he isn't an elite quarterback just yet, he is ultimately set up to improve in his sophomore season. With some rushing upside, he can be a good late-round target for those waiting on QB.
