Tua Tagovailoa

Tua Tagovailoa has been a middling QB2 for most of the season, with the upside for a low-end QB1 performance if everything breaks right. I don't think things will move in his favor for him to return to top 12 status this week. Among 47 qualifying passers, Tagovailoa ranks 25th in yards per attempt, 15th in highly accurate throw rate, and 21st in catchable target rate and hero throw rate. Since Week 9, the Jets have been an average to above-average pass defense, depending on the week. During that span, they have ranked 19th in yards per attempt while holding offenses to the 13th-lowest adjusted completion rate and the sixth-fewest passing touchdowns (tied). Tagovailoa likely logs another mid-to-low-end QB2 performance in Week 14.

Tua Tagovailoa completed 12 of his 23 passes for 157 yards and one interception while gaining four yards on four carries in a 21-17 win over the Saints in Week 13.

Fantasy Impact

Tagovailoa played game manager in the win as De'Von Achane did most of the damage for the offense on the ground. The veteran quarterback has thrown for 17 touchdowns and 14 interceptions this season. He will be tough to trust in fantasy in Week 14 against the Jets.
