The Miami Dolphins will face the Seattle Seahawks this Sunday in a Week 3 road matchup. Miami's defense has been decent through two weeks regarding yardage allowed -- letting up the fifth-fewest yards through the air (278) and the fourth-fewest total yards in the league (514). However, they're allowing the fifteenth-most yards per play (5.4) and have racked up just one takeaway through two weeks. There was some sleeper appeal here when the team was projected to lead in games. Those scenarios may be more challenging to come by, though, with quarterback Skylar Thompson under center and Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) on injured reserve. Fantasy managers can safely avoid the Dolphins' DST this week, as they're RotoBaller's DEF25.

Dynasty | The Dolphins have placed quarterback Tua Tagovailoa on injured reserve. Dynasty Analysis: This seemed like a near certainty after Miami signed Tyler Huntley yesterday. Tua will now miss at least the next four weeks, but it's also anyone's guess as to when we'll see him again. On the plus side (at least for dynasty purposes), he said this week he has no plans to retire, despite the latest of his scary looking concussions. Tagovailoa will remain a hold in dynasty leagues as we await his future.

The Miami Dolphins are placing quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday in order to give him ample time to progress through the stages of the league's concussion protocol and meet with outside neurologists, according to sources. The earliest Tagovailoa can return now is in Week 8 against the Arizona Cardinals, but the Dolphins are committed to placing no timeline on him as he works through a deliberate process and eventual return to play. Honestly, nobody knows when Tagovailoa will return to football, and there's even a chance that neurologists recommend he not play football again. The 26-year-old suffered his fourth documented concussion last Thursday, although he's apparently not considering retirement. In the meantime, backup Skylar Thompson will run the offense and start in Week 3 against the Seahawks. It's a major downgrade for all of Miami's offensive skill players.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) has not yet been ruled out of the Week 3 contest against the Seattle Seahawks. During an appearance on 93.3 KJR Seahawks radio, Jori Epstein of Yahoo Sports said, "There are some around the league who think he may play in Seattle this weekend." While it seems unrealistic for him to suit up just over a week after a scary concussion on Thursday Night Football, it sounds like it's not entirely out of the question. Needless to say, this is a situation worth monitoring, but it's still more likely that he sits out rather than plays. If he cannot suit up against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 3, Skylar Thompson is expected to get the start.

Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel offered an encouraging update on quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's (concussion) status on Monday. "He's downstairs today, smiling with his teammates," said McDaniel. "As far as I'm concerned, you're in the protocol and he's doing well today and we take it day by day." His coach also noted that he's been working diligently with the training staff. Tagovailoa has been the center of much controversy after suffering his third (official) concussion since the beginning of 2022, with many speculating he may hang it up due to the most recent injury. It's excellent news for the fifth-year QB, though -- who is on record saying he has no plans to retire from football. We'll unlikely see the Alabama product suit up in Week 3 when Miami squares up for a road tilt against the hosting Seattle Seahawks. However, this news at least opens the door for his potential return in Week 4 against the Titans.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) has been subject to a bunch of rumors following his injury during Thursday's game against the Buffalo Bills. The young signal-caller suffered what appears to be his fourth concussion over the last five years. As a result, Tagovailoa will meet with neurologists this week to discuss his current condition and his future in the league. However, Tagovailoa has already said he has no plans to retire. He's already seeing concussion specialists and will continue to do so going forward. There still remains no timetable for Tagovailoa's return, but there should be more updates in the coming weeks. Until then, Skylar Thompson figures to start under center for Week 3 and possibly longer.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) is reportedly scheduled to meet with neurologists early next week. This news comes after Tagovailoa was diagnosed with a concussion following an early exit from Thursday's game against the Buffalo Bills. The meeting with the neurologists should give Tagovailoa better input on his situation and whether or not it's safe for him to play football again. The young quarterback has already been diagnosed with four concussions over the last five years. Dolphins' head coach Mike McDaniel said he wants Tagovailoa to focus on his health, which basically means there's no timetable for his return. Skylar Thompson figures to be the starting quarterback unless the team makes a trade or signs a free agent. The Dolphins are likely going to wait until they get more information on Tagovailoa's status before they make any significant moves.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) will meet with neurologists early this week, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Tagovailoa suffered what is at least the fourth known concussion of his career on Thursday night against the Buffalo Bills. The former first-round pick is likely mulling whether to retire, much like he did during his last concussion. Assuming he's out for a few weeks at the very minimum, Skylar Thompson is slated to start at quarterback for Miami. He's struggled at times and cannot be trusted to support elite or near-elite fantasy production from Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. Thompson himself is merely a mid-range QB3 going forward.

Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said on Friday that he's not putting a timeline on quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's (concussion) recovery after he suffered another scary concussion in Thursday night's loss to the division-rival Buffalo Bills. McDaniel said he has "zero idea" what any timeline might be and doesn't want to put pressure on Tagovailoa. He was quickly ruled out after leaving the field with team trainers under his own power. Tagovailoa missed five games in 2022, including a playoff contest, due to two separate concussions. Given his concussion history, nobody is pushing for Tagovailoa to return to the field anytime soon. McDaniel declined to speculate if Tagovailoa, who signed a four-year, $212.4 million extension last month, might consider retirement. Unless Miami signs a QB off the street, Skylar Thompson is set to run this offense for the foreseeable future.

Dynasty | Dolphins quarterback Skylar Thompson will start next week's game against Seattle. Dynasty Analysis: This could just be the beginning of a lengthy stretch of time where the Dolphins will be without quarterback Tua Tagovailoa as he recovers from his latest concussion. Miami is clearly going to take things slowly with Tua and we know he'll be out at least next week. This is a truly scary situation with Tagovailoa's short and long-term future in serious question. As for Thompson, he should be viewed as a low-end QB2, despite having elite-level weapons. In short, Miami's offense could be a mess moving forward.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) was forced to leave the Thursday night game against the Buffalo Bills after colliding with safety Damar Hamlin and suffering a concussion. The fifth-year signal-caller has had a history of concussions and has seen some scary moments over the past few seasons. According to Grant Gordon of NFL.com, Tagovailoa will undergo further testing and evaluation on Monday to understand the extent of head injury and to determine how long he may be out. Head coach Mike McDaniel said that Tagovailoa will be day-to-day for now until they get the full picture. Skylar Thompson filled in on Thursday and ended up throwing 8-for-14 with 80 yards, and barring any kind of transaction, Thompson will likely be the starter if Tagovailoa needs to miss any time.

Dynasty | Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa left Thursday night's game against Buffalo with a concussion. Dynasty Analysis: Tagovailoa tried to scramble to pick up a first down and sustained a head injury as he went down on a hard hit. Again, it was another scary sight as Tua went into the "fencing" position and it was immediately apparent he had suffered another serious head injury, reminiscent to what happened two years ago. This is significant as Tua had made it an entire season after enduring some scary concussions in 2022 and many are speculating already that he may consider retirement again (he has admitted he considered it in 2022) after this happened tonight. It's way too early to guess on what may transpire but it's also very apparent Tagovailoa is going to have some serious soul searching to do when he recovers. In short, this is scary.

Miami Dolphins left tackle Terron Armstead (shoulder) exited Thursday's game against the Buffalo Bills. He briefly returned to action but then exited again and was ruled out. As of now, the severity of Armstead's injury is unclear. On one hand, it was promising that he was able to come back in the game briefly, and it's also possible Miami kept him off the field as a precaution. On the other hand, if the injury is serious and will cost Armstead some time, Miami's offense will take a significant step back as a whole. The 33-year-old is a reliable, veteran presence on the offensive line. In addition to Armstead, the Dolphins are bracing for injury news regarding Tua Tagovailoa (concussion), Raheem Mostert (chest), and Jeff Wilson Jr. (oblique).

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa left Thursday night's matchup against the Buffalo Bills. The veteran quarterback took a significant shot to the head/neck area, rushing for a first down on fourth down late in the third quarter. While he walked off the field under his own power, the Dolphins quickly ruled Tagovailoa out for the rest of the game with a concussion. The veteran has a well-known history of concussions, suffering several in his five-year NFL career. Skylar Thompson took over under center after Tagovailoa left the game. Hopefully, he can clear the concussion protocol in time for Miami's Week 3 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. If not, Thompson would get the start.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will square off against the Buffalo Bills this Thursday night to open up the NFL's second week of action. Tagovailoa tossed just one score this past Sunday when Miami defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars in what was a slow start for the Dolphins. However, his 338 passing yards were good enough to lead the league after the first week of action. Jacksonville's defense kept Tua and the Fins in check during the first half, but long completions of 63 and 80 yards to Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill in the second half were enough to flip the momentum in their favor. Leading into Week 2, running back Raheem Mostert (chest) has been ruled out, and De'Von Achane (ankle) will be a game-time decision. If Achane is deemed unfit to suit up, Jeff Wilson Jr. and Jaylen Wright will pick up the slack in the Dolphins' backfield, with Waddle and Hill projected for increased volume. Buffalo isn't the easiest matchup for Tua and Miami, but the fifth-year signal-caller is still a QB1 (QB11) in RotoBaller's Week 2 rankings.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa completed 23-of-37 passes for 336 yards and one touchdown in the team's 20-17 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. He added one scramble for a gain of 11 yards. It was tough sledding on the ground for Miami throughout this one, and their offense looked a bit sluggish in the early going. Most of Tagovailoa's passes were short in the beginning portion of the game, but that changed significantly around the mid-point of the third quarter. The Dolphins' signal caller hit a streaking Jaylen Waddle deep down-field, and the speedy wideout turned up the sideline for a huge 63-yard gain. Then, on Miami's next drive -- on the first play --, Tua hit Tyreek Hill on a deep crosser that he turned up the left sideline for an 80-yard score. Overall, it was a fine opening performance for the Dolphins' offense. The fifth-year veteran will have a quick turnaround in Week 2 when he squares up against Josh Allen and their division-rival Buffalo Bills.

Dolphins' QB Tua Tagovailoa passed for 336 yards on 23-of-37 with one touchdown in Sunday's win against the Jaguars.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will square up against the Jacksonville Jaguars in the team's home opener this Sunday and hopes to begin the year hot as he has the prior two seasons. Tagovailoa began 2022 with a 469-yard six-touchdown performance in Week 2 against the Baltimore Ravens and tossed 466 yards and three scores in Week 1 last season against the Los Angeles Chargers. Jacksonville's defense was a stout unit on the ground in 2023, allowing the ninth-fewest rushing yards in the league. However, they were much more porous through the air as opponents threw for the seventh-most yards (4,076) and touchdowns (27) against the unit. Look for Mike McDaniel to cook up some innovative play designs to scheme a few wide-open looks for the fifth-year QB. The Alabama product is a back-end QB1 (QB12) in RotoBaller's Week 1 rankings.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa completed all five of his passes for 51 yards and one touchdown in Saturday night's 13-6 victory against the Washington Commanders. It is unclear whether head coach Mike McDaniel intended to play his starters for a drive or a quarter on Saturday, but they were the same either way. Jayden Daniels and the Commanders' offense got the ball first, and the rookie navigated them down the field, though the drive would ultimately culminate in a missed field goal. Tagovailoa took the field and immediately made his mark on the game. Despite being without star wideouts Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill, Miami's fifth-year veteran dinked and dunked his way down the field efficiently. His reported weight loss over the offseason showed up in his game as he looked nimble while evading pressure. Tua's highlight came on a 4th-and-1 inside the Commanders' 15-yard line, -- the second fourth-down the Dolphins would convert -- where he threw a beautifully lofted pass to River Cracraft for a touchdown in the back of the end zone. It remains to be seen whether we will see Miami's starter next Friday when they take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Dolphins' final game of the preseason. However, it wouldn't be surprising if we didn't, considering how crisp he looked Saturday down his top weapons. As we head into the regular season, he's Yahoo!'s QB14 in ADP.

The Miami Dolphins plan to play their starters for the second preseason game on Saturday against the Washington Commanders, according to head coach Mike McDaniel, but which starters and how much they'll actually play remains a mystery. Players like quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and running backs Raheem Mostert and De'Von Achane will suit up but probably won't play more than a handful of offensive series as they prepare for the 2024 regular season. Miami's backfield and whole offense was incredible in 2023, and fantasy managers are expecting more of the same in 2024. Achane's blazing speed and big-play abilities make him the more attractive fantasy commodity as a low-end RB1/high-end RB2 going into his second NFL season, even if Mostert is technically still a starter. The Dolphins list Mostert and Achane as co-starters on the depth chart, with rookie Jaylen Wright the favorite for a role as the RB3.
