ANALYSIS: Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was a solid low-end QB1 for fantasy players in 2023. The former Alabama star started the year playing well, totaling 338 passing yards, a touchdown, and 18.6 fantasy points in Week 1 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Unfortunately, the star quarterback suffered a concussion in the Week 2 loss to the Buffalo Bills. The Dolphins placed him on injured reserve, forcing Tagovailoa to miss at least four games. He hasn’t played since the matchup against the Bills. However, Miami activated Tagovailoa off injured reserve earlier this week.
Furthermore, head coach Mike McDaniel said the star quarterback will practice on Wednesday. More importantly, Tagovailoa seems determined to play on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals after missing the past four games.

Fantasy players should make Tagovailoa their top priority off the waiver wire this week at the quarterback position.
