Tua Tagovailoa, QB | MIA (at CLE)
Tua Tagovailoa is far from a perfect fantasy quarterback. He doesn’t run (two rushing yards thus far in December) and he doesn’t stretch the field through the air, instead relying fully on his playmakers to do the heavy lifting.
That’s not a profile I make a habit of investing in, especially with one of those pieces (Jaylen Waddle) battling a knee injury, but I think this has the potential to be the week — the week where you cash a nice DFS lineup courtesy of an explosive Dolphins game at low ownership.
Think about it.
Tagovailoa is unlikely to attract ownership for the reasons mentioned above. He’s also not in great form (411 passing yards with more interceptions than touchdowns over the past two weeks) and this game is being played in the northeast.
But wait.
… a warm front is coming up the coast for the week?
But wait.
… the Browns rank 31st in deep pass interception rate and 32nd in yards per short completion?
If either the Chargers or Broncos lose this week (both play before Miami is scheduled to kick off), the Dolphins will still have postseason life. It would be little more than a pulse, but that heart would still be beating if one of those things happens, thus giving us a high-motivation spot against a defense that is playing out the string (all four losses during their current skid have come by multiple scores).
Interesting.
Obviously, I’d prefer Waddle be healthy and to get a Denver loss on Saturday to ensure these things, but the more ambiguity that takes place, the more I like the odds of getting a condensed passing game with upside at a very low cost.
How Are PFN’s Fantasy Rankings Calculated?
These fantasy football rankings are a consensus of our Fantasy Analysts. Each ranks the player individually, and then using the average, we create a consensus, offering you multiple options to consider. No matter how you have started your season, there is plenty of time to change things, but the only way to do that is with smart decisions and exploiting opportunities.
