Should You Start or Sit Tua Tagovailoa in Week 13?
Tua Tagovailoa is the third quarterback this season to throw for 285 yards and three touchdowns in consecutive games this season (others: Baker Mayfield and Joe Burrow), posting top-10 numbers in both of those weeks.
The Raiders and Patriots aren’t exactly lockdown defenses, but Tagovailoa doesn’t have to apologize, and you could certainly argue that he’s yet to truly optimize the weapons at his disposal. The Packers boast a viable defense (eighth-fewest points allowed per drive this season), though they are vulnerable in an area of strength for this Dolphins attack.
Through 12 weeks, Green Bay ranks 24th in YAC allowed to opposing receivers. If there is a spot for the Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle tandem to rediscover their collective form from years past, this appears to be as good a spot as any.
The only thing working against this offense is Mother Nature. We could get a wintery mix in Lambeau with freezing temperatures. How impactful has the cold weather proven in the past?
Tua Tagovailoa in games under 40 degrees:
- 6.3 yards per attempt
- 2.4% touchdown rate
Tagovailoa in games over 40 degrees:
- 7.8 yards per attempt
- 5.3% touchdown rate
I’m weighing the favorable matchup data over projected weather as we sit here today. That could change as we near kickoff and the forecast becomes more accurate, but barring significant winds, I’m unlikely to knock Tagovailoa outside of my top 10 at the position.
