The Miami Dolphins will face the Houston Texans in Week 15. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding QB Tua Tagovailoa.
Is Tua Tagovailoa Playing in Week 15?
Tagovailoa is not listed on the injury report this week, so barring any setbacks, he is on track to play this weekend.

Should You Start or Sit Tua Tagovailoa in Week 15?
It’s all happening at the perfect time. Tagovailoa has been a top-10 QB in four straight games (top-five finishes in two of those weeks) and is rounding into the form that we drafted him for this summer.
Last week’s game plan was a concentrated one from the jump and that’s exactly what we want. In the first half against the Jets, Tagovailoa funneled 122 of his 165 passing yards (73.9%) to Tyreek Hill or Jaylen Waddle.
Chef’s kiss.
The Jonnu Smith production came in overtime and with three legitimate pass catchers to compliment the explosive backfield, this is an offense set to peak at the perfect time for us. The Texans allow the fourth-most YAC yards per short completion this season — look for Miami to pick at that scab with bubble screens and, eventually, double moves that open up downfield potential.
I have Tagovailoa ranked as my QB7 — I’m more worried about being too low than too high.
