Every Friday at 3 p.m. ET, Steve Buchanan and Meghan Townsley chop up the latest injury news on Injury Report Live! Check out what Steve and DK Network’s Garion Thorne – filling in for Meghan – have to say about this latest injury to Tua Tagovailoa (concussion).
After suffering yet another brutal head injury in Week 2, it was fair to wonder if Tua Tagovailoa ($6,100) had played his last snap in the NFL. However, the Dolphins quarterback is ready to return just over a month later, having cleared concussion protocol this week. Miami’s offense has looked lifeless without their franchise signal caller, so fantasy managers can expect a major boost across all skill positions entering Sunday.
Does Tua’s return mean the Fins’ wide receivers are back to elite status? Could the running game finally get going as well? Garion (@GarionThorne) and Steve (@SBuchanan24) broke down Tagovailoa’s return on Friday’s edition of Injury Report Live:
- The Dolphins offense doesn’t magically become elite just because Tua is back. In the brief time we saw a healthy Miami, the offense only scored 20 against the Jaguars before struggling against the Bills.
- Tyreek Hill ($7,000) should return to form on Sunday. In Weeks 1 and 2, the star wide receiver had close to a 28% target rate per route, the highest rate in the NFL.
- A matchup with the Cardinals is perfect for Tua, as nobody on Arizona’s defense has recorded more than three sacks.
