The Miami Dolphins will host the New Orleans Saints in Week 13. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding QB Tua Tagovailoa.
Is Tua Tagovailoa Playing in Week 13?
Tagovailoa is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Dolphins’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Tagovailoa in Week 13?
The Dolphins are home favorites against a team that has no motivation to win, and that means you could talk yourself into Tagovailoa as a DFS punt play to get access to the elite running backs or elsewhere. He’s thrown multiple TD passes in three of four Miami wins this season and could well repeat that success with two elite playmakers at his disposal.
But the ceiling doesn’t offset the floor.
Tagovailoa only has two top 15 finishes this season, and without any teams on a bye, he checks in as an underdog to get there this week, even in a good spot. Jared Goff isn’t in a great place (vs. GB), nor is Brock Purdy (at CLE) or Daniel Jones (vs. HOU) … I’d rather bet on their ceiling outcomes than what Tagovailoa offers this week.
