The Miami Dolphins (1-5) will visit the Cleveland Browns (1-5) in Week 7. 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 7?
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 Tua Tagovailoa in Week 7?
He’s not getting much help, but where would Tua Tagovailoa’s stat lines be if Darren Waller was still rapping to earn paychecks?
His three interceptions on Sunday nearly equaled his season total prior (four), but Jaylen Waddle did hand one to the Chargers. It doesn’t really matter how it happens, but this was the fourth time this season that Tagovailoa failed to reach 210 passing yards, and with zero rushing equity, he’s not near fantasy radars.
The game scripts should help artificially inflate his value over time, but we are well past assuming that at this point. I’m in no hurry to start anyone besides the running backs on either side from this game.
