The Facts: The Dolphins are coming off a season full of ups and downs. Miami may have made it all the way to Super Wild Card Weekend before losing to the Buffalo Bills, but it wasn't an easy journey. The team got bit by the injury bug, notably at the quarterback position. With the offseason now in full swing, head coach Mike McDaniel is looking to the future, especially with Tagovailoa. "He's doing great," McDaniel said of Tagovailoa. "He's had a really good offseason with his family and training and positioning himself to feel good moving forward. He's very healthy, vibrant, and I can see a hunger in him that I'm excited to watch play out."
Diehards Line:
Tagovailoa, who started a total of 13 games during the 2022 season, threw for 3,548 yards with 25 touchdowns and only eight interceptions. But the 25-year-old suffered two concussions that required him to be placed in the protocol for five games, including the Dolphins' postseason matchup. Considering the severity of those injuries, there was speculation on what the future would hold for him. However, Miami has placed all of its confidence in Tagovailoa, and McDaniel reinforced that. "He's a younger player and he's very honest and candid. But it also gives me a barometer," the Dolphins coach said. "He was doing a lot, he's got a lot of room to grow, let's just say that. He did an unbelievable job being able to lead an offense in year one. That's a new language. This is his first year where he's going to have continued offense, play caller and position coach. ..." The presence of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle add to the positive vibes for fantasy managers.
