Tua Tagovailoa is expected to return in Week 8 from the concussion he suffered in Week 2 against Buffalo, and hopefully he stays healthy for the rest of the season. If he plays as expected then I would start him against the Cardinals at home.
Tagovailoa scored 20.6 Fantasy points in his lone full game this year against Jacksonville in Week 1, and we know he’s capable of being a top-10 Fantasy quarterback when healthy. You know Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle will be excited to get Tagovailoa back, and now Mike McDaniel can use his entire playbook.
The Cardinals allow an average of 21.4 Fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks, and Josh Allen, Jayden Daniels and Jordan Love all scored at least 26 Fantasy points against Arizona this season. I don’t expect Tagovailoa to do that well, but over 20 Fantasy points is likely.
Ideally, we get a shootout between the Dolphins and Cardinals, and Kyler Murray should also be considered a low-end starting Fantasy quarterback. Miami is actually No. 1 in the fewest fantasy points allowed to oppose quarterbacks for the season, but Murray has done well recently against San Francisco in Week 5 (26.1 points) and the Chargers in Week 7 (22.2 points).
He ran for at least 64 yards and a touchdown against the 49ers and Chargers, and hopefully his rushing production can put him over the top against the Dolphins. I’d love to see Tagovailoa and Murray both finish as top-10 quarterbacks in Week 8.
