Fantasy Life Articles on Tua Tagovailoa

Tagovailoa's conservative approach (47th in 20+ yard %) favors checkdowns over downfield throws.

Tua Tagovailoa's preseason play hasn't instilled confidence; he is the opposite of Michael Penix in approach—see it, throw it, get the ball out quick, and when it's not there, check it down to the running back. Since 2022, Tagovailoa has targeted running backs over 22% of the time, and over the past two seasons his 14.5% checkdown rate is one of the highest in football. Just 7.8% of his pass attempts went 20 or more yards down the field, ranking 47th among quarterbacks with at least 200 attempts.
