I cannot recall this much collective fantasy football enthusiasm over a quarterback returning from injury in fantasy football than Tua Tagovailoa this week. Typically, when a QB misses time, at least some pieces of the offense remain functional. With Miami , that wasn’t the case.
No skill position player thrived, with Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle failing to finish as a WR2 or better in Tua’s absence. Advertisement The Dolphins are currently averaging 11.7 PPG.
If the season ended today, Miami would finish with the fifth-fewest PPG of any team since 2000, and the worst average since the 2018 Arizona Cardinals (14.1). To compare Tua’s return to a historical event, this is the fantasy football equivalent of the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Frustration has been replaced by hope and joy. There is a collective sigh of relief from every single fantasy manager rostering De’Von Achane, Waddle and Hill. Hill put it best with some fantasy football advice of his own.

The NFL arms race continues. Last week, Buffalo ( Amari Cooper ) and the New York Jets ( Davante Adams ) both made their moves. This week, it was the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs.
The Chiefs are 6-.
