Where should you draft Tagovailoa?
Fantasy owners will rightfully doubt Tagovailoa due to his injury history, which includes multiple concussions. If he can stay healthy, he could be considered higher in a draft due to his dual-threat receiving options in WRs Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, who are both massive parts to why Tagovailoa led the league in passing yards last season.
As we saw a year ago, Tagovailoa will be limited in his rushing ability, which will take away points that other QBs in the draft will add. While McDaniel is skilled at creating offensive schemes resulting in points, Tagovailoa’s ability to be on the field and involved should be questioned.
Draft Tagovailoa anywhere from the 8th round and beyond in 10-team leagues. When Healthy, he’s capable of averaging 22 or more points per Game thanks to Hill and Waddle. But compared with others, he has a bigger downside. Despite his injury History, he played all 17 Games last season which does count for something.
