5 Tua Tagovailoa Alabama - QB 2 6-0 217

The Dolphins drafted rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa with the No. 5 overall pick in the NFL Draft, and he's expected to take over as Miami's starter at some point this year. The Dolphins could elect to be cautious with Tagovailoa coming back from the hip injury he suffered last year at Alabama, and Ryan Fitzpatrick could open the season as the starter in Miami. But if he's healthy, Tagovailoa should be the starter for the Dolphins, giving him value in 2QB and Superflex leagues. We don't expect Tagovailoa to be drafted in most one-quarterback formats, but in leagues where you can play multiple quarterbacks, he's worth a mid- to late-round pick, depending on what he does in training camp and the preseason. And in rookie-only drafts for Dynasty leagues, Tagovailoa is worth a late-first or early-second pick, depending on how many quarterbacks you start. He could eventually develop into a starting Fantasy quarterback, most likely as early as 2021.
