Trust = spike production for that player
Quarterback
Tua Tagovailoa: Tagovailoa is expected to be back for Sunday night after missing the past two weeks due to a concussion.
Tagovailoa was the QB20 (14.8 points), QB2 (38.9 points), and QB24 (11.4 points) in his three full games this season but threw for over 8.0 yards per pass attempt in all three.
Tagovailoa is walking back into a strong matchup as the Steelers are allowing 7.5 yards per pass attempt (25th), a 4.8% touchdown rate (26th), and 16.6 passing points per game (25th). Pittsburgh has allowed four QB1 performances this season, which also includes Jacoby Brissett and Zach Wilson.
We might get a week without Jaylen Waddle available for Miami to take away a ceiling player, but Tagovailoa is immediately an option on the QB1 line coming back into the lineup.
