Headliner Take

Tua Tagovailoa enters the 2025 fantasy season as a highly efficient QB2. He’s the most accurate passer in the NFL (72.9% completion in 2024), boasting a solid 7.2 yards-per-attempt and a 101.4 passer rating—but with a limited ceiling due to the risk of injury he possesses.

His elite receiving duo (Hill, Waddle) and emerging run game provide stability, but recurring concussion concerns remain the key risk to his availability. Count on reliable mid-range fantasy output, ideal for a late-round QB2 pick, but draft a backup as a safety net.
