What It Means:

Tua's rookie season was characterized by checkdowns and a reported unwillingness to target receivers in close coverage. Reports this offseason have painted a completely different portrait, repeatedly noting Tagovailoa's willingness to press defenses down the field and his ability to routinely hit receivers in-stride. Tagovailoa could be in for a huge jump in performance in his second season, especially after the team bolstered his receiving corps in the offseason.

Tua currently projects to finish as the QB19 in fantasy football, but there has arguably been no team across the league that has done more to upgrade their pass-catching group than the Dolphins. Now another year removed from the brutal hip injury that prematurely ended his collegiate career, Tua could be in line for a massive sophomore season.
