Tua Tagovailoa is expected to return in Week 8 from the concussion he suffered in Week 2 against Buffalo and will hopefully remain healthy for the remainder of the season. If he plays as expected, I would play him at home against the Cardinals.

Tagovailoa scored 20.6 fantasy points in his only full game this year against Jacksonville in Week 1, and we know he is capable of being a top-10 fantasy quarterback when healthy. They know Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle will be happy to have Tagovailoa back, and now Mike McDaniel can use his entire playbook.

The Cardinals are allowing opposing quarterbacks an average of 21.4 fantasy points per game, and Josh Allen, Jayden Daniels and Jordan Love all scored at least 26 fantasy points against Arizona this season. I don’t expect Tagovailoa to do that well, but 20+ fantasy points is likely.

Ideally, there will be a shootout between the Dolphins and Cardinals, and Kyler Murray should also be considered the low-end starting fantasy quarterback. Miami is actually No. 1 with the fewest fantasy points allowed to quarterbacks this season, but Murray scored in Week 5 against San Francisco (26.1 points) and in Week 7 against the Chargers (22.2 points). performed well.

He ran for at least 64 yards and a touchdown against the 49ers and Chargers, and hopefully his rushing performance against the Dolphins can top him. I would like to see Tagovailoa and Murray both finish as top-10 quarterbacks in Week 8.
