| Player | Att. | Comp. | Yards | TD | INT | Rush | Yards | TD | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tua Tagovailoa | 507.6 | 350.2 | 3908.5 | 25.89 | 11.17 | 35.8 | 93.1 | 0.36 | 249.03 |
| Zach Wilson | 72.5 | 44.2 | 471.3 | 1.81 | 1.74 | 15.6 | 70.2 | 0.39 | 31.97 |

Tua Tagovailoa: Appearing in more than 13 games only once during his five NFL seasons, the obvious concern with Tagovailoa (in real life and fantasy) is his troubling history of concussions. Over the past three seasons, however, Tagovailoa has led the NFL in at least one different passing category — completion percentage (72.9%) in 2024, passing yards (4.624) in 2023, and TD% (6.3) and Y/A (8.9) in 2022. There's a chance he performs as a back-end QB1 if — a big if — his health cooperates, but his lack of rushing (75/193/0 since 2022) limits the upside even if he plays a full season. For example, the same year (2023) he played 17 games and led the NFL in passing yards, he finished as the QB9 in overall points (QB17 on a PPG basis).
RUNNING BACKS
| Player | Att. | Yards | TD | Rec. | Yards | TD | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| De'Von Achane | 194.4 | 923.4 | 7.29 | 72.9 | 545.3 | 6 | 263.06 |
| Ollie Gordon II | 102.8 | 431.8 | 2.67 | 13.6 | 101.9 | 0.5 | 79.19 |
| Jaylen Wright | 71.5 | 300.3 | 1.72 | 6.9 | 47.8 | 0.3 | 50.38 |
| Alec Ingold | 8.9 | 17.8 | 0.53 | 8.7 | 72.2 | 0.5 | 19.53 |
| RB Totals | 377.6 | 1673.3 | 12.21 | 102.1 | 767.2 | 7.3 | 412.16 |
De'Von Achane: Achane's year-over-year carries nearly doubled (103 to 203), but the yardage total increased by only 107 yards from 2023. The rushing efficiency dropped even more than most had expected (from his unsustainable rookie levels), but his receiving role was elite as he paced the position with 78 receptions for 592 yards and six touchdowns. Achane has been dealing with a calf injury, but he is expected to play in Week 1 against the Indianapolis Colts.
Jaylen Wright: Wright's disappointing preseason got even worse as he had a "small procedure" and his status for Week 1 is very uncertain. Meanwhile, rookie Ollie Gordon II has the opportunity to seize control of RB2 duties in this offense.
WIDE RECEIVERS
| Player | Rec. | Yards | TD | Rush | Yards | TD | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tyreek Hill | 85.3 | 1104.9 | 6.9 | 7.8 | 42.9 | 0.47 | 201.65 |
| Jaylen Waddle | 82.6 | 1103.5 | 5.2 | 4.5 | 20.3 | 0.33 | 186.86 |
| Nick Westbrook-Ikhine | 25.4 | 347.6 | 2.7 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 63.66 |
| Malik Washington | 29.4 | 307.4 | 1.5 | 5.6 | 28 | 0.39 | 59.58 |
| Tahj Washington | 1.7 | 20.9 | 0.1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 3.54 |
| Dee Eskridge | 1.5 | 14.3 | 0.1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2.78 |
| WR Totals | 225.9 | 2898.6 | 16.5 | 17.9 | 91.2 | 1.19 | 518.07 |
Tyreek Hill: Hill had a disappointing season as he set multi-year lows in receptions (81), receiving yards (959), touchdowns (six) and targets (123). Before 2024, Hill had 111-plus catches in three consecutive seasons, 1,239-plus yards in four consecutive seasons. Despite some end-of-season frustration ("I'm out, bro"), the biggest concern with Hill will be Tua Tagovailoa's availability given vastly different splits with/without him. The range of outcomes is wide, but the now 31-year-old receiver is a high-risk, high-reward WR2 in fantasy drafts.
Jaylen Waddle: Waddle set career lows across the board — 58/744/2 on 83 targets — in 2024.
- Per-game averages 2021-2023: 5.3/72.0/0.38 (12.3 fantasy points)
- Per-game average in 2024: 3.9/49.6/0.13 (7.5 FPPG)
Although he's coming off a career-worst season, there is upside with Waddle given his low-end WR3 ADP.
TIGHT ENDS
| Player | Rec. | Yards | TD | Rush | Yards | TD | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Darren Waller | 51.1 | 560.8 | 2.9 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 99.03 |
| Julian Hill | 9.9 | 98.9 | 0.7 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 19.04 |
| Tanner Conner | 5.5 | 54.4 | 0.4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 10.59 |
| TE Totals | 66.5 | 714.1 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 128.66 |
Darren Waller: In his prime, Waller had back-to-back 1,100-yard seasons (2019-20), but he's had three injury-shortened seasons and a year of retirement since then. So, what should we expect from Waller as he comes out of retirement? Similar numbers to Jonnu Smith's 2024 season (88/884/8) seems unlikely, but he could benefit from shorter/quicker pass attempts to help protect Tua Tagovailoa. Per NextGen Stats, Tagovailoa ranked dead last in both average completed air yards (3.8) and average intended air yards (5.6).
