Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has been under a microscope after scary injuries in Weeks 3 and 4, and his Week 5 availability is in question.
Tagovailoa has suffered back, neck, and head injuries, which can obviously be devastating ailments in football. That said, fantasy football managers are wondering whether he’ll make a return to the field soon.
Is Tagovailoa going to suit up for Week 5, or will Teddy Bridgewater get the start for the Dolphins?

Tua Tagovailoa Injury Update for Week 5 for Fantasy Football
Tagovailoa has already been ruled out for the Dolphins Week 5 game against the New York Jets. He remains in concussion protocol and was ruled out as early as Monday after his head slammed on the tuft on Thursday Night Football against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 4.

Should I Start Teddy Bridgewater in Week 5?
The New York Jets are allowing the 11th-most fantasy points to quarterback through four weeks, so Bridgewater is the top streaming candidate in Week 5. With Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle capable of taking any reception for a touchdown, Bridgwater’s ceiling is arguably as high as its ever been.
Bridgewater connected on 14 of his 23 passing attempts for 193 yards and one touchdown to one interception when he stepped into for Tagovailoa last week and looked unafraid to take deep shots to Hill. Against a weak defense, a 250-plus yards, two-touchdown day isn’t out of reach. He also has just a bit of rushing upside, so that’s always a plus for fantasy quarterbacks.

Trust your stud QBs over Bridgewater, but play him over boom-or-bust fringe QB2s.
