Tua TagovailoaQB

Tagovailoa is the Falcons' quarterback fix after Michael Penix Jr. is still working back from a torn ACL and Kirk Cousins was released in March. Penix hasn't been cleared for 11-on-11 work yet, so the real competition won't start until he's healthy. Tagovailoa sits at QB28 ADP, suggesting he's the presumed Week 1 starter. Zach Charbonnet. That notes that neither Tagovailoa nor Penix will be in the mix for a starting role on fantasy teams, but the quarterback choice matters for Drake London and Kyle Pitts Sr. Tagovailoa's arrival removes the risk of a quarterback change denting their ceiling, and since both Tagovailoa and Penix are lefties, receivers won't need to adjust if a change comes later.
