When the Dolphins moved on from Tua Tagovailoa during the offseason, it briefly appeared second-year quarterback Quinn Ewers might have a chance to start in 2026.
Quinn Ewers: We all want to play, but we all want what's best for the Dolphins
Quinn Ewers discusses his desire to play for the Miami Dolphins while prioritizing what's best for the team.
Scoring Zone's Take
For draft prep purposes, Tua remains draftable at his current valuation as Miami's entrenched starter — this cluster doesn't move the needle on his ADP or ceiling projections. He should still be evaluated based on his usual profile: touchdown upside in a pass-heavy offense, tempered by the recurring injury-availability risk that's shadowed his recent seasons. Don't downgrade him off this story, and don't overreact to any "quarterback competition" framing, because none of that is substantiated here.
As for Ewers, he's not on an NFL roster and isn't a fantasy-relevant asset in any format right now. If he's drafted by Miami or any team later this cycle, that would be worth revisiting once his role and depth-chart standing are clearer, but speculative interest in a franchise is not a signal to add him in dynasty rookie prep or add him to watchlists yet.
Bottom line: no roster moves warranted. File this under monitor-only, keep Tua's valuation stable, and wait for concrete depth-chart or draft-selection news on Ewers before adjusting any rankings. Confidence is high that this cluster itself carries no actionable weight, precisely because both sources confirm the status quo holds in Miami.
