The expectation was always that Tua could miss more than the standard 1-2 weeks associated with concussions, and the Dolphins have officially sealed his fate for the next four games by placing him on IR. In that time, the team is allowing him to consult a specialist as he recovers from his third concussion of his career, and given his history with injuries of this nature, there’s a chance he could miss more time beyond the allotted four weeks required by his stint on IR. In the meantime, it’ll be Skylar Thompson under center for the Dolphins – a less than ideal scenario for the likes of Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle and co. With just two touchdowns in his career (one in the regular season, one in the postseason), the ceiling has effectively been shaved down significantly with Hill and Waddle becoming boom/bust options as long as Tua is out. RB De’Von Achane stands a better chance of maintaining a high level of fantasy production (it’s much easier to hand a playmaker the ball int he backfield than it is to complete a pass to one), as Thompson is almost certainly lined up to be coddled by Mike McDaniel’s playcalling to limit turnovers and play efficient football. Fantasy managers should hold onto Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle in hopes that Tua returns sooner rather than later, but expectations should be lowered out of the weekly WR1 realm and into the mid-WR2 conversation with Thompson drawing the starts.
