News: 2 days agoThompson is in line to serve as the Dolphins' starting quarterback for Sunday's game in Seattle, Jonathan Jones of CBSSports.com reports.

Spin: According to Jones, the Dolphins are proceeding "day by day" in deciding whether Tua Tagovailoa will require a stint on injured reserve after he was diagnosed with his fourth documented concussion in the past five years. At the very least, the Dolphins aren't planning on Tagovailoa being available for the Week 3 game, so Thompson will step in for his first start since 2022. Thompson has made eight regular-season appearances overall through his first three years in the NFL, completing 68 of 119 pass attempts (57.1 percent) for 614 yards (5.2 YPA), one touchdown and three interceptions while adding 25 yards on 15 carries. Given the poor efficiency he's displayed as a passer thus far in addition to the likelihood that the Dolphins deploy a run-heavy game plan in Week 3, Thompson looks to be a low-end lineup option in fantasy leagues that start two quarterbacks or have a superflex spot.
