Tua Tagovailoa vs Will LevisWho should you start in 2026 fantasy football?

Will Levis is the better fantasy start for 2026, averaging 13.2 PPG to Tua Tagovailoa's 11.5 in 2025. Full head to head breakdown below.

The Bottom Line

Will Levis is the better fantasy play this season.

Will Levis has the edge, but it is not a runaway. The 1.7-PPG advantage is real (13.2 to 11.5), and Will Levis's 20 touchdowns show scoring upside. Tua Tagovailoa is the buy-low candidate if recent production has dipped, because the talent gap is smaller than the numbers suggest.

Low confidence: the production gap is narrow enough that weekly context matters more than the season line.

Tua Tagovailoa vs Will Levis: The Full Breakdown

Two quarterbacks who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. Tua Tagovailoa (Miami Dolphins) finished the 2025 season averaging 11.5 fantasy points per game in 14 games. Will Levis (Tennessee Titans) came in at 13.2 PPG over 14 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.

Will Levis carries a 1.7-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.

Both lean on arm talent and offensive scheme as traditional pocket passers. Tua Tagovailoa threw for 2660 yards and 20 touchdowns, while Will Levis posted 2780 yards and 17 scores. Volume, red zone efficiency, and game script are the key week-to-week differentiators when neither carries rushing upside.

Tua Tagovailoa has his bye in Week 6, and Will Levis rests in Week 5. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at quarterback for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
