Tua Tagovailoa‘s career has been one of much hype and promise but it was not until this season that the young signal caller showed signs of delivering on the hype and fulfilling the promise. Flanked by skill players including Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, Tua led the league in passing yardage through the first few weeks of the season. Comeback Player of the Year? MVP? His detractors downplayed the success, but the numbers did not lie. Tua had taken a big step forward.
That is, until injuries struck again.
Following a stint in concussion protocol that kept him on the sidelines for the last two weeks, Tua is back under center for the Fins (-350) as they take to the field Sunday night on NBC against the Pittsburgh Steelers (+275).

Keep those numbers in mind but let’s take a deeper dive into the market and find some attractive player props. NBC Sports Fantasy and Betting analyst Matthew Berry offers us the following parlay with BetMGM joining the fun adding a boost:
Tua Tagovailoa 1+ Passing TD
In the four games he has played, Tu has eight touchdown passes. However, that number is a bit misleading as he threw six in the team’s Week 2 win at Baltimore. That said, with his two primary targets both in the Top Ten in YAC (yards after catch), Miami is live to score at any time no matter where they are on the field.
Jaylen Waddle OVER 50 Receiving Yards
The Alabama wideout has 30 receptions for 533 yards on the season. No question he has a deep connection with his quarterback. Combine that with his ability after the catch (10th in the NFL with 226 yards) and expecting Waddle to soar past 50 yards receiving is not unreasonable. Add in the fact that the Steelers’ secondary will have to spend multiple resources covering Tyreek Hill and again, the path to cash this ticket is right there.
Raheem Mostert OVER 50 Rushing Yards
Mostert has carried the rock 71 times for 309 yards to date this season. If he is to simply achieve his average of 4.35 yards per carry, Raheem Mostert must get 12 carries. The last three weeks he has recorded 14, 18, and 15 carries and has eclipsed 50 yards in two of those three games (he rushed for 49 yards in the third of those three). If the Dolphins are playing from in front, Mostert should soar past 50 yards rushing.
If you want to ride with Matthew Berry, know that BetMGM is sweating it with you. Play them individually or parlay the three and beginning Sunday at 12P Eastern, BetMGM will be boosting the parlay from +130 to +160.
