Fitzpatrick completed 29 of 45 passes for 315 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions in the Dolphins' 31-23 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday. He also rushed six times for 47 yards and a score and threw a two-point conversion pass.

EDGE Analysis

Fitzpatrick's final line looked good from a fantasy perspective, save for his two interceptions. However, the veteran quarterback's two picks came in the second half, with the second particularly critical because it occurred with 4:27 remaining and Miami trying to overcome a 24-15 deficit. Fitzpatrick also dealt with a temporary absence of lead receiver DeVante Parker (ankle) in the first half, and he continued to demonstrate widespread rapport with his skill-position players by hitting 10 different pass catchers on the afternoon. The Dolphins are 1-3 through the first four games, but Fitzpatrick now has a pair of 300-yard efforts and still appears to be in firm control of the starting job. The veteran will look to eliminate the miscues in a tough Week 5 road matchup against the 49ers.

Fitzpatrick completed 18 of 20 passes for 160 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Dolphins' 31-13 win over the Jaguars on Thursday. He also rushed seven times for 38 yards and another score and logged one reception for no gain.

EDGE Analysis

In the Week 2 loss to the Bills, Fitzpatrick went a long way toward resembling the quarterback who knows coordinator Chan Gailey's offense intimately from having run it with ample success in both Buffalo and New York. Thursday, game script didn't call for Fitzpatrick to be anywhere near as active through the air, but the efficiency he demonstrated was that of a quarterback completely comfortable within a system. The veteran connected on his first 12 passes, a career best, and finished with a 133.3 rating for the night, misfiring only twice while averaging 8.0 yards per attempt and notching completions to seven different pass catchers. With the air attack now seemingly considerably ahead of where it was just two weeks ago in the opener against the Patriots, Fitzpatrick and his teammates will utilize some much-needed extra time to gear up for a formidable Week 4 interconference challenge in the form of the visiting Seahawks on Sunday, Oct. 4.

Fitzpatrick completed 31 of 47 passes for 328 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Dolphins' 31-28 loss to the Bills on Sunday. He also rushed three times for 12 yards and threw a two-point conversion pass.

EDGE Analysis

It wasn't pretty at times, but Fitzpatrick overcome a relatively slow start to keep the Dolphins in the contest until an unsuccessful onside kick with 49 seconds remaining. The veteran particularly hit his stride in the fourth quarter, leading Miami to a pair of scoring marches that went for a combined 19 plays and 119 yards. The latter drive culminated in Fitzpatrick's second and final touchdown of the day, an eight-yard strike to Mike Gesicki that he followed up with a two-point conversion to Preston Williams that brought the Fins within a field goal. Fitzpatrick notably kept his target distribution narrow -- only Gesicki, Isaiah Ford, DeVante Parker and running back Myles Gaskin recorded multiple receptions -- but the 37-year-old did enough to keep his grip on the starting job. Fitzpatrick will try to once again lead his team to its first win of the season in a Week 3 Thursday night road matchup upstate against the Jaguars.

Coach Brian Flores said Monday that Fitzpatrick will start against the Bills in Week 2, Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fitzpatrick is coming off an ugly three-interception season debut against the Patriots, but he'll get another chance to right the ship Week 2. With rookie first-round pick Tua Tagovailoa waiting in the wings, however, Fitzpatrick could end up with his back against the wall if he's unable to quickly turn things around. Additionally, Fizpatrick may be forced to operate without top receiver DeVante Parker (hamstring) against Buffalo's stingy secondary.

Fitzpatrick completed 20 of 30 passes for 190 yards and three interceptions in Sunday's 21-11 loss to New England. He added 18 rushing yards on five carries and ran in a two-point conversion.

EDGE Analysis

Ryan was more Fitztragic than Fitzmagic in the first half, throwing for just 115 yards and a pair of interceptions to take a 7-3 deficit into the locker room. Things didn't get any better after the break, though Fitzpatrick managed to bring his team within three points early in the fourth quarter. He orchestrated an 11-play, 80-yard touchdown drive, which was capped by a one-yard Jordan Howard run followed by a Fitzpatrick two-point conversion. While the veteran is currently viewed as the likely starter in Week 2 against the Bills, rookie Tua Tagovailoa could get the call sooner rather than later if Fitzpatrick fails to raise his level of play.

As expected, Fitzpatrick will begin the season as Miami's starting quarterback, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

This outcome isn't surprising, but it's notable that first-round draft pick Tua Tagovailoa was deemed healthy enough to serve as the team's No. 2 signal-caller, prompting a parting of ways with Josh Rosen. For now, the Dolphins figure to proceed gradually with Tagovailoa, who's bouncing back from a major hip injury he suffered last November, especially with this year's abridged offseason in mind. Meanwhile, fellow QB Jake Rudock is on Miami's practice squad. The 37-year-old Fitzpatrick thus represents an option in deeper fantasy formats, but Miami's pass-catching corps isn't especially deep, so his upside out of the gate hinges on how well he clicks with the likes of wideouts DeVante Parker and Preston Williams, as well as tight end Mike Gesicki.

Fitzpatrick (personal) is back with the Dolphins and will take part in Monday's practice, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fitzpatrick took a few days away from the team to spend time with his family after his mother passed away. He's expected to get the start Week 1 against New England.

Fitzpatrick missed Saturday's practice for personal reasons, with coach Brian Flores saying he isn't sure if the quarterback will return to the team in time for a Sept. 13 season opener against the Patriots, ESPN.com's Cameron Wolfe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fitzpatrick's mother passed away Saturday morning, so he'll likely be with his family for at least the next few days. He's been working as the Dolphins' top quarterback throughout training camp, with multiple reports suggesting he'll be the Week 1 starter. Tua Tagovailoa and Josh Rosen will be the options under center if Fitzpatrick isn't back with the team in time for the season opener.

Fitzpatrick returned to practice Saturday, Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fitzpatrick hardly missed any practice time after being excused by the Dolphins for personal reasons Friday. The veteran is expected to be the team's starter Week 1, but 2020 first-round pick Tua Tagovailoa could make up some ground in the competition with a solid training camp.

Fitzpatrick is currently away from the team for personal reasons, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Brian Flores noted Friday that the team will take it day-by-day with regard to its QB situation in Fitzpatrick's absence, but as long as the veteran signal-caller is not at practice, Tua Tagovailoa and Josh Rosen will share reps.
