Moving Up this Week

The following players warrant waiver wire consideration this week.

Tua Tagovailoa has landed in the concussion protocol again after week 16. Tagovailoa had a scary incident that was not officially a concussion, then a concussion that held him out for weeks 5 and 6 before he returned to the lineup.
