Ryan Fitzpatrick Expects to Start the Opener for the Dolphins

When the Dolphins take the field in Week 1 to kick off their 2020 season, expect Ryan Fitzpatrick to be under center at quarterback with the hopes of pulling off another upset, Matt Johnson of Sportsnaut reports.

Fitzpatrick, who played a pivotal role in Miami’s stunning Week 17 win over the Patriots last season, seems to have the edge at quarterback over Tua Tagovailoa.

The Dolphins selected Tua Tagovailoa with the No. 5 pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, confident he will be the face of the franchise. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the talented rookie seemingly is far behind in the training camp battle.
