STACKED’s take

Positive signalBreakout

Willis' rushing upside (44.8 YDS/game) offers value despite weak Dolphins receivers.

Willis signed a three-year, $67 million contract with Miami but faces a depleted skill position group. However, his rushing ability provides fantasy viability: in six career starts, he averaged 44.8 rushing yards per game with four rushing touchdowns; over 11 appearances with Green Bay in 2024-2025, he completed 78.7% of passes and averaged 10.9 yards per attempt with six TD passes and zero interceptions. Despite mediocre passing numbers expected with the Dolphins' weak receiving corps, Willis' running ability combined with garbage-time opportunities from playing behind a potentially worst-in-NFL team could generate significant rushing value at ADP 137.
