Willis' rushing upside and Dolphins investment position him for low-end QB1 potential.

Willis signed a three-year, $67.5 million contract with the Dolphins, signaling the team envisions him as an NFL starter. His rushing ability alone gives him a chance to crack the top 12 fantasy QBs; in three relief starts over two years with the Packers, he posted rushing totals of 41, 60 and 73 yards while averaging a touchdown per game on the ground, finishing as a top-seven fantasy QB in two of those three contests. Though he still has much to prove as a passer and lost top receiver Jaylen Waddle, Willis' path to fantasy relevance comes through his rushing skills. He could flirt with low-end QB1 numbers even if his passing game doesn't fully develop. Untapped upside exists if pass-catchers like Malik Washington, rookies Caleb Douglas, Kevin Coleman Jr., or Chris Bell (recovering from torn ACL) step up alongside De'Von Achane and tight end Greg Dulcich.
