From the article

running QB Malik Willis scored 16.7 points, a bunch coming on his 14-yard touchdown run to begin the second half. He is a legit runner... Willis might not run for 1,000 yards or double-digit touchdowns, but he is going to run a lot and produce.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Top-10 fantasy QB projection; rushing volume underestimated by market.

Willis scored 16.7 PPR points in Week 1 with significant rushing production (14-yard TD run). The source projects Willis as a top-10 fantasy QB this season, arguing that running QBs are systematically underestimated. Historical comparisons: Justin Fields was QB6 in 2022 despite winning only 3 of 15 starts and throwing for just 2,242 yards and 17 TDs; Michael Vick was QB2 in 2006 despite his team losing more than winning. Willis will run frequently and produce; he may not reach 1,000 rushing yards or double-digit rushing TDs, but rushing volume will separate him into elite fantasy territory.
