11th/12th round upside only; don't draft despite rushing upside.
Malik Willis is characterized as 'this year's Justin Fields, but with like a couple pluses next to his name'—a better passer than Fields with a 36% pass rate in three starts with the Titans and 37% with the Packers, indicating the Dolphins will run the ball heavily. Willis is the fastest quarterback in the NFL (possibly faster than Lamar Jackson) with an absolute cannon arm, but the source does not project him as a top-15 quarterback in standard 12-team leagues; he's an 11th or 12th round upside pick. While his rushing totals across three starts (6 carries 41 yards, 6 carries 73 yards 1 TD, 9 carries 60 yards 2 TDs) are 'legitimately sustainable from a fantasy perspective,' the Dolphins' poor record, tanking situation, and terrible receiver core (Jalen Tolbert, Tutu Atwell, Malik Washington as presumptive starters, with rookies Chris Bell, Caleb Douglas, Kevin Coleman behind them) constrain his ceiling. Limited passing production (more than 200 yards twice, more than 140 yards twice in his career) further limits upside. The source advises: 'Don't draft him' and notes he's 'the kind of guy that maybe you cut.'
