Malik Willis last year and in years previous, I tried to fade this guy. Dude, he makes you pay, man.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Willis has punished faders historically; may not start Week 1 with Cousins expected.

The source notes that Malik Willis has made you pay when fading him in the past; despite the Raiders being favored, Willis may not even play in Week 1 as Kirk Cousins is expected to start instead.
