From the article

Willis's debut as the Dolphins starter was promising, especially given the team had to build a roster with a $180 million dead cap charge. The young receiver corps is capable, and Chris Bell is only going to get better coming off of an ACL tear. The 49ers run defense got creased at times against the Rams, and the Dolphins will surely test them more than Los Angeles did - at least early in the game. The 49ers should build a lead again, and then Willis can tack on some garbage time points against a prevent defense.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalSleeper

Willis is a sleeper with upside vs. 49ers; promising debut despite cap constraints.

Willis is a sleeper QB option in Week 2 against San Francisco. His debut as the Dolphins starter was promising despite the team operating with a $180 million dead cap charge. The young receiver corps is capable, and Chris Bell is only going to get better coming off an ACL tear. The 49ers run defense showed vulnerability against the Rams, and the Dolphins will likely test them more than Los Angeles did early in the game. The 49ers should build a lead again, allowing Willis to accumulate garbage time points against a prevent defense.
