STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Willis is a high-upside QB stash with a favorable Week 1 matchup.

JJ Zachariason highlights Malik Willis as a viable waiver wire stash with significant upside, citing his 11.8 rushing points per game last year and 0.88 fantasy points per drop back over the last two seasons. Despite uncertainty regarding his passing ability, he is considered a fringe top-15 quarterback for Week 1 against the Raiders.
