Ron Stewart recommends Malik Willis as a high-upside QB2 stash for managers with pocket passers, highlighting his 'Konami code' rushing ability.

Ron Stewart views Malik Willis as a fine option at QB2, though expresses frustration that Willis is still available late in the draft, suggesting he represents decent value at the position. Stewart positions Willis as a key value target in superflex formats; he emphasizes that a hero QB/hero RB build is the meta strategy, and Willis at a late-round price (809) is critical to making that archetype work. Stewart explicitly states that if Willis is unavailable and the team is forced to pivot to alternatives like Daniel Jones or Stroud, the team quality declines significantly: "If he doesn't get lucky that Malik Willis comes back to 809... I would say no. And that's where it gets to like playing with fire in this format."PositiveValueAug 17, 2026

Ron Stewart identifies Malik Willis as a significant downside catalyst for Dolphins pass-catchers. Willis has a 3.3-second career time to throw—longer than any 2024 NFL QB except Shedeur Sanders—indicating excessive ball-holding. Over his Green Bay stint, Willis targeted running backs only 10.2% of the time (ahead of only Riley Leonard and Anthony Richardson among 74 qualified passers) and posted a 74% drop-back conversion rate, well below Tua Tagovailoa's 83% (eighth in the NFL). These metrics suggest Willis will severely limit checkdown opportunities and target volume for Dolphins running backs compared to the Tua-era offense.PositiveValueAug 11, 2026

Malik Willis is recommended as a late-round quarterback option (round 7+) as part of a strategy to avoid the 22.2% bust rate in rounds 3-4 and instead target quarterbacks with better value in later rounds where league winner rates remain competitive.NegativeValueAug 3, 2026
The source selects Malik Willis as a fine unstacked quarterback option, noting roster construction flexibility and that the team can be built as a 3663 (three RBs, six WRs, six TEs, three QB) if desired, suggesting Willis fits the draft strategy and provides positional flexibility.NegativeProjectionNo date
Ben Gretch projects Malik Willis's Dolphins team for the fewest pass attempts in the NFL. Willis has made six career starts and never thrown more than 23 passes in a game; his career scramble and sack rate combined exceed 25% of drop backs. Gretch expects the team to be bottom-five in total pass volume, as Willis converts the fewest called passes into actual pass attempts among starting QBs, and the Shanahan-tree offense prioritizes run-heavy play under center. Even with a second-hardest schedule forcing trailing situations, the team is committed to running even when behind.
