JJ Zachariason identifies Malik Willis as a primary late-round QB sleeper with high odds of finishing the season as QB1. Willis's offensive scheme emphasizes mobility—"attack every single blade of grass"—which contrasts favorably against Quinn Ewers's point-and-shoot approach. Zachariason notes rushing injury risk but expects high-end fantasy moments and compares Willis to the 2017–2018 late-round rushing QB archetype (Colin Kaepernick era) that fantasy has since priced out. Willis's receiver group (Jalen Tolbert, Tutu Atwell, Chris Bell, Caleb Douglas, Malik Washington, Kevin Coleman Jr.) is inferior to elite supporting casts like Kyler Murray's (Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, Juwan Jennings), which is why Murray gets drafted a few rounds later. Zachariason recommends Willis as a bench stash even in 10–12 team leagues given small-sample upside.
