Malik Willis has only two carries through two weeks, far fewer than Kirk Cousins and Gino Smith; despite being brought in as a dynamic rushing threat and being under center 69-73% of the time (compared to barely under center last year), the Dolphins have not built a robust option game with him and Devon Etienne, two of the most athletic explosive guys in the NFL.NegativeRoleSep 16, 2026
Willis ran too much under center in Week 1 against the Niners; Mina Kimes expected a more creative, wonky run game with Willis and A-Chan but the offense didn't deliver that style, limiting offensive versatility and conflict creation for defenses.NegativeProjectionSep 3, 2026
