Recommended as a QB streamer; gave a QB1 performance last week and is expected to give another QB1 performance via ethical hooping or garbage time against the Patriots this week; the Patriots have given up multiple scores and at least 240 yards passing in two of the last three games; with full complement of weapons including Greg Dulcich, Caleb Douglas, Malik Washington, and Chris Bell, plus a competent running game with Ollie Gordon and one of the most productive offensive lines, the Broncos offense transforms from league worst-looking to having all these weapons; available in pretty much every redraft league.PositiveValueOct 27, 2026

Malik Willis is widely viewed in the industry as a cheat-code quarterback because he will likely play from behind and accumulate significant rushing yards, potentially reaching 1,000 yards if healthy.NegativeProjectionAug 6, 2026
Malik Willis is projected to provide good early-season fantasy numbers, but there is a 10-15% chance he gets benched for Quinn Ewers or another quarterback as the season progresses.NegativeProjectionAug 6, 2026
Malik Willis is viewed as a 'break glass in case of emergency' quarterback due to a lack of offensive talent in Miami, specifically an abysmal wide receiver room and poor offensive line.

Mentioned as a backup QB prospect being targeted in dynasty leagues with hopes of future starting opportunity, but speaker cautions against banking on job security given NFL market volatility.NegativeProjectionJul 10, 2026
Willis's ceiling is limited to top-12 at best, not top-5, because rushing alone is a floor for QBs, not a ceiling—he would need either a historic rushing season or developed passing game to reach elite fantasy status.PositiveProjectionJul 10, 2026
Willis is projected at 16.3 fantasy points per game in four-point passing touchdown leagues, accounting for spike weeks in the low 20s from rushing upside but also stinker games where the offense struggles.PositiveValueJul 5, 2026
Being drafted higher than most people in upcoming season due to rushing upside. Will put up fantasy points with his legs; will be productive for a season or two on rosters despite Dolphins team quality. Rushing ability is key fantasy value driver.PositiveValueJun 22, 2026
Malik Willis is a preferred late-round quarterback pick for zero-RB builds, offering good value in the speaker's strategy.NegativeValueJun 16, 2026

Willis gets a favorable Week 16 matchup against the Chargers.PositiveRoleJun 12, 2026

Malik Willis is expected to be a rushing quarterback for the Dolphins, which will impact target distribution in the offense; despite Willis's rushing role, Devontae Houston is projected to be the primary receiving option.NegativeProjectionNo date
The source projects Willis as a top-ten fantasy quarterback despite being a first-time true starter. The reasoning centers on his elite athleticism, expected high scramble rate due to poor offensive line and game scripts favoring pass plays, and dual-threat upside where he scores fantasy points whether throwing or running. Even in a disaster scenario, his late-round ADP allows for a low-risk exit after week three, while the upside is a season-long starter finishing as quarterback eight.PositiveUsageNo date
One of best athletes at QB position; expected to lead league in scramble rate due to Dolphins' weak pass protection and game scripts playing from behind. Will accumulate fantasy points whether throwing or scrambling; source "would not be surprised in the slightest if he leads the league in scramble rate."PositiveBreakoutNo date
QB18 lottery ticket with elite small-sample metrics: highest EPA per play of any QB in NFL, highest scramble rate, 85.7% completion rate. Source compares upside to Justin Fields' 2022 Bears season (top-5 QB without elite passing). Strategy: Willis could finish as top-10 fantasy QB through rushing alone if benched, given his athleticism and game scripts favoring pass plays.NegativeRoleNo date
Willis faces significant uncertainty with Miami's weak offensive weapons (Dulcich, Malik Washington) and potential team tanking, plus the risk of being benched despite good performance.PositiveValueNo date
Willis is valued at QB 26 prices but could produce as a QB 10 by production, making him a high-upside gamble in the ninth round.PositiveBreakoutNo date
Willis is an asymmetrical upside bet in the ninth round with rushing floor combined with passing efficiency; if he hits, he could be a top-7 quarterback with rushing upside.
