Malik Willis

PositiveSleeper0:00

Malik Willis is the easiest draft pick in home leagues due to his massive rushing floor; he averaged 58 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown per game in his three Green Bay starts, totaling 12 points per game from rushing alone. While his passing ability remains ambiguous, his rushing production provides a high fantasy floor, and he can be easily dropped for streaming options if he fails to pan out.

0:00But Malik Willis is one. He's the
0:02easiest click on the board, I think, in
0:03all of fantasy football in in a in a
0:05regular home league type environment.
0:07Because if he doesn't pan out, you drop
0:09him, you stream, you can get low-end QB1
0:12production via streaming, [music] or
0:14what I think you should be doing this
0:16year, pair him with someone else. Pair
0:18him with a Brock Purdy to get that
0:19stability and still some upside, or even
0:22wait longer than a Purdy and get a Bo
0:23Nix with Malik Willis. So, you know, you
0:25look at what he did in Green Bay, he
0:27averaged 58 rushing yards and a rushing
0:28touchdown in his three starts there.
0:30That translated to about 12 points per
0:33game via rushing, which for the record
0:35with Lamar Jackson, if you want to give
0:36this context, Lamar Jackson's more of
0:38like an 8-point per game rushing
0:39quarterback. We don't know what he's
0:41like as a passer. Let's just be honest,
0:42you know, like I'm fine with the leaning
0:44into that ambiguity and just saying like
0:46I have no idea if Malik Willis is going
0:48to be a great passer or not. [music] But
0:49the bottom line is, if they deploy him
0:51the way that we think they're going to
0:52deploy him, this is his floor in fantasy
0:55football. To me, he's like the easiest
0:57click on the board this year.
0:58>> And I'm sure you know this stat. Ian
0:59Hartitz [music] scrapped this awesome
1:01stat where since 2014, there have been
1:0334 quarterbacks with 100-plus rush
1:06attempts in the season. 91% of them
1:08finish as a top 12 quarterback in
1:10fantasy.
