All Fantasy Football with Ian Hartitz insights about Malik Willis
PositiveMatchupJul 16, 2026
Malik Willis has the single highest scramble rate in the league over the last two seasons in terms of times taken off per drop back, which differs significantly from Tua Tagovailoa's bottom-five scramble rate.PositiveValueJul 15, 2026
Malik Willis is available as a late-round quarterback option, providing good value for zero-RB draft strategies.PositiveValueJul 10, 2026
Could do his best 2022 Justin Fields impression as a late-round option, virtually free at the end of drafts.PositiveProjectionJul 10, 2026
Over the past decade, 28 quarterbacks with at least 100 rush attempts in a season had a 93% hit rate posting top 12 numbers on a per game basis, suggesting Willis could perform well if he gets rushing volume.PositiveRoleJul 10, 2026
The real reason for interest is his rushing upside, fully expecting him to clear triple digit rushing yards with sub 4.4 speed, top four quarterback in yards per scramble over past two years, and QB1 in yards per rush on read option.PositiveProjectionJul 10, 2026
Over the past two years in Green Bay, worked as the most efficient passing quarterback in the league with better EPA per dropback and CPOE than anyone.PositiveSleeperJul 7, 2026
Ian Hartitz places Malik Willis in the 'Run Forest Run' tier 6 (dual-threat rushing QBs), going alongside WRs/RBs like Cooper Cup, Jawan Jennings, and Brilan Allen in drafts—never-start bench players—yet could provide QB1 upside (albeit 'ugly variety'). Among QBs with 100+ rush attempts over the past decade, 26 of 28 posted top-12 fantasy points per game. Hartitz highlights improved passing in 2025 with Green Bay: training wheels off, average target depth increased significantly, moving away from the heavy RPO/play-action scheme in 2024. Willis is a viable late-round dual-threat strategy paired with floor play like Jared Goff.
