Sounds like Malik Willis had guys down in Jacksonville for a few weeks Malik Washington, Greg Dulcich, and Jalen Tolbert (of players people are drafting) were confirmed there Just something to note, especially with Dulcich who is a fave late rd TE for me

Dolphins new QB replacing Tua; completion % concerns: 78.7% in 2024 GB (unsustainable) vs. 53% in 2022-23 TEN; small sample size (6 starts before 2024); Bobby Slowik as OC (known for poor adjustments); fewer checkdowns expected vs. Tua; community skeptical Willis can support Achane's 2024 production levels.

Dolphins QB1. Career passing volume extremely low: 6 passing TDs in 22 games; highest passing yards 288; only twice thrown 19+ times (21 and 23 attempts). 2024: 202 passing yards, 1 TD in one start. However, community notes recent improvement: 13.3 QBR in 2022 (rookie), 77.3 in 2023 (GB backup), 99.3 in 2024 (GB, low volume). Caveat: career stats misleading; recent trajectory more relevant. Expected to run ~10 times per game. Rushing upside noted; passing volume remains primary concern for WR upside. Some see him as late-QB2 with rushing floor; others avoid Dolphins WRs entirely due to his limitations.

Article mentions him as available round 8+. Comments note 'Skip Willis because of the unknown' but also mention people may take chances on him like they did Fields last year. Mixed sentiment: speculative upside but unproven.

The analyst believes Malik Willis could become a league-winner if his passing efficiency from Green Bay transfers to Miami, as Bobby Sloick's offenses have finished 12th-22nd in yards and 13th-19th in points, suggesting Willis could benefit from higher passing volume.

Willis is heavily schemed with one-two read looks and misdirection, but analyst is concerned that after 4-5 games defenses will shut down this scheme, forcing Willis into a Justin Fields-like situation where he relies too heavily on his legs and stalls drives due to poor ball distribution.

PositiveRoleJul 15, 2026FantasyPros Articles

QB sleeper rank 2 who gets a chance to prove himself as a starter for the Dolphins after being cast aside by the Titans and rejuvenated as a backup with the Packers; signed to a three-year, $67 million contract in March. Willis is an electric runner; in six career starts, he has averaged 44.8 rushing yards per game and has run for four touchdowns. Willis seems to have made considerable strides as a passer; over 11 appearances and three starts in Green Bay in 2024 and 2025, he completed 78.7% of his throws and averaged 10.9 yards per pass attempt, with six TD passes and zero interceptions. Willis will be hard-pressed to match that passing efficiency with the Dolphins, who might have the worst collection of pass catchers in the league, but his running ability should make him fantasy-viable even if his passing numbers are mediocre.

Willis is undervalued at QB 21 despite rushing upside comparable to top-three NFL rushing QBs (behind only Anthony Richardson), and even with modest passing stats (2,800 yards, 15 TDs), he would still project as a QB1 due to rushing volume.
