Injury Status: Healthy
by Zach Thompson
Miami Dolphins quarterback Malik Willis has been much better for fantasy football in the last few weeks, and he's a QB to consider as an emergency option from the waiver wire if you need bye-week help or are in a two-QB league. Willis brings dual-threat upside and has at least two total touchdowns in each of his last three games. He threw for one score and ran for another against the Bengals with a season-high 74 rushing yards in Week 5 before the bye week. In Week 7, he led the Dolphins to their only win of the season with 208 passing yards and two touchdowns while running for a third score against the Jets. In Week 8's loss to the Patriots, Willis only had two rushing yards but threw two touchdowns and racked up 211 passing yards. In Week 9, he gets a great matchup against the Lions, who have been the most favorable matchup in the NFL for QBs this season. If you need QB help from the waiver wire, Willis is one of the best widely available streaming options to consider.

Malik Willis 2026 Outlook: A Starting Job With A Lackluster Supporting Cast

It's an exciting time for Malik Willis. The former Packer completed 78% of his passes for over 900 yards in reserve duty across two seasons, impressing general managers across the league with his progression as a quarterback. That made him the cream of the crop in the free agent quarterback class. The Miami Dolphins rewarded the backup to Jordan Love with a three-year, $67.5-million contract to be the team's starter this upcoming season. With his rushing abilities (174 yards in three starts with the Packers), Willis is the type of quarterback that fantasy managers love. He doesn't necessarily need strong passing numbers to rack up fantasy points, which is good, because his receiver corps may be the weakest in the league. The Dolphins traded Jaylen Waddle to Denver this offseason, and Tyreek Hill is no longer part of the team. That leaves Malik Washington, Tutu Atwell, Jalen Tolbert, and three middle-round rookies atop the depth chart. If Willis and running back De'Von Achane can keep the offense humming, he'll outplay his mid-to-low-end QB2 ranking. Otherwise, the lack of skill position talent could keep the former third-round pick from enjoying a breakout campaign.less...
