Willis faces easiest schedule matchup of season vs. Lions; fringe QB1 with dual-threat upside.

Willis is on the streaming radar for Week 9 after facing one of the league's hardest schedules this season (only one defense worse than 15th in fantasy points allowed to QBs). He was serviceable against the Raiders (16.7 fantasy points in Week 1) and better against defenses in the upper half in fantasy points allowed to QBs (18.9 points vs. Bengals in Week 5, 26.0 points vs. Jets in Week 7). This week, Willis draws his easiest matchup of the season against a Lions defense that has surrendered the most completions, yards, TDs, and fantasy points to the position, with every QB Detroit has faced scoring 17-plus fantasy points. Willis, who has two pass TDs in two straight games and ranks top five among QBs in carries, rushing yards, and rushing TDs, should be viewed as a fringe QB1.
