From the episode

We have a ton of variability here. We don't know what Malik Willis is. We don't want to say, Willis won't check down. But we can absolutely say we have no freaking clue.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Willis's checkdown tendencies unknown; creates volatility in Achane's target projection.

JJ Zachariason notes significant uncertainty around Malik Willis as the Dolphins quarterback. The concern is whether Willis will check down to running backs like De'Von Achane in the passing game, which directly impacts Achane's target volume and fantasy value. Zachariason explicitly states 'we have no freaking clue' about Willis's tendencies, making it impossible to project Achane's usage with confidence.
