Willis's elite rushing ability and improved passing make him fantasy-viable despite weak Dolphins weapons.

Willis, cast aside by the Titans and rejuvenated as a backup with the Packers, signed a three-year, $67 million contract with the Dolphins in March to prove himself as a starter. He is an electric runner who has averaged 44.8 rushing yards per game and four rushing touchdowns across six career starts. Willis has made considerable strides as a passer, completing 78.7% of his throws and averaging 10.9 yards per pass attempt with six TD passes and zero interceptions over 11 appearances and three starts with Green Bay in 2024 and 2025. Pat Fitzmaurice acknowledges Willis will be hard-pressed to match that passing efficiency with the Dolphins, who may have the worst collection of pass catchers in the league, but argues Willis' running ability should make him fantasy-viable even if his passing numbers are mediocre.
