FantasyPros Articles on Malik Willis
From the article
Over the last two seasons, Willis has posted a 5.6% big-time throw rate (118 dropbacks, per PFF), 10.9 yards per attempt, and averaged 44.8 rushing yards per game. Willis's running prowess should have him flirting with QB1 production this year alone. If he and this offense surpass lowly expectations through the air, Willis would be a strong QB1 with upside in 2026.
STACKED’s take
Willis's elite rushing and efficiency metrics offer QB1 upside if Miami's passing game develops.
Willis enters Miami with limited starting experience but impressive efficiency metrics over the last two seasons: 5.6% big-time throw rate (118 dropbacks, per PFF), 10.9 yards per attempt, and 44.8 rushing yards per game. Derek Brown notes that Willis's big-time throw rate would have ranked eighth-best among all QBs with 110+ dropbacks last year (behind Caleb Williams), his yards per attempt would have led the NFL, and his rushing yardage per game would have ranked first, fourth, and third among QBs over the last three years. With talented rookie receivers Chris Bell and Kevin Coleman Jr. and tight end Greg Dulcich (outstanding on a per-route basis), Willis's running prowess alone could produce QB1 numbers; if the passing game develops, he offers strong QB1 upside. ECR of 20 vs. ADP of 21 suggests slight undervaluation.
