STACKED’s take
Willis projects as top-12 QB with rushing upside; historical rushing-threshold analysis supports top-five ceiling despit
The source projects Willis to finish as a top-12 fantasy quarterback this season. His per-game rushing pace across a small sample of starts with a previous team already supported nearly 12 fantasy points per game from rushing alone. Even discounting that conservatively to seven points per game, historical research on quarterbacks since 2011 who hit that rushing threshold while throwing enough to qualify as a real starter shows the overwhelming majority finished as a top-20 fantasy quarterback, with average finish equivalent to roughly a top-five season. A separate, independently run analysis using rushing-yardage threshold over the last decade produced almost the exact same result. Both analysts view this as one of the easiest, lowest-cost bets on the board, since even worst-case outcome still resembles usable streaming-caliber fantasy quarterback. Both express real confusion that his current ADP doesn't reflect any of this upside.
