Willis's 762-yard rushing projection gives him 50/50 odds to finish as a top-five QB.
Willis is positioned as a dark horse top-five QB candidate after finally securing a full-time starting role with Miami. His fantasy appeal centers on rushing upside: in six career starts, he averaged 44.8 rushing yards per game, which projects to 762 rushing yards over a 17-game season. Historical analysis shows that since 1999, 56 QBs have rushed for 500+ yards in a season; of that group, 45 (80%) finished as top-12 fantasy QBs and 50% finished as top-five producers. Willis ranked first in fantasy points per dropback (1.35) in 2025 and second (0.84) in 2024. Mobile quarterbacks are described as a cheat code in fantasy, and Willis could lead the position in rushing this season, making him a 50/50 bet to finish as an elite fantasy signal-caller if he clears 500 rushing yards.
