if he plays 17 games, he might run for 1,000 yards. Yes, he's that good of a runner. In those six career starts, Willis has averaged 44.8 rushing yards per game and has run for four touchdowns. He's averaged about 8.5 fantasy points per game just with his legs. And Willis made enormous strides as a passer in his two years as Jordan Love's backup in Green Bay. Over 11 appearances and three starts with the Packers, Willis completed 78.7% of his throws and averaged 10.9 yards per pass attempt, with six touchdown passes and zero interceptions.

Willis's 1,000-yard rushing upside and improved passing offer top-10 QB ceiling.

Willis has made six career starts and might have the worst set of pass-catchers in the league, but the appeal is his rushing upside: if he plays 17 games, he might run for 1,000 yards. In six career starts, Willis has averaged 44.8 rushing yards per game and has run for four touchdowns, averaging about 8.5 fantasy points per game just with his legs. Willis also made enormous strides as a passer in his two years as Jordan Love's backup in Green Bay, completing 78.7% of his throws and averaging 10.9 yards per pass attempt with six touchdown passes and zero interceptions over 11 appearances and three starts. The source says Willis is capable of being a needle-mover as a runner, and if he can just be a competent passer, there's top-10 quarterback potential here.
