I can't wait to see Malik Willis in his first start for the Dolphins. Willis' rushing ability gives him an incredibly high ceiling and floor for Week 1.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalBreakout

Willis' elite rushing and passing efficiency gives him high ceiling in Dolphins debut.

Willis is making his first start for the Dolphins with limited starting resume but outstanding production in limited doses over two years: 5.6% big-time throw rate (118 dropbacks, per PFF), 10.9 yards per attempt, and 44.8 rushing yards per game average. That big-time throw rate would have ranked eighth-best last year among QBs with 110+ dropbacks (behind Caleb Williams), and his yards per attempt would have led the NFL. His rushing yardage mark would have ranked first, fourth, and third among QBs over the last three years. Miami faces a remade Raiders defense that added Quay Walker, Kwity Paye, Nakobe Dean, and Taron Johnson. Last year, the Raiders allowed the tenth-highest passer rating, ninth-highest passing success rate, and tenth-highest EPA per dropback. Willis' rushing ability gives him an incredibly high ceiling and floor for Week 1.
