Malik Willis — 2026 Fantasy Outlook
The case for drafting him
Malik Willis is a mobile quarterback on Miami's roster with a three-year track record of contributing both through the air and on the ground. Over the 2023–2025 seasons he averaged 94 rush yards and 348.7 pass yards per year, with a combined average of 2 passing touchdowns and 1 rushing touchdown annually. His 2024 and 2025 seasons each produced 3 passing touchdowns and at least 123 rush yards, showing a consistent dual-threat floor in the limited snaps he has received. For a drafter who needs a late-roster handcuff at quarterback, Willis is a name with documented NFL production at the position.
What the model projects
The projection for Willis in 2026 is 60.8 half-PPR fantasy points. His draft value is -206.6, meaning he projects well below replacement level at the quarterback position. He ranks QB37 and #917 overall, placing him in Tier 9 on the board. Miami's bye week falls in Week 6.

The range of outcomes
Willis's stat history reflects a backup role — 54 pass attempts in his most active season (2024), 35 in 2025, and just 5 in 2023. The three-year averages of 31.3 pass attempts, 15.7 rush attempts, and 94 rush yards per season define the realistic floor. Any meaningful upside is contingent on a significant increase in playing time, which the current projection does not reflect. At 60.8 projected points, the ceiling in a backup role is narrow.
How to draft him
Willis is not being drafted consistently enough across platforms to carry a market ADP. That tells you everything about his current standing in public drafts. At QB37 and #917 overall, he belongs at the very back end of rosters, if at all — a late-round insurance option for a drafter who wants a mobile quarterback on the bench. His bye in Week 6 is worth noting when stacking your quarterback room.

Questions drafters ask
At QB37 and #917 overall with a projected 60.8 points and a draft value of -206.6, he projects well below replacement level. He is a back-of-roster option at best, suitable only as a late handcuff if you need quarterback depth.
Over 2023–2025 he averaged 31.3 pass attempts, 24.7 completions, 348.7 pass yards, 2 passing touchdowns, 15.7 rush attempts, 94 rush yards, and 1 rushing touchdown per season. His most active season was 2024, when he threw 54 passes for 550 yards and 3 touchdowns while adding 138 rush yards and 1 rushing touchdown.
He has no market ADP — he is not being drafted consistently enough across platforms to register one. He is effectively undrafted in most public leagues.
Miami's bye falls in Week 6, so plan your quarterback depth accordingly if you do roster him.
