Miami DolphinsOur read
Written Sun 12:01 am Central, for week 6
Miami sits on bye in week 6 of 2026, so Willis gives you zero points this week no matter what. There's no designation for him on Sunday's report, so nothing is holding him back, the Dolphins just don't play. He'll get back on the field in week 7 away at the Jets, kicking off Sunday at 12:00 pm Central, coming off 11.7 PPR points a game this season. Sit him this week and keep him on the roster for week 7.
Written Oct 17, from his facts through last season
The job in Miami is real now, and that is what changed for Malik Willis this year. He is listed first among MIA quarterbacks under a new staff, Jeff Hafley as head coach and Bobby Slowik calling plays, after 13 healthy weeks he did not play in Green Bay in 2025. If you need a second quarterback, the seat itself is the argument for holding him.
The production has not matched. He has played all five weeks and scored 11.7 points a game, well short of the 18.3 a game we expected from him before the season. Week 4 of 2026 was 2.5 points. For the full season our number sits at 165 points, and his first five weeks have not put him on a path there. The defense is part of it: pressured on 28% of his dropbacks, blitzed on 31% of the 160 charted, and his completions are running 1.8 points below expectation, QB27 among 35 quarterbacks with 50 or more tracked attempts. Last season he beat the position's weekly median once in 4 games, so the low weeks are not new.
The saving trait is his legs, 186 rush yards on 27 carries, and that is what keeps a quarterback this inaccurate fantasy-viable at all. But 0 targets so far means no receiving cherry on top, and the tier behind him thins out fast, with 2 players left before a 15.9-point drop. He sits on his bye in week 6 of 2026, so there is no decision this week. We would hold him as a second quarterback in deeper formats and keep streaming options ready, because the pressure and the accuracy have to improve before we trust him in a starting lineup.
