News: 3 days agoWillis completed 20 of 36 passes for 210 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Chiefs. He also rushed nine times for 56 yards and lost a fumble.

Spin: Willis led the team in rushing yards in a game starting running back De'Von Achane (knee) left in the first quarter. Achane could be facing a lengthy absence, which would further deplete a Dolphins offense that already lacks playmakers and entered Sunday's loss without wide receiver Caleb Douglas (ankle) and backup running back Jaylen Wright (foot). Willis has yet to exceed 220 passing yards or produce a multi-touchdown performance for the Dolphins, though he has rushed for at least 39 yards twice in three games ahead of a Week 4 road game at Minnesota.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Willis signed with Miami during the offseason and is set to start after two successful seasons backing up Jordan Love in Green Bay. Willis, a 2022 third-round pick, has very little experience (155 career pass attempts), but he was outstanding in limited work the past two seasons, completing 70 of 89 passes for 972 yards, six TDs and zero INTs (12.1 yards per attempt, 86% completion rate), while also adding major value with his legs (42-261-3) during the span. Willis played at least 80% of the snaps in three games with Green Bay and averaged 23.3 fantasy points in those outings. Willis' inexperience makes him risky and the Miami supporting cast is perhaps the worst in the NFL, but his dual-threat ability makes him a very fascinating late-round flier.
