• Dolphins' Malik Willis: Week 8 Waiver Priority List

  19H ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  Willis doesn't have an easy matchup in Week 8 against New England, but he's playing well coming into this game. He has scored at least 20.9 Fantasy points in each of his past two games against Cincinnati and the Jets, and hopefully, he'll stay hot against the Patriots. He finally had his full receiving corps healthy against the Jets with Caleb Douglas joining Malik Washington and Chris Bell, and Willis has run for 110 yards and two touchdowns in his past two outings. I would use Willis as a low-end starter in deeper leagues, and he should be added for up to 5 percent of your remaining FAAB. He also gets Detroit, Indianapolis, Buffalo and the Jets in his four games after Week 8.

• Dolphins' Malik Willis: Three total TDs in Week 7 win

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Willis completed 14 of 21 passes for 208 yards and two touchdowns while rushing six times for 39 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-25 win over the Jets. Willis gave the Dolphins their first lead of the season with a seven-yard touchdown pass to Caleb Douglas on the opening drive. After the Jets tied the game on the ensuing possession, Miami reclaimed the lead with a one-yard Ollie Gordon touchdown run, and Willis extended the advantage to 14 points with a two-yard touchdown run in the waning seconds of the first half. Miami's offense stalled for most of the second half until Willis found Douglas for a 63-yard catch and run to take a 28-17 lead with 4:44 remaining in the fourth quarter. The Jets scored on their next drive, but Willis sealed his first win as Miami's QB with a successful fourth-down QB sneak to pick up a first down and set up victory formation. Up next for Willis and the 1-5 Dolphins is a Week 8 home game against the Patriots.

• Dolphins' Malik Willis: Opens week with full practice

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  Willis was a full participant in Wednesday's practice after being listed on the Dolphins' injury report with a right thumb issue, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Willis wasn't spotted throwing in an informal practice during the Dolphins' Week 6 bye due to an unspecified reason, but the thumb issue provides an explanation. After a week off to rest and recover, Willis kicked off Week 7 prep with no limitations and will be ready to start in Sunday's game against the Jets.

• Dolphins' Malik Willis: Ready to go after minor injury

  9D ago • By RotoWire

  Head coach Jeff Hafley said that Willis should be ready to play Sunday against the Jets after tending to a minor undisclosed injury coming out of the Dolphins' Week 5 loss to the Bengals, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. "I foresee him being good to go," Hafley said. In the 31-24 loss to Cincinnati, Willis played every snap and completed 15 of 27 passes for 137 yards and one touchdown to go with 74 yards on eight carries, but he committed three turnovers (two interceptions, one lost fumble). Though he didn't appear to be bothered by an injury during the game, Willis wasn't spotted throwing during the Dolphins' lone unofficial practice during their Week 6 bye, which raised questions about his health. With the extra time to recuperate, Willis seems to have bounced back fine from whatever physical concern he was dealing with, and the expectation is that he'll face no limitations in practice this week as the Dolphins prepare for a road matchup with the 2-4 Jets.

• Dolphins' Malik Willis: More effective as runner in loss

  17D ago • By RotoWire

  Willis completed 15 of 27 passes for 137 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions and added eight carries for 74 yards and another score in the Dolphins' 31-24 loss to the Bengals on Sunday. He also committed two fumbles, losing one and recovering the other. Willis had a particularly difficult first half through the air, and although he was able to bring up his numbers somewhat in the second half, he still finished with his second-fewest passing yards of the season. Willis connected with Kevin Coleman for a three-yard touchdown just past the midway point of the fourth quarter, but the veteran signal-caller made more of an impact on the ground with a season-high rushing yardage total and his second touchdown of the campaign on the ground. Willis is helping keep the Dolphins competitive on most weeks, so he figures to remain under center for a Week 7 divisional road matchup against the Jets on Sunday, Oct. 25 following a Week 6 bye.
