Who Should I Start? Davis Mills or Malik Willis

Thursday, November 27, 12:30 PM

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills has filled in nicely over the last three games with C.J. Stroud sidelined with a concussion. Mills has led the team to three wins, going 69-for-116 passing (59.5%) for 719 yards, five touchdowns, and one interception while also carrying the ball seven times for 38 yards and another score on the ground. He threw for over 250 yards in his first two starts, and he's tossed two TDs in two of his three starts. While the 27-year-old's fantasy stock has been on the rise as a short-term QB2 option in superflex leagues, he could be headed back to the bench this weekend when the team takes on the division-rival Indianapolis Colts on the road. Stroud remains in the league's concussion protocol, but he's practicing in full and is on track to be cleared to play this Sunday. If Stroud is cleared, Mills will head back to the bench in Week 13 and for the remainder of the season.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that backup quarterback Malik Willis will play in the preseason finale on Saturday against the Seattle Seahawks. The Packers also plan on playing some or most of their starters, at least for a little bit. We would be surprised if starting QB Jordan Love (thumb) plays this weekend after having a minor surgery on his left (non-throwing) thumb last week. The 26-year-old Willis went 6-for-14 for 83 yards on the first three possessions of the second preseason game last weekend against the Indianapolis Colts. Love is fully expected to be ready for the Week 1 regular-season opener in early September, so Willis is primed to open the season as Green Bay's backup signal-caller. The former third-rounder by the Tennessee Titans in 2022 played in seven games in his first year with the Packers in 2024 and led the team to two wins with Love sidelined by injury.
