Malik Willis Beginning to Deliver for Fantasy

Tuesday, October 27, 9:14 AM

In leading the Miami Dolphins to their first win of the season, quarterback Malik Willis joined a short list of players with 1,000 passing yards and 200 rushing yards through seven weeks, and he has now sandwiched consecutive 20+ point fantasy outings around the team's Week 6 bye. Miami faces a tough challenge in Week 8 with the New England Patriots coming to town, but Willis is capable of providing a usable fantasy floor, having run for over 100 yards and two touchdowns in his last two games while turning in one of the season's highest QB ratings in that Week 7 win. With rookie Caleb Douglas (ankle) returning from a three-game absence and posting 70 yards and two touchdowns against the Jets, Willis appears to have a legitimate outside threat back in tow, and he is RotoBaller's QB23 for the week.

Bo Nix News

Bo Nix's Huge Rushing TD Leads to Best Fantasy Performance of Season

Sunday, October 25, 4:47 PM

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix completed 15 of his 29 pass attempts for 222 passing yards, one passing touchdown, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 7 win over the Arizona Cardinals. He also rushed for 73 yards and one rushing touchdown on seven rushing attempts. Nix's turnover-free outing was useful for fantasy football, but he really elevated his fantasy output with an explosive 62-yard rushing touchdown to break a 6-6 tie in the second quarter. Nix posted a new season-high fantasy total in many leagues. Although his 52% completion rate remains quite frustrating, his rushing success and ability to limit turnovers are both incredibly impactful. To his credit, Nix has now strung together four consecutive games without a turnover. He'll rank as a fringe top-12 fantasy quarterback heading into a tough matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. The last time he faced Kansas City, he had just 131 passing yards, one touchdown, one interception, three fumbles, one fumble lost, and four sacks.
