Malik Willis News
Saturday, October 10, 5:53 AM
Miami Dolphins quarterback Malik Willis had a rough game last week in Minnesota, completing only nine of his 17 pass attempts for a season-low 85 passing yards. He lost a fumble and added just 11 rushing yards, posting his lowest fantasy output of the season in the team's 15-10 road loss. Willis has only produced two touchdowns (one passing, one rushing) in four starts and has four turnovers with a 56.3% completion rate and an average of 178 passing yards per game. He did look much better in Week 3 in his only home game of the season, throwing for 210 passing yards and running for 56 more yards against the Chiefs. He'll hope that coming home to take on the Bengals can help him get back to that kind of production, but with more touchdowns in the mix as well. Willis is only the QB28 in RotoBaller's Week 5 rankings, making him a desperation start even in two-QB leagues this week. His rushing potential makes him intriguing long-term, but the team's overall offensive struggles make him a high-risk play until he finds a better rhythm.

Tyler Shough News
Sunday, October 11, 6:30 PM
New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough completed 16 of his 25 pass attempts for just 96 passing yards, zero touchdowns, and two interceptions during Sunday's Week 5 win against the Minnesota Vikings. He also took a sack and was held without a rushing attempt for the first time in his career. Shough was the QB5 in fantasy football entering Sunday, so his fantasy managers were certainly disappointed to see a dud in Week 5. With that being said, a performance like this is within the range of outcomes when your team is facing the Vikings' defense. Minnesota's defensive unit is incredibly talented and well-coached, leading to results like this one. Week 5 is a huge blemish on Shough's track record, but he has his toughest matchup of the season behind him and should bounce back in Week 6 against a very uninspiring Giants squad.
