Dolphins Malik Willis (toe) was removed from the injury report and will play in Week 2 against the 49ers. 2026-09-18 19:00:02 Willis practiced in full all week, so his toe injury should not be an issue against the 49ers. The Dolphins’ quarterback told reporters this week that he is focused on taking fewer sacks moving forward. As his team fell farther behind on the scoreboard last week, Willis began holding onto the ball for far too long. Getting the ball out quickly or throwing on the run could help. |

Dolphins QB Malik Willis said he knows he must take fewer sacks in Week 2 against the 49ers. 2026-09-17 15:00:02 Willis stood in the pocket, holding onto the ball too long when trailing the Raiders in the second half last week. He is currently nursing a toe injury, though scrambling faster, or at least throwing on the run, might help him achieve his new goal. Checking down to explosive RB De’Von Achane would also be smart, but the South Florida Sun-Sentinel’s David Furones instead highlighted Willis’ strong connection with rookie WR Caleb Douglas in his article on the subject. Getting the ball out of his hands quickly to either player would be a smart move. Willis’ Dolphins will likely be trailing often in the second half. Developing go-to responses to this situation would help out all involved for fantasy purposes. |

Malik Willis (toe) was a full participant in Wednesday’s practice. 2026-09-16 20:00:02 Willis popped up on the Dolphins’ injury report with a toe injury, though he was a full practice participant. This indicates the issue is minor enough for the 27-year-old to keep practicing at full strength. Note down Willis’ toe issue, but expect him to be back out there for Week 2 against the 49ers. |

Malik Willis completed 15-of-27 passes for 220 yards and one interception in the Dolphins’ 13-27, Week 1 loss to the Raiders, adding six rushes for 39 yards and one touchdown. 2026-09-13 23:00:02 Willis scrambled very effectively and was unafraid to test the Raiders’ defense deep. His pocket awareness seemingly waned as the Raiders extended their lead throughout the game, leading to two batted passes and three sacks taken in the fourth quarter, bringing his total to five on the day. The Dolphins’ rookie WRs Caleb Douglas and Chris Bell look like hits, and RB De’Von Achane was his typically reliable self as a receiver. Willis should produce better box scores as the season progresses. He is borderline QB1/2 against the 49ers next week. |

Malik Willis completed 4-of-5 passes for 43 yards in Friday’s preseason game against the Commanders, adding two rushes for nine yards. 2026-08-14 21:00:02 Willis’ lone incompletion was not his fault. His intended receiver stepped out of bounds during the catch. The Dolphins’ new quarterback was not afraid to push the ball downfield and scrambled twice in Commanders territory. One carry occurred in the green zone, and Willis managed to break an attempted horse-collar tackle before being pushed out of bounds at the four-yard line. Willis won’t fool you into thinking he is an elite quarterback, but his dual-threat profile should yield QB1 spiked weeks this season. |
