Malik Willis vs DET — Dual-Threat Streaming Appeal in High-Scoring Home Matchup

Willis has settled in as Miami's starting quarterback, displaying noticeable growth and decisiveness over his last two outings with four passing touchdowns and a rushing score. He has emerged as a vocal leader for a young offense alongside running back Ollie Gordon II and tight end Greg Dulcich, with fantasy managers taking notice as his roster rate has surged toward 40% over the past two weeks.

With Miami entering as home underdogs in a matchup with major shootout potential against Detroit, the game script should demand consistent passing volume. Our weekly projection forecasts Willis for roughly 212 passing yards and 27 rushing yards with 1.7 total scores. His rushing baseline elevates him to a high-upside streaming target and a viable starter in two-quarterback leagues.

J.J. McCarthy at Philadelphia — Streaming Appeal Against Struggling Division Rival

McCarthy has taken over as the starting quarterback, coming off an efficient 252-yard performance against Houston. With lead running back Cam Skattebo doubtful due to a hamstring injury, New York could rely more on McCarthy and top target Malik Nabers against a reeling Eagles defense on a six-game losing streak.

Our weekly projection models 15.7 fantasy points, anticipating around 223 passing yards and 1.4 passing touchdowns along with 18 rushing yards. With his roster rate climbing to nearly 39%, McCarthy profiles as a quality streamer in single-QB leagues and a solid QB2 in Superflex formats.
