Outlook Malik Willis

Malik Willis vs. New England — Dual-Threat Momentum Test at Home

Willis heads into Week 8 with solid momentum after delivering his best performance of the season against the Jets, throwing for 208 yards and two touchdowns alongside 37 yards and a score on the ground. Head coach Jeff Hafley voiced strong support for him under center, ensuring his starting job is safe as Miami hosts New England.

As 7.5-point home underdogs, Miami may lean on Willis through the air, creating room for fantasy production. Our models project 152 passing yards and 36 rushing yards for 16.3 fantasy points. His rushing floor offers sneaky upside, making him a viable deep-league or Superflex streamer, though his 10% roster rate reflects lingering volatility in standard 1QB leagues.

Outlook D'Andre Swift

D'Andre Swift at Seattle — Primed for Heavy Workload on Monday Night

Swift enters Week 8 on extended rest after commanding 38 carries and catching eight passes over his last two games as Chicago's lead back. With backfield partner Kyle Monangai still managing thumb and toe injuries, Swift remains the focal point on the ground and retains high-leverage goal-line opportunities.

Fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into lineups across all formats, backed by an elite 97% start rate. Our projections forecast roughly 13 carries for 52 rushing yards alongside three targets, giving him dependable volume and steady touchdown equity in what should be a competitive road tilt.
