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 Bucky Irving

Bucky Irving vs. Falcons: Primed for Heavy Workload at Home

Irving continues to lead the Tampa Bay backfield ahead of Kenny Gainwell and Sean Tucker, completely past his prior illness and fresh off a stellar two-touchdown, 106-yard rushing outing against Carolina. Over his last three games, he has logged 64 carries, cementing his role as the clear focal point of the Buccaneers' ground attack.

Our weekly projection tabs Irving for approximately 17 carries, 74 rushing yards, and three receptions for 15.5 fantasy points in a favorable home divisional matchup against Atlanta. Roster rates sit at a full 100% with start rates at 96%, meaning fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats as a high-end RB2.
