2024 Fantasy Outlook
Willis' potential to be a starting quarterback in the NFL has seemingly come and gone. In addition to drafting Will Levis in 2023, the Titans also added Mason Rudolph as a free agent this offseason. That puts Willis in the position to be inactive as the third quarterback in most games in 2024. In order to stick in the league beyond his rookie contract, he'll need to improve a number of areas in his game, most importantly his accuracy from the pocket. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Beats former team
Willis completed 13 of his 19 passes for 202 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 30-14 win over the Titans. He added six rushes for 73 yards and an additional touchdown.
ANALYSIS
Willis drew his second consecutive start, this one coming against the Titans, who traded him for a seventh-round pick in late August. It wasn't a big surprise to see Willis excel as a rusher, and he played a key role in that regard in each of the Packers' first two possessions by finding the end zone from five yards away and then accounting for 57 yards on the ground on the Green Bay's second drive that resulted in a field goal. What was more unexpected was his ability as a passer, as Willis was able to accurately distribute the ball to skill-position players while recording four completions of at least 30 yards -- highlighted by a 30-yard touchdown toss to Emanuel Wilson midway through the third quarter. Jordan Love (knee) is likely to be back for a Week 4 divisional matchup with Minnesota, but Willis has filled in admirably and gone 2-0 as a starter to this point.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
It would be drastic to say that Willis' chance to be a starter in the NFL is already gone, but his rookie season wasn't positive. After being projected as a first-round pick in the 2022 draft, he slipped to the third round before Tennessee selected him. Willis spent much of his rookie campaign as the backup to Ryan Tannehill, though he did appear in eight games and made three starts. In those appearances, he averaged only 4.5 yards per attempt and had three interceptions with no touchdowns. Even his significant rushing ability didn't translate, as he accrued 123 total rushing yards with only one TD. Willis is now in danger of slipping to third on depth chart after the Titans selected Will Levis early in the second round of April's draft.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Week 4 starting status in limbo
Coach Matt LaFleur said Thursday that Jordan Love will be a game-time decision for Week 4 against the Vikings, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, so whether Willis starts the game won't be clarified until shortly before kickoff Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.
ANALYSIS
Willis has led the Packers to consecutive wins while Love recovers from a knee injury, but Love could be ready to return and reclaim his starting job as soon as Sunday. Love was limited in practice both Wednesday and Thursday. Despite Love's lackluster Week 1 performance, the Packers have little choice but to turn back to him under center after giving him a four-year, $220 million contract in the offseason -- a rate of $110 million for every 300-yard passing performance Love has posted in his career.
