Malik Willis completed 15-of-27 passes for 137 yards, one touchdown, two interceptions and a fumble in the Dolphins’ 31-24, Week 5 loss to the Bengals, adding eight rushes for 74 yards and a touchdown.
Willis had a poor passing day, finishing the first quarter completing 0-of-4 passes. He threw a pair of second quarter interceptions to Jordan Battle, the first coming off a tip and the second on a cross-body throw and poor decision. He also fumbled and recovered a snap in the two-minute drill while a potential third interception was dropped in the endzone in the second half. Willis recovered with a touchdown throw to Kevin Coleman in the fourth quarter but fumbled deep in the Dolphins’ own territory late in the game. He capped off his day with a quick goal-line rushing score at the end of the game but it was too little, too late. Between his decision-making and lack of ball security, Willis had a poor game but good fantasy production due to his rushing output. Willis is a fantasy QB2 heading into a Week 6 Dolphins bye week.
