Malik Willis
QB - Green Bay Packers
Availability
Malik Willis completed both of his pass attempts for six yards and one touchdown while also rushing once for 16 yards in the Packers’ 27-20 win over the Giants in Week 11.
Fantasy Impact
Willis came in after Jordan Love exited with an apparent shoulder injury, leading a scoring drive for the Packers. The backup remains nothing more than injury insurance for No. 1 quarterback Jordan Love, who returned to finish the Week 11 contest behind center, with a Week 12 contest against the Minnesota Vikings up next.
Malik Willis (calf) was added to the injury report as a limited participant at practice on Friday.
Fantasy Impact
Willis is a new addition to the team's injury report, being listed with a calf injury that he seems to have recently suffered. It could leave him sidelined for Monday's game against the Eagles, which would likely leave Clayton Tune as the QB2 for the Packers behind Jordan Love.
Malik Willis is off the injury report for Sunday's Wild Card game against the Eagles.
Fantasy Impact
Willis and Jordan Love are both off the injury report heading into Sunday. Willis will remain in his usual backup role behind Love.
Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Malik Willis was a full participant at practice on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Jordan Love was also able to practice in full on Thursday. Willis should remain in his backup role in Sunday's Wild Card game against the Eagles.
Malik Willis completed 10-of-13 passing attempts for 136 yards in Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Chicago Bears.
Fantasy Impact
Willis had to step in at quarterback for the Packers when Jordan Love left the game with an injury. The 25-year old was okay overall in his limited action, but he lost a fumble that contributed to the team's loss. He is under contract for the Packers in 2025, so the current expectation seems to be that he will return to play the backup role once again.
