Malik Willis Fantasy

Tennessee Titans quarterback Malik Willis came in for Ryan Tannehill in the third quarter of the blowout loss to the Buffalo Bills. Tannehill had just thrown a pick-six, and the score got out of hand at 41-7. Willis completed just one-of-four passing attempts for six yards and rushed for 16 yards on four attempts. He also had a rushing fumble. Don't expect Willis to take over for Tannehill just yet. The game was out of hand and Tannehill was getting harassed by the fearsome Bills' front-seven. However, with things trending the wrong way for Tennessee early, Willis' time to start could be coming at some point.

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill was benched during the third quarter of his team's Monday night game against the Buffalo Bills. Tannehill was replaced by third-round rookie quarterback Malik Willis with his team down 41-7. Tannehill and the Tennessee offense struggled against the Bills, with the quarterback completing 11 of his 20 passes for 117 yards, no touchdowns, and two interceptions. Willis is getting his first taste of NFL action after posting some exciting plays and quality stat lines during preseason action. There is no word yet as to whether Tannehill will reclaim his starting job for Week 3's matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Tennessee Titans quarterback Malik Willis will open the season as the backup quarterback. Clearly, the Titans have enough faith in their rookie that they released Logan Woodside. Willis will serve as the primary backup to Ryan Tannehill to begin the season. During the preseason, Willis threw two touchdowns and one interception while rushing for 159 yards in three games. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect Willis to make an impact during his rookie season, assuming Tannehill stays healthy. Although, he could quickly push himself onto the fantasy radar if Tannehill gets hurt.
