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

Overall
Effective in Week 2 start
Willis completed 12 of 14 passes for 122 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions and added six rushes for 41 yards in the Packers' 16-10 win over the Colts on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Willis proved more than competent with the limited game plan he was tasked with running, and both Josh Jacobs (151 rushing yards) and his defense (three interceptions, one sack) did plenty of heavy lifting. The 2022 third-round pick also was effective as a rusher, and he did average a solid 8.7 yards per attempt on his 14 drop backs. Willis' one touchdown toss went to Dontayvion Wicks from 14 yards out late in the first quarter, and he next takes on his former Titans squad on the road in a Week 3 road matchup as Love continues his multi-week recovery.

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
Takes first-team reps Wednesday
Willis, who could start in place of Jordan Love in Sunday's matchup with the Colts, took first-team reps Wednesday and feels he will be more prepared to play than he was as a rookie with the Titans in 2021, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports. "I mean, that's the only way you get better is reps, and live game reps would definitely be a different feel," Willis said. "At this point, I've only played three games and I was a rookie. Call it what you want to, 'I wasn't ready yet,' but I had to go in and I'm a different player than then."
ANALYSIS
Willis went 1-2 as a rookie with the Titans, but they were games in which he was modestly involved and Tennessee leaned heavily on the Derrick Henry-led run game and the defense. Willis didn't even accrue 100 passing yards in any of those contests, but he expressed confidence Wednesday that he would perform much better if given the opportunity now.
