Lamar Jackson vs Malik Willis: Who Should You Start?
Two quarterbacks who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. Lamar Jackson (Baltimore Ravens) finished the 2025 season averaging 17.1 fantasy points per game in 13 games. Malik Willis (Miami Dolphins) came in at 12.8 PPG over 4 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.
Lamar Jackson carries a 4.3-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.
Both lean on arm talent and offensive scheme as traditional pocket passers. Lamar Jackson threw for 2549 yards and 21 touchdowns, while Malik Willis posted 422 yards and 3 scores. Volume, red zone efficiency, and game script are the key week-to-week differentiators when neither carries rushing upside.
Lamar Jackson has his bye in Week 14, and Malik Willis rests in Week 6. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at quarterback for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
