Ep. 11 — QB Rankings 16-20: Malik Willis Is My Biggest QB Stand of Best Ball 2026

Podcast Description

Part 4 of the Best Ball QB Rankings — closing out the top 20 with the sneaky-important QB3 tier. Four of these five guys have finished QB6 or higher in their career, and the fifth (Malik Willis) put up 32.5 DK points in his ONE 2025 start.

Biggest headline: Malik Willis is my #1 QB stand of the entire best ball season at 20% target exposure. He's the Justin Fields comp — if Justin Fields could actually throw. Miami's $45M-guaranteed contract says they believe he's their guy for the next 4-5 years, and the Dolphins' scrappy underdog script sets up perfectly for QB-friendly point totals.

Inside the episode:

• The best-ball-vs-redraft ranking philosophy — why I want exposure to guys I'd rank lower in a redraft
• Kyler Murray + Kevin O'Connell + Jefferson stack — the fresh-start motivator
• Bo Nix year-3 leap case — 12% target (up from 2%) with Waddle and Pat Bryant as core stacks
• Full Malik Willis deep-dive — advanced metrics from his lone start, contract analysis, injury-risk vs bench-risk debate
• Jordan Love's concentrated pass game — why Watson, Kraft, Reed, and Matthew Golden all bump up
• Baker Mayfield's bounce-back case + why Chris Godwin is my biggest WR fade of the year
• Playoff schedules for each — where the Week 15-17 shootouts live
