2025 Fantasy Outlook
It may not have registered on the seismic scale when the Packers acquired Willis from the Titans late last August, but the move proved to be a stroke of genius, as he was forced to fill in for an injured Jordan Love shortly thereafter and led Green Bay to two early-season wins. Willis more than held his own in a couple other extended appearances, and when it was all said and done he completed a sterling 74.1 percent of his passes, racked up four scores and turned the ball over only once. Willis again will fill the backup role behind Love in 2025, and while Green Bay will certainly hope to lean on him less, the team shouldn't be too concerned if it has to. Read Past Outlooks

December 23, 2025
Head coach Matt LaFleur said that Willis (shoulder) will be a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
After Jordan Love (concussion) was forced out in the middle of the second quarter of this past Saturday's 22-16 overtime loss to the Bears, Willis stepped in under center and moved the ball effectively. He completed nine of 11 passes for 121 yards and one touchdown while adding 44 yards on 10 carries, but the dual-threat signal-caller appears to still be banged up after landing hard on his throwing shoulder late in the fourth quarter. Love appears to be making some progress through the NFL's concussion protocol and will join Willis as a limited participant at Tuesday's practice, but LaFleur noted that the presence of both quarterbacks on the field to begin Week 17 prep doesn't necessarily make him more confident that either or both will be available for this Saturday's game against the Ravens, per Zach Jacobson of 247Sports.com. LaFleur added that how Willis and Love progress as the week unfolds will determine the availability of both signal-callers for the weekend.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
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.
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.
A third-round pick in this year’s draft, Willis is a dual-threat QB with a rocket arm and elite speed for the position. It's because of those attributes that some pegged Willis as a first-rounder. He fell, though, because scouts questioned his inconsistent mechanics and processing issues, which led to inaccuracy (61.1 completion percentage) and interceptions (12) in his second of two seasons at Liberty. Willis will have time to refine those skills this season as the backup to Ryan Tannehill in Tennessee. If the rookie is forced into action, the outlook isn’t great. Not just because he needs time to develop, but because the Titans traded A.J. Brown and released Julio Jones and replaced them with Robert Woods (coming off an ACL tear), rookie Treylon Burks and TE Austin Hooper. Any hope for Year 1 fantasy value likely requires Tannehill missing time and Willis taking a bunch of carries in an extremely run-heavy offense.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be Week 17 starter
QBGreen Bay Packers
December 21, 2025
Willis could be called upon to start in Week 17 against the Ravens, as Packers coach Matt LaFleur confirmed Sunday that Love suffered a concussion during Saturday's loss to the Bears, per Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The Packers will be in action Saturday in Week 17, and Love would need to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in order to have a chance to play. If Love doesn't play, Willis would make his first start of the season and sixth regular-season start of his NFL career. Willis started three games for the Titans in 2022 and a pair for the Packers in 2024.
