If Willis Misses Time
Next man up: Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord is next on the Dolphins depth chart at quarterback. In superflex leagues he's worth a speculative bench spot for Willis managers; in 1QB leagues he's a waiver add only if Willis misses time.
Who else it affects
A quarterback change matters most for Malik Washington and Greg Dulcich, his two most-targeted pass catchers this season.
