Malik Willis serves as the Miami Dolphins' unquestioned starting quarterback in 2026 after signing a three-year deal and receiving explicit confirmation from head coach Jeff Hafley that he remains the starter following an 0-5 start and Week 6 bye. Through five games he has thrown just two passing touchdowns against four interceptions while completing 56.2% of 130 attempts for 849 yards and a 68.4 passer rating, hampered by a thin receiving group led by Malik Washington, an offensive line allowing frequent pressure, and the season-long absence of running back De'Von Achane. Willis has added value on the ground with 186 rushing yards and two scores, but the passing attack has produced minimal red-zone efficiency and big plays. With 12 games remaining and the Dolphins facing a challenging schedule, trader consensus reflects limited passing touchdown upside absent marked improvement in supporting cast execution and decision-making.
