Malik Willis vs Shedeur Sanders
Malik Willis holds a 47.4% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 9/15/2026
THE CASE FOR WILLIS
Willis has already seen NFL speed and the fantasy ceiling is tied to rushing if he ever gets starts. He’s older, but that also means fewer “development” excuses—either he earns a QB2 window or he’s a backup. The market still prices in a non-zero path to spot starts, which matters in Superflex. If you’re contending, those emergency weeks can be the difference between a win and a loss.
THE CASE FOR SANDERS
Sanders is the better dynasty bet because youth plus a rising market gives you outs even before he hits. If he earns a starting opportunity, his value can jump multiple tiers fast. The profile is more “hold and appreciate” than “must start now.” In rebuilds, you want the asset that can gain value without needing immediate points.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Contending: take Malik Willis for the higher probability of near-term usable starts and emergency SF utility.
Rebuilding: take Shedeur Sanders for the age, upside, and ascending value curve.
Not close in direction—Willis is a short-term contingency play, Sanders is the better long-term stash.
