Malik Willis vs Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough holds a 45.3% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 9/24/2026
THE CASE FOR WILLIS
Willis has shown real NFL athleticism and rushing upside, which is the fastest path to spike-week fantasy value if he ever lands a spot start. He’s a known commodity in terms of archetype: if he’s on the field, he can buoy a QB2 week with legs even if the passing is shaky. At a cheaper SF cost, he’s the kind of bench stash that can flip for profit the moment injuries force him into action.
THE CASE FOR SHOUGH
Shough’s higher SF price reflects a cleaner projection to functional NFL passing if he gets a real shot, with enough mobility to add small weekly floor. He’s closer to the “back-end starter/quality QB2” profile than the pure gadget/spot-start profile, which matters in Superflex lineup stability. If he’s one injury away from starts in NO, that access to starts is what wins the bet in SF formats.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Take Tyler Shough for the higher probability of usable starts and fewer “unplayable” outcomes in Superflex.
Take Malik Willis if you want the cheaper, more volatile chip that can pop on a start and be sold, otherwise Shough if you’re prioritizing hit-rate over cost.
Not close at a 32.8% gap—Shough’s start-probability edge generally justifies the premium in SF.
