28. Malik Willis, Miami Dolphins
I am still struggling with why the Miami Dolphins signed Malik Willis in the first place. I understand that the Dolphins did need a starting QB, but why did they approach it this way? Willis tossed 128 passing yards and had an interception in a 10-point home loss to Detroit. The Dolphins did not get into the endzone, and Willis continues to play like one of the worst starters in football, period.
We did see some solid starts as a backup QB in previous seasons, but at least for the 2026 season, Willis isn’t going to amount to much at all. It’s just a really tough situation for any QB to succeed in, as the Dolphins have not had De’Von Achane for weeks now, and Willis is already someone who has a ton of limitations at the position.
He’s going to continue coming in low in our QB power rankings, and I am not sure there is any avenue for him to start to heat up. He’s simply not good enough and there is not enough roster talent for that to happen.
27. Daniel Jones, Indianapolis Colts
Folks, the Indianapolis Colts are a bad team, and Daniel Jones has reverted back to how he was always playing before his 2025 season. The Colts lost in Week 9 to Dallas and keep losing, so much that the team could still trade multiple players before the trade deadline, which is on Tuesday at 4 PM, Eastern Standard Time.
Jones now has six passing touchdowns this year against 10 interceptions. He is only completing 60.3 percent of his passes and is just a flat-out unplayable QB at the moment. The Colts probably have plans to move on from him following the 2026 season, and why wouldn’t they?
This is a really struggling franchise that doubled down on inconsistent players in the offseason, Jones being one of them. Yes, the first-half breakout we saw from Jones and the Colts in 2025 was absolutely valid, but it’s clear now that it was nothing more than some outlier football.
Jones is going to be a QB who settles into a backup role for a little bit, and he’ll play well in that role, but we are probably at a point in time where his time as a starter in the NFL is coming to an end.
Jones continues to tumble in our power rankings.
