Dolphins send QB Malik Willis to IR, Kyle McCord to start

The Dolphins placed quarterback Malik Willis on injured reserve, the team announced.

Willis has had a groin injury that has limited his mobility, and an MRI showed it developed into a core muscle injury, Tom Pelissero of The Ringer reports.

Fantasy Impact: 

Pelissero said the injury is not season-ending, according to the post. This obviously not a good situation for the Dolphins offense, and the race seems to be on for the first overall pick with some of the other teams. McCord is expected to start but has never played in a regular season game. Cook saw some time with the Jets last season and will be the QB2. It won't hurt to add McCord in the deepest of two QB or superflex leagues, and even dynasty leagues if he happens to be on your wire, but it's probably unfair to expect him to be a fantasy factor.
