The Saints receiver has excelled in his increased role. Is he worth the start in Week 17?
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Kenny Stills has become one of the cogs in the team's offensive game plan. Quarterback Drew Brees has looked for Stills often, which has helped Stills average 5.4 receptions for 83.6 yards per game over the last five weeks. Stills isn't much of a force in the end zone, with only three touchdowns on the year, but he has proven to be a good security blanket and a serviceable deep threat. Playing opposite the aged Marques Colston and a hobbled Jimmy Graham, Stills will remain heavily involved in the offense and should continue to see a healthy amount of targets.
Fantasy Impact: Stills has a juicy match up to look forward to in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Their defense gives up the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers. Stills didn't do much against Tampa back in Week 5 (1/16/0), but much of that was due to him playing behind rookie Brandin Cooks. Look for Stills to step in up this week and continue to provide fantasy owners with WR3 value.
