Wild Card Round at Pittsburgh
Stills makes for an interesting salary-saving play Wild Card Weekend against the Steelers. He's scored in five consecutive games, more importantly in each game Matt Moore has started. 4for4's IDP expert Mike Woellert agrees: Artie Burns has been one of the weak links in Pittsburgh’s secondary. Burns has spent 80 percent of his snaps on the right side, which puts him on Kenny Stills’ side of the field. Burns is the opposing QBs target on nearly 20 percent of their throws." Stills is a worth-while flier in a game the Dolphins could have to go pass heavy in the 2nd half, as 10-point underdogs.
Week 17 vs. New England
All Kenny Stills does is score touchdowns. He's done it in three straight weeks and scored earlier this season against the Patriots. His role as a deep threat though makes him a boom-or-big bust option each week, needing to hit on a long play to be worthwhile. It's too risky in Week 17 to start him.
Week 16 at Buffalo
Kenny Stills has a touchdown in three of his past four games and four of his past six. The problem is he's needed those scores to make up for an utter lack of yardage production. Stills did post 5-100-1 against Buffalo Week 7, but how lucky do you feel Week 16 of fantasy championships? He's probably nothing more than a contrarian DFS GPP play this week, with Matt Moore at QB.
Week 15 at New York Jets
Kenny Stills is playing enough snaps to be a fun contrarian GPP play some weeks in DFS, but his inconsistency renders him far too risky to use in your traditional fantasy postseason. You just don't know which week he's going to catch a deep ball, and with Matt Moore starting Week 15? No thank you.
Week 14 vs. Arizona
When Landry and Parker are active, Stills is not a fantasy option in the Dolphins offense. Keep him out of your lineups Week 14.
Week 13 at Baltimore
With DeVante Parker doubtful for Week 13, Kenny Stills could be a sneaky start in Week 13. In three games where Parker has played fewer than 80% of snaps, Stills has averaged 3.0-62.7-0.67 on 6.3 targets per game. His deep threat ability could help him be a desperation FLEX play in Week 13 if Parker is out.
Week 12 vs. San Francisco
Kenny Stills faces the 49ers this week in a great match-up, but he's now third in the pecking order behind Landry and Parker. If you play him, you are hoping to get lucky on a deep ball. There not much else you can expect, and he probably shouldn't even be owned in your league.
Week 11 at Los Angeles
DeVante Parker's return from injury (with 100 yards last week) relegates Stills to waiver wire status. He's not a starting option in Week 11.
Week 10 at San Diego
If DeVante Parker is out, Stills becomes an interesting play in deep leagues; however, the risk probably isn't worth it in Week 10. Stills only played 21% of snaps last week (illness), but did go over 100 yards with a touchdown on 90% snaps Week 7 before the bye. He's not a starting lineup consideration given the Dolphins deploy all their receivers.
Week 9 vs. New York Jets
Stills checks in just inside our top-40 WRs for Week 9, as he's a dart throw against a bad Jets secondary. His eight targets in his last game against Buffalo matched a season-high, but we still have yet to see Stills string two games together in a row. However, his 93 percent of snaps were far more than DeVante Parker's 67 percent of snaps in that game. If that continues, Stills could become relevant down the stretch in deep leagues.
