Kenny Stills-WR-New Orleans (9.9%)

In case you missed it, the Saints fell at home for the third straight game but stayed in the hunt for their woeful division after their loss to the Ravens on Monday Night Football.  One of the things worth noticing in the Saints loss was how they adjusted to life without their leading wide receiver Brandin Cooks who is out for the season.  The main beneficiary was second-year reciever Kenny Stills who was on our list last week due to his potential to fill this role.

He was targeted nine times last night by Drew Brees with only TE Jimmy Graham drawing more throws.  Stills converted eight of those nine passes into catches while falling just two yards short of 100-yard game.  Both his eight catches and 98 yards were  tops on the team.

Look for Stills to continue to get plenty of passes thrown his way, and he does have the speed to convert those touches into fantasy-relevant numbers. Despite their 4-7 record, the Saints continue to battle for a playoff spot this week as they travel to Pittsburgh to face the Steelers coming off their bye week. After that game, Stills schedule coming down the stretch gets even better with soft secondaries all the way to the finish line as he faces the Panthers, Bears, Falcons, and Bucs to close the year.
