4. Kenny Stills, Miami Dolphins

The Miami Dolphins plan to use Kenny Stills a lot in 2016, and he is someone who is available in nearly all fantasy football leagues. The second-best receiver on the Dolphins is DeVante Parker, but he has been battling injuries as of late. Like Stills, Parker is very talented but he is very inconsistent.

The Dolphins are hoping this is the year that Stills becomes a star, and he is worth a flyer if you own Keenan Allen. He should slide right in to the Dolphins No. 2 option at the position, and has gained the trust of quarterback Ryan Tannehill. Miami also has a new head coach, who has installed a system perfect for Stills’ game.

Stills had a nice preseason, and he has put together solid production in the past. In 2014, Stills had nearly 1,000 yards receiving for the New Orleans Saints, so the talent is definitely there. Jarvis Landry is hands-down the best option for Miami, but Stills could be in for a big year as well.

The 2016 is a make or break season for Tannehill, and if he is going to be successful, Stills is going to have to produce. Gase is a great offensive mind, and he will utilize all the weapons he has, with Stills being a big one. Keenan Allen is going to be tough to replace, but if Stills is available, he could be very productive for you each week.
