Fantasy Football 2018: Top 10 waiver wire Week 15 pickups
Kenny Stills, WR, Miami Dolphins
Kenyan Drake scored the winning touchdown on a lateral play that gave the Miami Dolphins a shocking, season-saving win over the now 9-4 New England Patriots, but the Dolphins best player on offense was, once again, No. 1 wide receiver Kenny Stills.
It’s largely been a difficult season for Stills, who’s had to deal with injuries to starting quarterback Ryan Tannehill and to the pass-catchers around him. But when Tannehill and the Adam Gase-coached offense is clicking, Stills is usually the one who benefits the most.
Stills roasted the Patriots suspect defense, catching eight passes for 135 yards and a touchdown. He’s now caught a touchdown in back-to-back games, putting his season total up to six, and he looks like a good bet to score again when the Dolphins take on the talented-but-burnable Minnesota Vikings secondary in Week 15.
Every game is a must-win for both the Dolphins and Vikings, who are both fighting for Wild Card positions in their respective conferences. Miami must be riding high after their legendary win over the Patriots, and they’ll need to continue to feed Stills the football if they want a chance at postseason glory in 2019.
Although Stills has just 42 receiving yards this season, it looks like the supremely gifted 26-year-old may be heating up at the right time for both the Dolphins and fantasy owners.
