Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 9: Kenny Stills

The rookie receiver is coming off his best game. Can he keep it going Sunday? We break down the fantasy implications.

Chris Graythen

New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Kenny Stills had a huge game a week ago, hauling in three passes for 129 yards and two touchdowns in the Saints' 35-17 win against the Buffalo Bills. He looks to keep that hot production going Sunday as the team takes on the New York Jets.

Through the first five weeks of the season, Stills had only seven receptions for 134 yards and no scores, including two games without any targets. In his last two games, though, Stills has three scores and 193 total yards.

Fantasy impact: Stills' two touchdowns came on long passes (69 and 42 yards) Sunday, on plays that aren't necessarily reliably repeatable. It also came with tight end Jimmy Graham banged up, meaning quarterback Drew Brees didn't have his favorite toy to throw to nearly as often.

Stills is one of several Saints weapons; in addition to Graham, the team has Lance Moore, Marques Colston, Darren Sproles, and Pierre Thomas catching passes as well. The end result of the crowded situation is that it's tough to predict which player or players will go off in any given game. Stills is a fine low-end option for those who are desperate, but shouldn't be counted on for another huge game.
