If you think you can guess, week-to-week, which of the New Orleans Saints wide receivers will be most productive in a given game, you are better at this than anyone else has been so far. Sunday, it was Kenny Stills' turn to offer the most fantasy production, as he accounted for the Saints' lone touchdown in the team's 27-10 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

Stills had four catches on four targets Sunday for 32 yards and a score. Brandin Cooks had five catches for 50 yards, while Marques Colston had four for 56. The Saints have only gotten hundred-yard games from individual receivers three times all season (two from Colston, one from Stills), including two in Week 7 against the Detroit Lions.
Fantasy impact: The Saints have played 10 games this season. Colston has led the team in wide receiver fantasy production once, Cooks four times, Stills four, and Colston and Cooks tied once. The team has had six games of double-digit fantasy points out of its receivers, with Cooks getting three, Stills two and Colston one.
Ultimately, if you’re going to own one New Orleans wide receiver, it probably needs to be Cooks, but considering the unpredictability out of the trio, you’re better off finding a better option elsewhere.
