With Brandin Cooks on injured reserve and Marques Colston under-performing, it appears that Kenny Stills is embracing his role on the New Orleans Saints' offense. In Week 13, Stills caught five passes for 162 yards and a touchdown against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Stills led Saints receivers in every possible category.

Stills was coming off a game against the Baltimore Ravens where he caught eight passes for 98 yards. With Jimmy Graham constantly drawing the attention of opposing defenses, Stills appears to be a promising talent down the stretch as the Saints look to stay afloat in the NFC South.
Fantasy impact: Stills is owned in less than half of fantasy leagues and should see that number rise heading into Week 14. Many assumed Colston would benefit from the absence of Cooks, but Stills seems to be the clear-cut beneficiary up to this point.
What makes Stills even more appealing is the stretch of soft defenses he'll face during the fantasy playoffs. After the Carolina Panthers in Week 14, Stills will go up against the Chicago Bears and Atlanta Falcons.
