New Orleans Saints wide receiver Kenny Stills (quad) was able to practice in a limited fashion on Wednesday. Stills originally suffered the injury in the preseason and did not play in Week 1.

Fantasy Impact: Stills is a speedy, explosive wideout who can get down the field in a hurry, so that fact he’s dealing with a quad injury is worrisome. On the other hand, it’s great that he was able to practice on Wednesday.
Stills is definitely good enough to be a fourth or fifth receiver and occasional starter in most leagues, and with some big performances could even become a regular starter in deeper leagues as the season moves along.
The trouble with having a member of the Saints in a fantasy receiving corps is that outside of tight end Jimmy Graham, the ball gets spread out between the likes of Marques Colston, Brandin Cooks and others, so it's hard to choose a Saints starter every single week.
Fantasy owners can assume Stills will probably practice again on Thursday and his Week 2 availability should then become more clear. He can be added by owners in deep leagues who are adding guys based on potential to go off once in a while.
