Entering the offseason, Stills had a chance to be a staple in the offense for the Saints. That has all changed due to the breakout campaign being posted by 2014 first-round pick Brandin Cooks, who started out his career with a bang against the Atlanta Falcons last week by catching seven passes for 77 yards and one score in a loss. Cooks also created a ton of buzz at training camp.
Stills is likely just coming back as a deep threat and the Saints aren’t expected to play him many downs in his first game back. Additionally, they should be able to get a nice lead against the Browns, so they won’t be using too many four-wide sets.
Fantasy impact: Cooks' fantasy owners do not need to worry. He's already shown tremendous chemistry with quarterback Drew Brees and his arrow is pointing straight up from a value standpoint. He should be viewed as a solid WR2. Stills can be left on the wire in most leagues.
