New HC Adam Gase 'definitely' wants to get WR Kenny Stills more involved

Only six active NFL players have a higher career yards-per-catch average than Kenny Stills (16.5), and Dolphins coach Adam Gase said he “definitely” wants to get him involved more after he was targeted just 63 times last season (compared with 165 for Jarvis Landry).

Stills says that excites him and “the numbers don’t lie” about Gase’s offenses.

But the chemistry must improve with Ryan Tannehill. Though a bunch of Stills’ targets were difficult deep routes (and that must be taken into account with this stat), he caught only 42.8 percent of passes thrown to him, compared to 70.4 for Rishard Matthews (now with Tennessee), 66.7 for Landry, 50.9 for DeVante Parker and 50 for Jordan Cameron.

Stills had only two drops last season, so many of the incomplete passes were errant throws by Tannehill. Gase has been impressed with Stills so far this offseason.

Fantasy Impact: 

With Jarvis Landry and DeVante Parker very likely to lead the team in targets, Stills is battling with TE Jordan Cameron and rookie WR Leonte Carroo to be the third option in the passing game.

Tannehill: 'Sky is the limit' for Dolphins WR DeVante Parker

“I think it was really frustrating, especially early on, just dealing with the foot injury and having a repeat of it,” Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill said of WR DeVante Parker. “I think you saw – the last six to eight games of the year – his confidence start to build. He made more and more plays it seemed like as the weeks went on.

“He got more comfortable and more confident and was attacking the football. He’s starting at that point now. We can build from where he is at now, and the sky is the limit for him.”

That doesn’t mean he’ll immediately develop in to a star receiver.

Parker has been solid, not dominant, in early offseason practices. Cornerback Bryon Maxwell, acquired in a March trade, has been the star so far — and sometimes at the expense of Parker.

Fantasy Impact: 

For the final six games of his rookie season, Parker played at a 59-1187-8 pace, which are solid WR2 numbers. He’ll likely play the “X” receiver in Adam Gase’s offense, a position which has yielded 6.0-90-0.44 from Alshon Jeffery and 6.9-101-0.69 from Demaryius Thomas over the past two seasons. The former 1st round pick has a big green arrow next to his name heading into the 2016 season.

Dolphins WR Rishard Matthews (ribs, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 17. Matthews says he does not expect to play this week, which means more snaps for DeVante Parker.

There are a lot of dark clouds hanging over the Miami Dolphins organization. The team needs to find a new coach for 2016. It probably also will be searching for a new general manager and at least a dozen new players following a needed offseason housecleaning.

But there has been one bright spot in Miami's horrendous season: young receivers Jarvis Landry and, of late, DeVante Parker have excelled. They combined for 11 catches and 204 yards in Sunday's 18-12 loss to the Indianapolis Colts.

The Dolphins dropped to 5-10, which at this point doesn't matter much. These final games are more about evaluating the team for the future than watching the standings.

Fantasy Impact: 

Miami drafted Landry in the second round in 2014, and he has quickly become one of its best and most dependable players. He led the team with seven receptions for 111 yards Sunday and also became the first player in franchise history to notch 100 receptions and 1,000 receiving yards in the same season. Parker was picked 14th overall in this year's draft. He was expected to make an immediate impact but summer foot surgery set him back, and once he got on the field he got off to a slow start. But an injury to former starter Rishard Matthews opened the door for more playing time, and Parker has taken advantage.
