Fantasy Upside
The Dolphins re-signed Kenny Stills, indicating he is a priority for their passing game. Combine that with not giving Jarvis Landry an extension this preseason, and Stills seems to be more in Miami's long-term plans. Stills is a home run threat. His 17.3 yards per reception ranked third behind only DeSean Jackson and Chris Hogan. His nine touchdowns were also tied for sixth in the league.
Fantasy Downside
Regression alert! Kenny Stills caught only 42 passes on 81 targets for those 9 touchdowns. 4for4's TJ Hernandez researched year-to-year statistical correlations for WRs on the same team in consecutive seasons and found that targets per game and receiving yards per game had the highest correlation. Receiving touchdowns and touchdown rate were among the lowest. That's not a good sign for Stills.
2017 Bottom Line
Stills could be worth the flier in best-ball leagues with his home run capabilities. However, in redraft leagues where week-to-week consistency matters, Stills projects for far more weekly downside than upside in a run heavy offense.
