I like the appeal of Stills getting single coverage every play resulting in some big time Fuller games because Hopkins is on the other side of the field. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Still trying to decide if Stills is worth a #1 waiver claim. If Fuller was out indefinitely there would be no hesitation from me but because of his injury history I'm tempted to pull the trigger of Stills. Anyone else out there considering using alot of FAAB or a high waiver claim on this guy? not sure if I’d put in a high waiver claim just yet, might be team and record dependent. FAAB cash - I’d be interested in the $10 region, which is about $5 more than id usually spend on a WR. Latest reports show Fuller as looking to miss some serious time, no actual timetable yet, but it’s week 7. I’m dropping Fuller this week. Stills is tied to an elite QB so that’s got to be worth something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mjb 808 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I’d think WR3 area until Fuller returns. I’m putting in a claim, arguably #1 worthy🤷♂️ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aapox 896 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I have Hopkins and little upside after him and kupp. I like hedging and having another big play WR. I’ll be bidding. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Evincar 1,686 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 He's a much better WR than Fuller. A must add. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm strongly considering using my #1 waiver on him. Maybe I'm missing something here but he's now the #2 WR who has an elite aggressive QB that loves to push the ball downfield. Hopkins draws #1 corner away from him always giving him favorable match-ups. Couple that with Stills amazing history catch efficiency and I'm struggling to think of what's not to like? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BGDDYKWL 1,130 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 He's a definite add but I wouldn't use a #1 waiver on him. But I would expect low-end WR2 numbers while Fuller is out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm thinking hard about using the #1 on him too. Unless AJG ever suits back up I'm weak at WR2 (metcalf/samuels) and Stills seems REALLY tempting. As someone mentioned earlier here, Coutee has issues staying on the field too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

StevenSC400 1,002 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 He’s a must add. He becomes the primary deep threat. One play away from catching a long TD every Watson throw. Why wouldn’t you want a piece of that action. Those worried about fuller returning this guy is never healthy. He’s almost a non factor. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Downside: Fuller returns soon (but guy has never been able to stay on the field and play 16 games). Target distribution--Hopkins eats everything and Stills gets only 3-5 targets a game? Look at Fuller's history and initial report. Rarely on hamstrings are initial reports ever worse than expected. Minimum Fuller is out 3-4 weeks, imo, but more likely to be 5-6. That's the final stretch of the regular season. Hopkins has been and will be the big target share guy, no doubt, but Stills has both his old role and Fullers to fill in for. I'd expect 5-9 targets with at least 2 deep shots a game. Considering Stills' track record and what he's shown so far in Houston I see him as a high end WR3 with boom potential but less bust potential. I'm basically thinking he's a slightly more dependable Will Fuller and his upside has me ready to bid somewhere in the $17-21 range, I think. I also have Hopkins so and my WR3s are not dependable so I like hedging a bit and getting the upside both players have. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've read a few expert reviews stating he should be a #3 WR going forward. Maybe it's just me but I think Stills is being underrated. He wouldn't necessarily be a weekly starter for me but regardless I LOVE him as an excellent depth piece and a player I don't want landing on someone else's team. Another poster said he wouldn't use the #1 claim on him. To me it's close on burning it. I don't know where you're going to find a better situation with a WR playing a full-time role with an elite QB with an elite WR drawing away #1 corners every week this late in the season. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm playing against a WR needy team and he gets OAKLAND this week. 100 and a TD coming right up on a silver platter and if not, well it was still a better chance than not to get it. I also agree that more than ever, Watson has shown he can make reads and spread the ball around. That's why Fuller and the TEs have been a lot more involved. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Watson is perhaps the most aggressive deep-shot throwing QB in the league. I didn't see the last game but Stills got two-40 yard chunk plays. Like someone else said. It appears Watson and Stills have developed a strong passing rapport. I'm optimistic Stills is being underrated by most experts and he's currently flying under the radar.

He's just more of a complete receiver and the target tree there is a little thinner. That gives you (us) a barometer of Stills value right now. MJ was drafted in all leagues I know of. To get Stills this late in the season and be considered on par with MJ indicates he has good to great potential ROS. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just discussing this in the Fuller thread... I can't see having both on your roster outside of really deep leagues. I am likely putting in a claim on him dropping Fuller. I am concerned about playoff time if they are both healthy though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hamstring injuries can linger on and given that it's a significant injury, even if he does come back a few weeks later, the chances of reaggravation will be too high. Not worth the headache.

theSPANKER 2,165 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 With trades going down today and more likely to happen, does anyone know if the Texans are shopping for another WR? I like Stills outlook going forward but I'm out if they bring in someone else. Think it's a good question to ask, with some of us looking to pick him up. We want to be careful to avoid losing FAAB or waste a waiver claim. Any rumors or chatter? Or nothing to worry about here? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They already have a really good/deep WR group so a trade doesn't really make much sense, and there's no free agent available right now (except for AB I guess lol) who is good enough to really eat into stills/coutee's targets. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BGDDYKWL 1,130 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I know Fuller is very injury prone but the reason Stills isn't worth the #1 waiver is Fuller will be back, likely just before fantasy playoffs. So you're burning your #1 for a low-end WR2 for potentially only three games (bye week 10). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
