SAINTS SHIP WR STILLS TO MIAMI Friday, March 13, 2015
The Miami Dolphins acquired wide receiver Kenny Stills from the New Orleans Saints for linebacker Dannell Ellerbe and a third-round draft pick in 2015.
What does it give the Miami Dolphins?
In Stills, the Dolphins land a solid receiver who should help replace the departed Hartline quite nicely. He will probably line up on the outside opposite Wallace (assuming the latter remains in Miami), with second-year man Landry playing the role of slot receiver. Stills is just 22 years old, so he has plenty of untapped upside.
What does it give the New Orleans Saints?
For the Saints, the purge continues. New Orleans is changing their team quite a bit this off-season, with the appearance of shifting from a pass-happy squad to more of a run-oriented offense. With veteran Brees at the helm, that may not be the case. Landing a third rounder and versatile veteran linebacker for Stills continues the team's facelift.
Fantasy Impact
Stills goes from Brees to Tannehill as his quarterback, and he goes from indoors (Mercedes-Benz Superdome) to outside (Sun Life Stadium), so his fantasy fortunes are in slight decline following this deal. His departure could mean more receptions for Toon in New Orleans, though.
