Stills had two excellent days, mostly on the receiving end of new quarterback Jay Cutler.
The ball exploded out of Cutler’s hand this week and Stills became a more frequent target.
“We’re getting better every day, so we’ve just got to continue to work before practice, in the meeting rooms, after practice, and get on the same page,” Stills said. “He’s a veteran guy and we’ve just got to go out there and make plays for him.”

He's in line to have his best season to date. That same thing could/should be said about Parker and Ajayi as well so this offense, even missing it's true leader, should be electric.

I think this is true...The only person not in line to have his best season is Landry. Tannehill didn't have great pocket pressence and would go to his safety valve to early. Cutlet is the exact opposite, and tends to throw deep more than he should witch should see a spike in Parker and Stills stats, and even Jay as it should keep the safeties back. Landry is going to have to find new ways to get targets.
 
I've been monitoring the practice reports concerning QB-WR chemistry. Hard to tell without seeing these guys in action in a real game, but the reports have led me to bump Parker above Landry in my fantasy draft rankings and Stills is fast approaching Landry. I see Cutler forcing it to Parker a lot and then throwing some deep balls to Stills to rack up his TD total.

This is exactly what I think will happen as well. Thomas will have a nice year also if he can stay on the field. The weapons this team has fit Cutlers style and likes really well.
 
The other big Offensive additions that nobody is talking about are Julius Thomas and Anthony Fasano. Last year Gase utilized Tight End Dion Sims occasionally, but now we have some serious weapons. I expect that Fasano is primarily here for his great blocking (he was the #1 blocking TE in the NFL last season) and the beneficiary of this will be Jay Ajayi. But we haven't had a serious TE seam threat for years and Gase has had success with Julius in Denver. In a recent press conference Gase was asked about Julius and his response was that he will be there when his number is called.
I recently read that Gase has a history of running 3 WRs on one side of the field and his TE on the other and mixing it up. How the Defense mans these plays tells him where to exploit. In Denver, Gase exploited the hell out of this play (far more frequently than any other team). With the early season ending injury to Jordan Cameron last year, Gase lost his athletic TE and was unable to fully exploit his favorite play. However, in Julius he now has a very big athletic target with big hands, who knows to run the designated routes and Cutler has the arm and the guts to throw it. Methinks he's going to get some opportunities.

Yeah thats what I was mentioning also. Its just a question of staying on the field for him. Outside of that I think he has a solid year. What is going to make this offense fun is the versatility it allows Gase. I mean he has every type of weapon you could ask for at his disposal. So lets just hope the line allows it all to mesh well together.

Agree w the spike in deep balls only if the line holds up in pass pro. If so Cutlet will have a good year; if not, he will turn it over (fumbles, bumbles and picks) more than Tannehill behind that line.
