  • Healthy scratch Week 13

    Miller (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Miller has played in each of the Steelers' last two games after missing three games due to a broken finger. He's been used sparingly in the offense since his return and won't take the field Sunday, which opens the door for Ke'Shawn Williams and Ben Skowronek to see more work on offense. Miller's next chance to play is Week 14 against the Ravens on Sunday, Dec. 7.

  • Past finger injury

    Miller (finger) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Miller missed the Steelers' last three games while recovering from surgery to repair a broken finger. He was a full participant to open Week 11 prep, which puts the veteran wide receiver on track to play against the Bengals on Sunday. Miller was used sparsely on offense prior to his injury, logging one catch (on two targets) for nine yards across six regular-season games.

  • Missing third straight game

    Miller (finger) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Miller continues to recover from a procedure to repair a broken finger and will miss a third straight game as a result. He hasn't been able to practice since the surgery, and his next opportunity to play is Week 11 against the Bengals on Sunday, Nov. 16.

    Miller (finger) did not participate at practice Thursday, but he did go through individual drills.

    Analysis: Miller has yet to return to practice as he continues to work his way back from a broken finger, but his ability to work off to the side on his own is a step in the right direction. The wide receiver will have one more chance to practice before Sunday night's matchup with the Chargers.

  • Still working through finger injury

    Miller (finger) did not practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Miller has missed the Steelers' last two games while recovering from surgery to repair a broken finger.

  • Another DNP on Thursday

    Miller (finger) remained a non-participant at Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Miller has been a non-participant in each of the Steelers' first two practices of Week 9, suggesting he's likely to miss a second consecutive game Sunday against the Colts due to a broken finger. Miller will have one more chance to practice in any capacity Friday.

  • Doesn't practice Wednesday

    Miller (finger) did not practice Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Miller broke his finger in practice during the Steelers' Week 8 prep, which prevented him from playing against the Packers on Sunday. He would have to return to practice in at least a limited capacity over the next two days in order to have a chance at playing in Week 9 against the Colts. Ben Skowronek (neck) will continue to see additional snaps at wide receiver for as long as Miller is sidelined.

  • On mend from finger surgery

    Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Miller recently had his broken finger repaired, but how "functional" the wideout is during practice this week will determine whether he plays Sunday against the Colts, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Miller appeared to sustain the injury during practice last week, as he was a limited participant Thursday before sitting out Friday's session and then getting ruled out ahead of Sunday's loss to the Packers. The 28-year-old had suited up in each of the Steelers' first six games but had seen only light snaps on offense, totaling just one reception for nine yards on two targets.

  • Won't play Sunday

    Miller (finger) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Packers, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The Bowling Green product downgraded from a limited practice session Thursday to a DNP on Friday, so it's no surprise that he'll be unavailable Sunday night. Miller has played 69 offensive snaps through six games this season, catching one of two targets for nine yards. While he's sidelined in Week 8, Ben Skowronek could get more opportunities as a receiver.

  • Dealing with finger injury

    Miller was a limited participant in Thursday's practice due to a finger injury, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: The injury appears to be a new issue for Miller, as he wasn't listed on Wednesday's practice report. His participation in Friday's practice will provide more clarity on his chances of playing against the Packers on Sunday. The 2019 sixth-rounder has served in a depth role at wide receiver this season, so a Week 8 absence would open the door to a slight uptick in offensive snaps for Ben Skowronek and Ke'Shawn Williams.

  • Logs one reception Thursday

    Miller secured his lone target for nine yards during Thursday's 33-31 loss to Cincinnati.

    Analysis: Miller was on the field for just eight offensive snaps Thursday after logging double-digit snaps in each of the team's last two games, but he still recorded his first reception of the season in the loss. Even though Calvin Austin (shoulder) remained sidelined for a second consecutive game Thursday, most of the Steelers' passing game flowed through DK Metcalf, Jaylen Warren and the team's three tight ends, leaving minimal work for Miller and the rest of the team's wide receivers.

  • Fails to draw target in Week 6

    Miller didn't draw a target while playing 26 of the Steelers' 59 snaps on offense in Sunday's 23-9 win over the Browns.

    Analysis: Miller has been active for all five of Pittsburgh's games to date but has yet to record a reception and has drawn just one target. The 26 snaps he played Week 6 were a season-high total and ranked second among Steelers wideouts, but Miller was unable to capitalize on the increased time on the field.

  • Effective in exhibition victory

    Miller secured all three of his targets for 82 yards during the Steelers' 19-10 preseason win over Carolina on Thursday.

    Analysis: Miller capped off an impressive preseason Thursday, as he recorded at least 38 receiving yards in each of his three appearances. In total, he secured all nine of his targets for 167 yards. Although the Steelers rested Aaron Rodgers and DK Metcalf throughout the preseason, it's possible that Miller's production earns him some playing time once the regular season gets underway, especially if the team doesn't acquire another receiver.

  • Productive in preseason opener

    Miller secured all four of his targets for 47 yards during Saturday's 31-25 preseason win over the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Miller had a limited role over 13 regular-season appearances with Pittsburgh last year, securing five of nine targets for 69 yards. However, he had a strong showing during Saturday's preseason opener, tying for the team lead in targets and receptions while recording the second-highest yardage total among the team's receivers. The Steelers lost George Pickens during the offseason but acquired DK Metcalf, so Miller will likely continue to have limited upside in 2025.

  • Re-signs with Pittsburgh

    The Steelers are re-signing Miller on a one-year contract Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Miller appeared in 13 regular-season games with Pittsburgh in 2024, securing five of nine targets for 69 yards. He also contributed on special teams and spent time on the practice squad. He'll spend the offseason competing for a similar depth role with the team.

  • Reverts to practice squad

    Miller reverted to the Steelers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Analysis: Miller was not active for Saturday's wild-card game against the Ravens despite being elevated to the 53-man roster. The 2019 sixth-round pick appeared in 13 regular-season games for the Steelers and logged five catches (on nine targets) for 69 yards. Miller will explore his options during the offseason and will look to join a team in need of depth at wide receiver.

    Miller (coach's decision) is inactive for Saturday's wild-card game against the Ravens, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Miller was elevated from the Steelers' practice squad to the active roster earlier Saturday, but the veteran wideout will observe the contest in street clothes. He would have a chance to play in the divisional round should the Steelers take care of business Saturday.

    Analysis: Miller was waived by Pittsburgh on Thursday, but he was re-signed to the practice squad two days later and was subsequently elevated to the active roster. The veteran wide receiver played in 13 regular-season contests for the Steelers this season, tallying five catches on nine targets for 69 yards. Miller should continue serving in a depth wideout role in Saturday's wild-card contest against Baltimore with the Steelers' receiver corps in good health.

He finished the regular season with five catches (on nine targets) for 69 yards across 13 games.

  • Tallies 38 receiving yards

    Miller secured three of four targets for 38 yards during Sunday's 27-14 win over the Browns.

    Analysis: Miller didn't see the field in either of Pittsburgh's last two games, but he played 52 percent of the team's offensive snaps Sunday since George Pickens (hamstring) was inactive. Miller recorded his first catches since Week 3, but it seems unlikely that he'll maintain a role once Pickens is back to full health.

    Analysis: Miller played just 14 of the Steelers' 67 offensive snaps Sunday, operating as the No. 4 receiver behind George Pickens, Van Jefferson and Calvin Austin. The veteran wideout has now failed to record a target in five out of six games so far in 2024. Miller should be ignored for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 7 matchup against the Jets.

    Miller secured both of his targets for 31 yards during Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: Miller wasn't targeted over the first two weeks of the regular season, but his snap count increased against the Chargers, as he was on the field for 37 offensive snaps after playing no more than 17 in either of his first two appearances of the season. Although the 2019 sixth-rounder had an encouraging performance in Sunday's win, it appears as though he'll have an inconsistent role in the Steelers' offense this year.

Miller made a solid first impression during Friday's preseason opener, as he tied for the team lead in receptions and finished second in receiving yards, fueled by a 38-yard catch to begin the fourth quarter.

  • Scores twice in 2023

    Miller finished 2023 with 11 receptions for 161 yards and two touchdowns across 17 appearances.

    Analysis: After four years in Tampa Bay, Miller signed a one-year deal to join the Falcons last offseason. It took the speedster until Week 5 to record his first catch with Atlanta, and despite carving out a role after that, he posted modest production, totaling nine catches (14 targets) for 95 yards from Weeks 5 to 17. Miller flashed in the season finale, catching both of his targets for a season-high 66 yards, but it wasn't enough to salvage his fantasy campaign. Miller is one of a handful of Falcons…read more

    Analysis: Miller played a season-low seven offensive snaps but caught his first pass since Week 12. From Weeks 5-12, Miller caught seven of eight targets for 76 yards and two scores, but outside of that stretch, he has secured just two of six targets for 19 yards.

    Miller played 18 of 72 snaps on offense in Sunday's 29-25 loss to the Buccaneers and failed to haul in any of his three targets.

    Analysis: Facing off against his former team for the second time in his career, Miller was unable to capitalize on either of his targets deep downfield and was also unable to connect with quarterback Desmond Ridder on a short look in the fourth quarter.

    Miller caught one of two targets for four yards during Sunday's 24-16 loss to the Commanders.

    Analysis: The Falcons were surprisingly pass-happy against Washington, which allowed Miller to play a season-high 28 offensive snaps. His production was still muted, so he doesn't have much fantasy value for the moment. However, he is a player to keep an eye on, as he appears to be closing in on the No. 2 wideout role currently occupied by Mack Hollins. Hollins has seen fewer snaps over the last two weeks while Miller's role has increased, but it'll be difficult for either player to carve out strong…read more

    Miller caught both of his targets for 10 yards during Sunday's 21-19 win over the Texans.

    Analysis: Miller played a season-high 18 offensive snaps and garnered his first two targets of the campaign. The speedster hasn't been able to get free for a big play yet, but he remains a steady piece of the gameplan and has played double-digit offensive snaps in three straight weeks. While Miller's role is growing, it's difficult for fantasy managers to trust any Falcons pass catcher on a consistent basis.

  • No targets in season opener

    Miller played 17 snaps (10 offensive) and didn't record a target in Sunday's win over the Panthers, but he registered one solo tackle. He also returned one punt for four yards.

    Analysis: Miller signed this offseason to replace Damiere Byrd as Atlanta's top deep threat, but as expected, it'll be difficult for the speedster to garner many targets playing in a run-heavy offense that also features three former first-round picks at skill positions. While he was a non-factor on offense, Miller did some good things on special teams and split punt-return duties with Dee Alford.

However, while the Falcons sat out all their main starters in the team's preseason opener, Miller actually saw brief action and caught his only pass from third-string QB Logan Woodside on the opening drive.

  • Headed to Atlanta

    Miller agreed to a one-year deal with the Falcons on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The 2019 sixth-rounder finished up the 2022 season with 23 catches on 40 targets for 185 yards in 15 games with the Buccaneers, working in a wide receiver corps that also included Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Russell Gage and Julio Jones. Prior to his addition, Atlanta's top WR options were Drake London and Mack Hollins. As the team's depth chart currently stands, Miller should see an uptick in volume in 2023 given the Falcons' clear need to bolster their pass-catching unit.

  • Quiet finish to season

    Miller didn't log a target over six snaps from scrimmage during the Buccaneers' 31-14 wild-card loss to the Cowboys on Monday night. He finished the 2022 regular season with 23 receptions (40 targets) for 185 yards and no touchdowns and one rush attempt for eight yards across 15 games.

    Analysis: The end to Miller's season -- and likely finish to his Buccaneers tenure as well -- was fittingly quiet. Factoring in Monday's blanking, the fourth-year speedster recorded just two receptions for 15 yards on six targets over his final eight games. Miller was also inactive for two games during the campaign, and as an unrestricted free agent, it appears he's likely headed elsewhere in 2023.

    Miller secured one of two targets for eight yards in the Buccaneers' 30-17 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.

    Analysis: Miller logged 21 snaps from scrimmage, his highest tally since Week 9, as the Buccaneers pulled most starters before halftime. However, while the speedster recorded his first reception since Week 13, Miller still saw minimal action and is likely to be a virtual non-factor on offense during next Monday night's wild-card matchup against the Cowboys.

    Miller did not see any snaps on offense during the Buccaneers' 30-24 win over the Panthers in Week 17.

    Analysis: The fourth-year speedster hasn't recorded a catch since Week 13 and has logged just four targets overall since that contest, but Week 17 marked the first 2022 game in which he's enjoyed active status yet failed to log a snap from scrimmage. However, Miller could bounce right back with a solid allotment of playing time in Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Falcons, considering the Buccaneers are likely to afford reserves such as Miller more snaps than usual as the game unfolds.

  • Blanked on stat sheet Sunday

    Miller failed to bring in his only target over four snaps on offense during the Buccaneers' 19-16 win overtime win against the Cardinals on Sunday night.

    Analysis: Miller's minimal role was par for the course during the stretch run of the season, as the speedster has seen 15 snaps or fewer in the last six games while recording just three receptions for 32 yards in that span. With the Buccaneers' top four wide receivers available, Miller continues to project for sparse usage on offense over the remaining two games of the regular season.

    Analysis: Miller was in on just 15 snaps, which represented a 19 percent share of the Buccaneers' offensive plays. The speedy reserve wideout is likely due for similar low-volume games the rest of the way as long as Julio Jones and Russell Gage are both healthy as the No. 3 and No. 4 receivers ahead of him.

    Miller went without a target while playing two of the Buccaneers' 66 snaps on offense in Sunday's 23-17 overtime loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: Russell Gage (hamstring) was inactive for the fourth straight game due to injury, but since all of Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Julio Jones have been available during that stretch, Miller hasn't been able to carve out much of a role on offense. Whenever Gage is cleared to return to game action, Miller and/or Breshad Perriman could end up being healthy inactives.

  • Pair of receptions in Week 10 win

    Miller brought in both his targets for 25 yards in the Buccaneers' 21-16 win over the Seahawks on Sunday.

    Analysis: Miller continued to hold down a serviceable role in the offense as the No. 4 receiver, and although he logged four fewer snaps than Breshad Perriman, he was the only one of the two to see any targets. Miller has produced four consecutive multi-catch games, but his upside is still limited as long as Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Julio Jones are healthy in front of him.

  • Season-high seven catches

    Miller caught seven of eight targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Rams.

    Analysis: The fourth-year receiver posted his best numbers of the season as Russell Gage (hamstring) was inactive and Julio Jones was ineffective. Miller's role in a deep receiving corps is erratic and largely dependent on the health of the players ahead of him on the depth chart, making him a risky option in Week 10 when the Buccaneers head to Germany to face the Seahawks.

    Miller brought in both targets for 13 yards in the Buccaneers' 27-22 loss to the Ravens on Thursday night.

    Analysis: Miller recorded his second straight two-catch effort, which, while not exactly noteworthy, at least gives him a semblance of relevance in a struggling offense. Miller has four multi-catch efforts overall this season and logged 19 snaps Thursday night, and while he might be a slightly better fringe Buccaneers fantasy option than Breshad Perriman, he's still unlikely to gain any true relevance unless multiple injuries strike the receiving corps.

  • Records pair of grabs in loss

    Miller secured both targets for six yards in the Buccaneers' 21-3 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

    Analysis: The speedster's pair of receptions represented a slight bump in involvement after he logged just two snaps without a target Week 6, but his yardage total made his contributions negligible. Miller played on just eight snaps overall, and he's likely to remain a non-factor unless multiple injuries strike the Buccaneers' receivers.

The fourth-year speedster's prospects of even making the final roster appeared somewhat grim in the preseason, but Miller thus far has contributed in two of the three games he's been called upon, with a combined 7-69-0 line on 15 targets between Weeks 2 and 5.

    Miller brought in just one of five targets for four yards in the Buccaneers' 14-12 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Miller played 52 offensive snaps with the Buccaneers down three receivers, yet as his final line shows, he largely squandered the opportunity. The Bowling Green product brings plenty of speed to the table, but with just a 9-76 line on 22 targets over his last 11 regular-season games, Miller hasn't made a case for a bigger role when the team's receiving corps gets back to full strength.

  • Back to full practice

    Miller (calf) practiced fully Thursday.

    Analysis: The Buccaneers' receiving corps seems poised to be depleted again Sunday versus the Packers, as Mike Evans will sit out due to a one-game suspension, Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Julio Jones (knee) have yet to practice this week, and Russell Gage (hamstring) and Breshad Perriman (knee) were limited again Thursday. Miller didn't take advantage of his eight targets Week 2 at New Orleans, turning them into three catches for 34 yards while taking one carry for eight yards. Still, he could earn a…read more

  • Bothered by calf

    Miller was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a calf injury.

    Analysis: Russell Gage (hamstring) and Breshad Perriman (knee) also were limited, while Julio Jones (knee) and Chris Godwin (hamstring) didn't practice and Mike Evans is suspended for Week 3. It thus remains unclear who will see targets from Tom Brady this Sunday against Green Bay, but the early outlook hints at Miller being involved even if he has a minor calf injury.

  • Three grabs in Week 2 win

    Miller brought in three of eight targets for 34 yards and rushed once for eight yards in the Buccaneers' 20-10 win over the Saints on Sunday.

    Analysis: Miller garnered active status with both Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Julio Jones (knee) sidelined, and the speedster played a total of 29 snaps from scrimmage (43 percent). While there wasn't much efficiency evident in Miller's line, his numbers qualify as serviceable on a day when Tom Brady threw for only 190 yards. The Bowling Green product could be back to inactive status for a Week 3 home showdown with the Packers if either/both of Godwin or Jones are available for that contest.

  • Inactive Sunday

    Miller is inactive for Sunday night's season opener against the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Miller is the odd man out in Week 1, with Tampa Bay's top wide receivers Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Russell Gage and Julio Jones all in uniform Sunday night. He's off the fantasy radar until or unless injuries hit the aforementioned quartet.

  • Nabs roster spot

    Miller was included on the Buccaneers' initial 53-man roster Tuesday over Tyler Johnson, who was waived, the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Johnson had a far better preseason showing than Miller, but ultimately, the fourth-year pro from Bowling Green survived final cuts while the former has already been claimed off waivers by the Texans. Miller currently slots in as the No. 6 receiver, but it's conceivable that he could play at least a minor role in the offense over the course of the season, given his downfield speed.

  • Falls flat in preseason finale

    Miller brought in one of two targets for minus-1 yard in the Buccaneers' 27-10 preseason loss to the Colts on Saturday night.

    Analysis: Miller logged 17 snaps from scrimmage overall, but as his final line indicates, he didn't do anything to help his already dwindling case for a roster spot. Miller certainly has his fair share of favorable history with the Buccaneers, but considering the team's depth at receiver and the emergence of Tyler Johnson along with some other young wideouts it may spell the end of the line for the Bowling Green product.

  • Trending toward losing spot?

    Miller, who secured one of three targets for 15 yards in the Buccaneers' 13-3 preseason loss to the Titans on Saturday night, may be in danger of losing his roster spot, Joey Knight of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Analysis: The speedy Bowling Green product was shut out in the exhibition opener and then not only did little Saturday night, but he also squandered a key opportunity. Knight notes Miller didn't hang on to what may have been Kyle Trask's best throw of the night, a deep pass down the right sideline late in the second quarter. The fourth-year pro's one grab did come on a third-and-6 situation, but with undrafted free agent Deven Thompkins putting together another solid effort Saturday and also capable of…read more

  • Empty stat line in opener

    Miller failed to bring in his only target in the Buccaneers' 26-24 preseason loss to the Dolphins on Saturday night.

    Analysis: Miller notably came up empty on a night where several of his fellow competitors for a depth receiver role put some strong play on film. The Bowling Green product does have a respectable body of work from prior seasons to rely on to an extent, but he'll certainly need to show a lot more in his ongoing bid for a roster spot during next Saturday night's road preseason battle against the Titans.

  • Feeling healthy at training camp

    Miller, who dealt with a nagging turf toe injury most of 2021, has felt healthy through his first 10 training camp practices and has been given an opportunity to "do a lot of different things" thus far, Andrew Crane of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Analysis: Miller hasn't yet had much of a chance to run slot and option routes at the NFL level despite thriving in those at Bowling Green, but Buccaneers coaches are apparently giving him a bit more free rein this summer. Miller also has taken some reps as a kickoff returner and apparently is completely healed from the hamstring injury that prevented him from participating in minicamp, leaving him well-positioned for the heated battle with the likes of Breshad Perriman (leg), Cyril Grayson and Tyler…read more

  • Four grabs in season-ending loss

    Miller brought in four of six targets for 38 yards during the Buccaneers' 30-27 loss to the Rams in their NFC divisional-round matchup Sunday.

    Analysis: Kept in proverbial mothballs for most of the regular season, Miller was due for a bump in volume Sunday with fellow downfield threats Cyril Grayson (hamstring) and Breshad Perriman (hip) out of action. The extra opportunity did come his way in the form of a season-high target tally, and the in-game ribs injury suffered by Tyler Johnson also played a part in Miller's enhanced involvement. With a mostly forgettable 2021 now behind him, the Bowling Green product will look to carve out a more…read more

  • Minor role in playoff opener

    Miller brought in his only target for eight yards and rushed once for nine yards during the Buccaneers' 31-15 win over the Eagles in an NFC wild-card matchup Sunday.

    Analysis: Miller made a splash Week 18 against the Panthers with 43 rushing yards and a score on the ground, but he was back to a minimal role Sunday, even with fellow downfield threat Cyril Grayson (hamstring) out of action. The Bowling Green product is likely to be relegated to a similarly modest level of involvement in Sunday's divisional-round matchup against the Rams.

  • Takes advantage of opportunity

    Miller secured his only target for nine yards and rushed twice for 43 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 41-17 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

    Analysis: The third-year speedster had been an afterthought in the offense over the last several weeks, but he was able to finally make an impact on the final Sunday of the regular season. Miller used his elite wheels on a fourth-quarter end-around that saw him speed up the right side of the field and then tightrope the sideline to get just over the pylon for the score. Miller saw all of nine targets in nine games this season, but considering the depleted nature of Tampa Bay's receiving corps heading…read more

  • No time on offense in win

    Miller was active but did not log a snap from scrimmage in the Buccaneers' 28-24 win over the Jets on Sunday, seeing the field on only four special-teams plays.

    Analysis: Miller's status as a non-participant in the offense only further solidifies how far he's apparently fallen in the wideout hierarchy for the Buccaneers. Tampa Bay will be down yet another pass catcher once Antonio Brown is eventually cut, but it remains to be seen if that development will actually translate to any meaningful action for Miller, even in the Week 18 finale versus the Panthers.

  • No grabs in win

    Miller failed to come up with his only target in the Buccaneers' 32-6 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Miller was potentially in line for an expanded role with Mike Evans (hamstring), Breshad Perriman (reserve/COVID-19) and Chris Godwin (IR-knee) out of action, but the speedster logged all of three snaps from scrimmage. Meanwhile, Cyril Grayson (53 snaps) and Tyler Johnson (36 snaps) far outpaced him, although the latter didn't see a target. With Evans having been placed in the COVID-19 protocols Monday, there's a chance he misses a Week 17 matchup against the Jets as well, but Perriman's likely…read more

  • Pair of catches in shutout loss

    Miller brought in two of three targets for 18 yards in the Buccaneers' 9-0 loss to the Saints on Sunday night.

    Analysis: After serving as a healthy scratch Week 14 against the Bills, Miller was back in uniform Sunday night, and his availability was timely. Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (knee) both exited the contest early, leading to a modest amount of volume for Miller. The Bowling Green product could be even busier over the last three games of the regular season, considering Godwin is out for the remainder of the campaign due to a torn ACL, and Evans could miss the Week 16 contest against the Panthers.

  • Inactive Week 14

    Miller (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The third-year wideout has been active the last two games after a seven-game stint on injured reserve due to a turf toe issue, but he logged all of seven snaps from scrimmage over that pair of contests. Miller won't be in on any plays Sunday, with the likes of Breshad Perriman and Tyler Johnson set to serve as the primary complementary options behind the top wideout duo of Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.

  • Limited to four snaps again

    Miller did not log any targets across four targets in the Buccaneers' 30-17 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

    Analysis: Miller once again saw a minimal role on offense in his second game back from injured reserve and was the No. 5 receiver in terms of playing time. The speedster's outlook doesn't figure to brighten much for the foreseeable future, despite Antonio Brown (suspension/ankle) set to miss at least the next two games.

  • Four offensive snaps in return

    Miller (toe) failed to bring in his only target during Sunday's 38-31 win over the Colts, a game that marked his return from injured reserve. He also recovered a fumble.

    Analysis: The speedster was eased back into action with four snaps from scrimmage and another four on special teams. Miller should be primed to see an uptick in playing time in coming games, although once Antonio Brown (ankle) returns to action, the Bowling Green product will likely have an unpredictable week-to-week target share.

    Coach Bruce Arians said Friday that he'll wait until Sunday to decide if Miller is active for a 1:00 p.m. ET matchup with the Colts, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Miller was activated from IR on Tuesday, potentially setting up his first appearance since Week 3. He might even be the Bucs' No. 3 receiver -- or at least get some of those snaps -- with Antonio Brown (ankle) out for a fifth straight game and Tyler Johnson averaging 26.5 YPG in his absence.

    Analysis: Miller wasn't able to make enough progress in his recovery from a turf toe injury to suit up in an eventual 30-10 win over the Giants on Monday, but the speedy wideout looks like he'll be ready to put an end to his seven-game absence this weekend in Indianapolis. With the status of Antonio Brown (ankle) still in flux heading into the Week 12 matchup, Miller could challenge Tyler Johnson for the No. 3 receiver role behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.

    Analysis: Miller was designated to return from injured reserve in early November, and time is running out for him to be reinstated to the active roster. The 24-year-old will need to be activated later this week, or he'll remain on injured reserve for the rest of the season.

    Miller (toe) won't be activated from injured reserve prior to Sunday's game against Washington, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Coach Bruce Arians recently expressed optimism that Miller would be able to suit up against Washington, but the receiver will miss at least one more game due to turf toe. He resumed practicing Nov. 2, so it appears somewhat likely that he'll return to game action for the team's Week 11 matchup against the Giants on Nov. 22.

    Analysis: Miller has been held out of action since Week 3 due to a turf toe injury, but he was cleared to resume practicing Nov. 2. With Chris Godwin (foot) considered a game-time decision and Antonio Brown (ankle) still looking uncertain, Miller could have a chance to immediately step into a key role on offense if he's able to retake the field Sunday.

Elsewhere in the receiving corps, Antonio Brown is dealing with a sprain near his heel and has missed three of eight games so far this season. While Brown also may return after the bye, Miller still could have a role on offense behind starters Mike Evans and Chris Godwin upon being active again.

    Analysis: Miller's move to IR means he'll be sidelined for at least three weeks after he was diagnosed with turf toe following Sunday's loss to the Rams. After filling a depth role for the Bucs' first two games of the season, Miller occupied a regular spot in three-receiver sets Week 3 as a replacement for Antonio Brown (illness), who wasn't available after testing positive for COVID-19.

  • Set to miss time

    The Buccaneers may place Miller on injured reserve due to a turf toe injury, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: With Antonio Brown (illness) and Jaydon Mickens (abdomen) sidelined Sunday against the Rams, Miller was poised for an expanded workload, which came to pass. After combining for 20 snaps on offense in the first two games of the season, Miller bumped up to 32 (of 73) in Week 3, resulting in two catches (on three targets) for 11 yards. Now that Miller is set to miss multiple games, Tyler Johnson could receive more run in the short term depending on how soon Brown can get through COVID-19 protocols.

  • Dealing with turf toe

    Coach Bruce Arians said Monday that Miller is dealing with a pretty severe case of turf toe, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Miller caught two of his three targets for 11 yards during Sunday's 34-24 loss to the Rams. The 24-year-old was expected to play a bigger role in Week 3 with Antonio Brown on the COVID-19 list, and while he did see an uptick in snaps, Miller's production left fantasy owners wanting more. Brown is likely to return this week, so Miller may be relegated to his bench role even if he is able to shake his turf toe ahead of Week 4.

  • Expanded Week 3 role likely

    Miller, who didn't draw a target on 12 offensive snaps in the Buccaneers' Week 2 win over the Falcons, could be set for a bigger role in Week 3 against the Rams after Antonio Brown was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

    Analysis: Brown still has an outside chance at being able to take the field Sunday; the veteran wideout is believed to be vaccinated and therefore will only need to produce two negative COVID-19 tests 24 hours apart in order to be cleared. Absent that development, however, Miller would likely bump up to Brown's No. 3 role, with Tyler Johnson serving as the No. 4 option or perhaps even rotating in with Miller on occasion.

  • No stats in opener

    Miller played just eight snaps on offense and did not see a target during the Buccaneers' 31-29 win over the Cowboys on Thursday night.

    Analysis: Targets were expected to be scarce for any receivers not named Mike Evans, Chris Godwin or Antonio Brown, and that proved true in Week 1. The speedy Miller will almost assuredly be looked for on some deep routes as the season unfolds, but as long as the top trio is healthy, the Bowling Green product's week-to-week production will be inconsistent at best.

With Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Antonio Brown embedded as the team's top three WRs, though, Miller will be vying with Tyler Johnson and perhaps rookie Jaelon Darden for the few targets that linger from Tom Brady.

While it doesn't seem like the injury is anything other than minor considering the third-year wideout returned to the game, a healthy Miller still is facing the very real possibility of losing snaps and targets this season to Tyler Johnson and even rookie Jaelon Darden if he doesn't perform any better than he showed this preseason.

    Miller secured two of three targets for minus-1 yard in the Buccaneers' 34-3 preseason loss to the Titans on Saturday night.

However, Miller made a solid Year 2 leap during the regular season in the form of a 33-501-3 line over 480 offensive plays, and he followed it up with four receptions for 80 yards and a touchdown over the Buccaneers' first three postseason games.

Miller logged just eight snaps from scrimmage against the Saints in Sunday's divisional-round win even with Brown on the sidelines for most of the second half, but his one catch, which went for 29 yards, exemplified the downfield dimension he brings to Tampa Bay's passing game.

    Analysis: Miller played his usual abbreviated role in the victory, but his one catch served as the Buccaneers' longest gain from scrimmage during the contest. The second-year speedster could be set for an elevated role in Sunday's NFC Championship Game versus the Packers if Antonio Brown (knee) is limited or forced to sit out.

Miller will continue to be a hit-or-miss option in next Sunday's divisional-round matchup versus the Saints, as the top trio of Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Antonio Brown figure to continue commanding the majority of Brady's attention.

Miller did enjoy a much healthier and productive campaign than his 2019 rookie season, setting new career highs in receptions (33), receiving yards (501) and touchdowns (three) while playing all 16 games.

The second-year speedster has zero or one catch in six of his last seven games, with his only fantasy-relevant accomplishment of note during that span a 48-yard touchdown grab in Week 14 versus the Vikings.

    Analysis: The speedy reserve receiver showed up on the stat sheet for the second straight week, although Sunday's serviceable output didn't have anywhere near the fantasy flair of Miller's 48-yard touchdown grab that constituted his Week 14 contribution. The Bowling Green product remains firmly near the bottom of the wideout depth chart on the talent-rich Bucs, so even his occasional spikes in production aren't enough to make him a desirable option outside of very deep formats.

    Miller failed to bring in his only target in the Buccaneers' 27-24 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

    Analysis: He continued to find action hard to come by in Sunday's loss, which marked his fourth straight game with one or zero catches. Miller logged just 10 snaps overall, and his modest level of involvement isn't likely to increase coming out of the Bucs' Week 13 bye as long as the top three members of the receiving corps remain healthy.

  • Not targeted in loss

    Miller didn't receive a target in Monday's 27-24 loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: Miller logged just 15 snaps on offense as he continues to fall out of favor in the Buccaneers' offense following the signing of Antonio Brown. Over three games with Brown on board, Miller has caught just two passes for 14 yards on four targets. The 23-year-old had some splash games before Brown entered the picture, so fantasy managers should keep him in mind in case off-field issues affect Brown's availability this season.

  • Limited to one grab in win

    Miller brought in his only target for four yards in the Buccaneers' 46-23 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

    Analysis: With the receiving corps at full health, Miller understandably struggled to garner Tom Brady's attention in the blowout win. The second-year speedster now has just two receptions for 14 yards on four targets in the two games he's played since Antonio Brown usurped him for the No. 3 wideout role, a worrisome sign for Miller's fantasy prospects moving forward.

  • Ready for Sunday

    Miller (hip/groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Carolina, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Analysis: The 23-year-old was limited at practice the first two days of the week, but he put in a full session Friday to avoid the questionable tag. Miller played a season-low 19 offensive snaps last week against the Saints and figures to see similar usage while Chris Godwin, Mike Evans and Antonio Brown remain healthy.

  • Logs limited showing Thursday

    Miller (hip/groin) was a limited practice participant Thursday.

    Analysis: Miller has been a regular presence on Buccaneers injury reports this season, but he's still managed to suit up for all nine games. Unfortunately for Miller, he took a back seat to Antonio Brown in the veteran's debut with the team this past Sunday versus the Saints, accounting for one catch (on three targets) for 10 yards on a 38-percent share of the offensive snaps. Miller may have irregular opportunities moving forward if Tampa Bay's receiving corps remains healthy.

    Miller (hip/groin) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Analysis: Miller has been managing the two injuries for a good portion of the season, but he has yet to miss a game. The fact that he's beginning the week as a practice participant in any capacity bodes well for Miller's chances of playing Sunday in Carolina, but his fantasy utility has taken a major hit with the Buccaneers' addition of Antonio Brown. With Brown, Chris Godwin and Mike Evans all available during last week's loss to the Saints, Miller was limited to a 38 percent offensive snap share, his…read more

  • Minimal role in defeat

    Miller secured one of three targets for 10 yards in the Buccaneers' 38-3 loss to the Saints on Sunday night.

    Analysis: Miller was one of multiple Bucs players to turn in lackluster fantasy performances in the lopsided loss. The speedster essentially worked as the No. 4 wideout with Antonio Brown active for his first game with the team, and the extent of Miller's workload Sunday could be more or less par for the course on many weeks moving forward as long as Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Brown remain healthy in front of him.

    Miller (hip/groin) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Saints, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The Buccaneers cleared Miller for the Week 9 matchup after he was able to practice fully Friday. The second-year wideout has drawn 15 targets between the past two games, but he'll likely take a back seat in the passing game over the second half of the season with Antonio Brown set to make his team debut Sunday.

    Analysis: Miller was also limited in Wednesday's session, so as long as he's able to practice again in some capacity Friday, he should be ready to go for Sunday's game against the Saints. However, after drawing a combined 15 targets over the Buccaneers' past two contests, Miller is a prime candidate to see his role in the passing game tail off in the second half of the season.

With Chris Godwin's status up in the air due to a fractured finger and Antonio Brown set to make his Bucs debut this weekend, it'll be interesting to see what kind of role Miller can expect moving forward.

    Miller secured three of six targets for 35 yards and rushed once for seven yards in the Buccaneers' 25-23 win over the Giants on Monday night.

    Analysis: He somewhat surprisingly played a secondary role with Chris Godwin (finger) out and Antonio Brown (suspension) not yet available. checking in third in targets and receptions behind Mike Evans and Jaydon Mickens. Miller did log a solid 53 snaps (76.0 percent), trailing only Evans among Tampa Bay's wideouts.

The results have been inconsistent, but he's combined for 12 receptions (on 18 targets) for 198 yards and two touchdowns during that span.

Miller also logged his highest target count of the season, and he's posted at least 83 receiving yards in three of his past four games.

  • Avoids Week 7 injury designation

    Miller (hip/groin) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Raiders.

    Analysis: Miller was never able to upgrade from limited participation in practices Wednesday through Friday, but the Buccaneers are apparently convinced that neither the hip nor the groin issue will keep him from taking the field this weekend. With none of the Buccaneers' receivers or tight ends taking injury designations into the weekend, Miller will likely be limited to a supporting role in the passing game.

    Analysis: Miller is one of three Buccaneers receivers who has been limited in the team's first two practices of Week 7, as Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Mike Evans (ankle) have also had their reps managed. Despite being limited in every practice last week, Miller still approached Sunday's win over the Packers without an injury designation, finishing with one reception for six yards on two targets.

    Analysis: Miller impressed to begin the season, surpassing 70 receiving yards three times in the first four games. Since then, though, he's totaled one catch (on two targets) for six yards over the last two contests. With Mike Evans (ankle) and Chris Godwin (hamstring) kicking off this week as limited participants, the Buccaneers have some question marks at the top of the receiver depth chart. Still, if both suit up Sunday in Las Vegas, Miller will have a tough path to meaningful target volume.

    Miller secured one of two targets for six yards in the Buccaneers' 38-10 win over the Packers on Sunday.

    Analysis: The speedster couldn't produce much in the way of a bounce-back effort after being blanked altogether in the Week 5 loss to the Bears, making it a second straight disappointing week for his fantasy managers. It was suspected that Miller's production was going to fluctuate week to week whenever the Bucs had their full complement of pass catchers available, and that was essentially the case Sunday with the exception of O.J.

In the two games all three have been active this season, Miller totaled eight catches (on 11 targets) for 156 yards.

The development was an interesting one, as Miller was expected to fill in as Godwin's replacement in the slot, an assignment that proved fruitful Week 4 (5-83-1 line on seven targets).

    Analysis: Among the Buccaneers' top four wide receivers, Miller was the only to manage at least some limited activity in practice this week. The team ruled out Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Justin Watson (chest), while Mike Evans (ankle) also is questionable. As a result, Miller should be poised for another significant workload Thursday, assuming he's active.

Among those four, Godwin is in the greatest danger of not suiting up Thursday in Chicago, which would leave slot duties up for grabs.

The usage has translated to seven catches (on nine targets) for 84 yards and no touchdowns. Now, Miller is dealing with an injury of his own, but at least he's been able to manage some activity in both sessions this week.

    Analysis: Miller got more run than expected Weeks 1 and 2, with the latter game coinciding with Chris Godwin's absence due to a concussion. Godwin cleared the protocol for head injuries as of Monday, so it'll be interesting to see if Miller can continue to receive 60-to-70 percent of the Buccaneers' offensive snaps. To date, Miller has hauled in seven of nine targets for 84 yards, but Godwin's return and Miller's own hip and groin issues could result in a decreased workload Week 3 in Denver.

    Analysis: Expectations were elevated for Miller following his impressive 6-73 line through the air in Week 1 and in the confirmed absence of fellow wideout Chris Godwin (concussion). However, the second-year wideout ultimately turned in a dud from a fantasy perspective, as Mike Evans and fellow complementary receiver Justin Watson accounted for 152 of Tom Brady's 217 passing yards.

  • Solid involvement in Week 1 loss

    Miller secured five of six targets for 73 yards and rushed once for six yards in the Buccaneers' 34-23 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

    Analysis: New quarterback Tom Brady and Miller had displayed excellent chemistry throughout training camp, and that seemed to carry over well into the duo's first taste of game action. Miller logged a team-high 37-yard reception among his five catches, and he checked in just below Chris Godwin and his 6-79 line in the Buccaneers' pass-catching corps. The speedy second-year wideout also appeared to benefit from the fact Mike Evans was frequently blanketed by nemesis Marshon Lattimore, and that talented…read more

  • Possible Week 1 snaps boost

    Miller could be one of the primary beneficiaries if Mike Evans (hamstring) is forced to miss the Week 1 divisional clash against the Saints, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Analysis: Miller is listed as Chris Godwin's backup on the first edition of the unofficial depth chart, but given his elite speed and his stellar training camp, it's likely Miller would at least modestly out-snap Justin Watson as the No. 3 receiver most weeks if the pass-catching corps is at full health. However, if Evans, who appears headed for a game-time decision, does sit Sunday's opener out, Watson is likelier to start, but Miller could certainly benefit in the form of an overall boost in snaps.

  • Likely primary third receiver

    Miller, who consistently impressed throughout training camp, is listed alongside Justin Watson as the primary backups to starting receivers Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Who officially serves as the No. 3 receiver is difficult to ascertain before the games begin, and it's possible Miller and Watson often rotate the role. However, given Miller's elite speed and instant chemistry with Tom Brady this summer, it isn't difficult to imagine he could see a greater share of snaps than Watson, who also had a solid camp but didn't quite match Miller's performances.

  • Constantly making plays

    Miller has been able to keep up his early-camp momentum by regularly making plays in practices, and he hauled in a 55-yard bomb from Tom Brady in Friday's scrimmage at Raymond James Stadium, Carmen Vitali of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: The second-year speedster's name seemingly comes up in every training camp wrap-up, as Miller has quickly developed an impressive rapport with Brady and has been able to make plays on a number of different routes and depths of target. That was on display again in Friday's scrimmage, with Miller recording a 20-yard grab in the earlier portion of the simulated game and then subsequently bringing in the deep throw on a post route later in the session. The 23-year-old may have already locked in the…read more

  • Wowing in early practices

    Miller's speed and hands have already stood out over multiple training camp practices, Carmen Vitali of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: The second-year wideout is in the thick of the No. 3 receiver job battle with the likes of Justin Watson and rookie fifth-round pick Tyler Johnson, and he's making a strong early case for himself. Vitali noted Miller caught a perfect pass from Tom Brady in stride and also exploded up the field after taking a lateral from the legendary quarterback in Friday's practice. Meanwhile, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports Miller -- as opposed to other Buccaneers pass-catching luminaries such as…read more

  • Bulks up this offseason

    Miller put on 10 pounds of muscle this offseason and "looks great" according to coach Bruce Arians, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: The speedster could use the bulk in order to better withstand the rigors of the NFL, especially after playing his rookie season at approximately 175 pounds. Miller is though to be a leading contender for the No. 3 receiver job after generating a 13-200-1 line in 2019, and his 4.3 speed would make him much more than a prototypical shifty slot wideout that gets by with short-area quickness. A bit of extra size could make Miller even more effective if it doesn't slow him down, but he'll have to…read more

  • Leading candidate for No. 3 role?

    Miller may be the favorite to open the season in the No. 3 receiver role, Scott Smith and Carmen Vitali of the team's official website report.

    Analysis: Both Smith and Vitali cite Miller's experience edge in the offense as the reason why he's likelier than fifth-round pick Tyler Johnson to open the regular season directly under Chris Godwin and Mike Evans on the depth chart. In an offseason devoid of on-field work until late July, it's reasonable to assume Johnson will be somewhat behind the curve in terms of mastering coach Bruce Arians' offense, likely postponing his potential ascension into the third receiver role until later in the season.…read more

  • Runs routes with Brady

    Miller (hamstring) was one of several Buccaneers skill-position players to work out with Tom Brady at Berkeley Preparatory School on Tuesday, Rick Stroud and Joey Knight of the Tampa Bay Times report.

    Analysis: Miller's participation in the workout, which was apparently organized and coordinated by Brady, is reason for optimism on a couple of fronts. One, it's encouraging the second-year receiver is apparently recovered enough from the hamstring injury that cut short his 2019 season to run routes at this point. Additionally, any on-field time Miller can spend with Brady in the absence of normal OTAs is naturally beneficial, as the speedy receiver will be vying to secure the No. 3 wideout job this…read more

  • Faces competition from draft pick

    Miller (hamstring), who is expected to compete for the No. 3 receiver job vacated by the departed Breshad Perriman, could face competition from 2020 fifth-round pick Tyler Johnson.

    Analysis: Miller's impressive wheels presumably give him a leg up on both Johnson and third-year wideout Justin Watson in terms of making up for the loss of speed brought about by Perriman's exit in free agency. However, if last season is any indication, coach Bruce Arians will get creative with any receiver spots behind starters Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, potentially operating a timeshare of sorts at the No. 3 slot depending on formations, defensive matchups and other factors. Miller will have to…read more

  • Vying for No. 3 job

    Miller (hamstring) is a strong candidate for the Buccaneers' No. 3 wideout spot in the wake of Breshad Perriman's departure, Scott Reynolds of PewterReport.com reports. "I don't like to look at numbers (on the depth chart) and necessarily go for specific spots," Miller said. "But obviously, with B.P. going to the Jets that spot is open and I'm going to want to be on the field as much as possible next year..."

    Analysis: A combination of limited salary cap room and a lack of prominent receivers on the open market opens up a fairly sizable path to the No. 3. job for Miller, who displayed flashes of his talent during his rookie season before seeing it cut short due to a hamstring injury in Week 15. Miller's final 2019 line was a modest 13-200-1 over 10 games, but he posted multi-catch efforts in three of his last four contests. The speedy Bowling Green product is naturally excited about the prospect of catching…read more

  • Season comes to end

    Miller (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Like Miller, Mike Evans and Chris Godwin are dealing with hamstring injuries that leave their status for the rest of the season in peril, but the Buccaneers were more willing to take a wait-and-see approach with their top two wideouts rather than the rookie. As a result, Miller's inaugural NFL season will come to a premature end, with the 22-year-old finishing the campaign with 13 catches for 200 yards and a touchdown across 10 appearances. The Buccaneers signed Cyril Grayson from the Cowboys'…read more

    Miller (hamstring) isn't participating in Tuesday's practice, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Analysis: The severity of the hamstring injury Miller suffered in last weekend's win over the Lions isn't yet known, but the fact that he required an MRI on Monday signals at least some level of concern. All of Miller, Chris Godwin and Mike Evans look at risk of sitting out Saturday's game against the Texans with hamstring injuries, a development that would leave Tampa Bay's wideout corps perilously thin. The Buccaneers will see if Miller can return to practice in some fashion over the next two days…read more

  • Set to have MRI

    Miller (hamstring) will undergo an MRI on Monday, Jenna Laine of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Miller aggravated his hamstring injury in the first half of Sunday's game against Detroit, and he was unable to return to the contest. The additional testing should reveal the severity of Miller's injury, but he's trending in the wrong direction on a shortened week, as the team takes on Houston on Saturday. Chris Godwin (hamstring) also left Sunday's game, and Mike Evans (hamstring) is expected to be done for the year. At the time of this report, the Bucs have just three healthy wideouts.

  • Won't return Sunday

    Miller (hamstring) is ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest in Detroit.

    Analysis: Miller exited the Week 15 contest in the first half after seemingly aggravating a hamstring injury he's battled since early August. The rookie caught all three of his targets for 49 yards and one touchdown before leaving the field. In Miller's stead, Justin Watson and Ishmael Hyman could see increased work behind Chris Godwin and Breshad Perriman.

  • Injures hamstring Sunday

    Miller sustained a hamstring injury during Sunday's game at Detroit, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Miller has tended to a hamstring issue since early August, missing time in the preseason and the Buccaneers' two games prior to this one. The team cleared him for action after he put in a full practice Thursday, only for Miller to seemingly aggravate the injury Sunday. Before his exit, he hauled in all three targets for 49 yards and one touchdown. With Mike Evans (foot) sidelined, the receiving corps is down to Chris Godwin, Breshad Perriman, Justin Watson and Ishmael Hyman.

  • Upgrades to full practice

    Miller (hamstring) upgraded to full practice participation Thursday, Carmen Vitali of the Buccaneers' official website reports.

    Analysis: Held out for the past two weeks, Miller now appears healthy at an opportune time, with Mike Evans (hamstring) in danger of missing the final three weeks of the season. Miller had been working as the No. 4 receiver prior to his own hamstring injury, ahead of Justin Watson but behind Breshad Perriman. With Watson coming off a 5-59-1 receiving line in last week's win over Indianapolis, it isn't quite clear if Miller will have a significant role on offense Week 15.

    Miller (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Miller missed the last two games due to the hamstring injury, but his return to practice is a good sign for Week 15. The 22-year-old likely will need to advance to full practice participation by Friday to avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game at Detroit.

    Miller (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Colts, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Miller's absence for a second straight game could leave a few extra snaps available for No. 3 receiver Breshad Perriman, who responded to the same scenario last week with season highs for both receptions (five) and yards (87). Meanwhile, Justin Watson should get a bit of run as the No. 4 receiver, though he played just 15 percent of snaps on offense in the Week 13 win over Jacksonville.

On a potentially positive note, he worked out on the side Thursday, per Greg Auman of The Athletic. No matter, the Buccaneers may ruled Miller out for a second consecutive contest when they post their final Week 14 practice report Friday.

    Miller (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Jacksonville, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Miller had been cutting into Breshad Perriman's workload of late, drawing 10 targets over the past three weeks. It isn't clear if Miller's absence will free up more work for Perriman or create an opportunity for Justin Watson to take more snaps. Either way, Miller's absence isn't a huge loss for quarterback Jameis Winston.

    Analysis: Miller managed to practice in a limited capacity to begin the week, but he's now been downgraded to a non-participant.

    Analysis: Miller looks to have suffered a hamstring issue during the Week 12 win over the Falcons.

  • Pair of touches from scrimmage

    Miller lost two yards on his only carry and secured his only target for eight yards in the Buccaneers' 35-22 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

    Analysis: Miller was riding some modest momentum coming into Sunday's contest, having posted a combined 6-104-0 line over the prior two games. While the rookie was unable to continue his ascent versus the Falcons, he encouragingly continued to enjoy a secondary role on the offense. Miller will look to coax his production back up against the Jaguars in a Week 13 interconference battle.

    Miller hauled in four of six targets for 71 yards in the Buccaneers' 34-17 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

    Analysis: Miller appears to have a chance to turn into one of the bright spots of what is shaping up as a considerably disappointing season for the Buccaneers. The rookie has now put together a 6-104-0 line on nine targets over his last two games, as he appears to be gaining the trust of the coaching staff, and Jameis Winston in particular. Miller is establishing himself as a downfield threat in the process and could even be on his way to unseating Breshad Perriman for the No. 3 role with more…read more

    Miller secured two of three targets for 33 yards in the Buccaneers' 30-27 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

    Analysis: Miller bounced back from a pair of blankings on the stat sheet in Weeks 8 and 9 to post his fourth and fifth catches of the season. Miller has now seen at least one target in six consecutive games, but his production remains hard to trust as the Buccaneers' No. 4 receiver. The rookie will look to build on Sunday's performance against the Saints in Week 11.

  • Comes up empty again

    Miller failed to come up with either of his two targets in the Buccaneers' 40-34 overtime loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

    Analysis: Not factored in that stat line is a touchdown pass Miller caught in the third quarter that was called off due to the rookie receiver having stepped out of bounds before securing the ball. Miller had a modest spike in production in Week 6 against the Panthers with the first three receptions of his career, but he's failed to come up with any of the three subsequent targets that have come his way over the last two games.
