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.

Won't play Week 12
Miller (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday night's game against Cleveland.
Analysis: Miller played eight snaps (seven on offense, one on special teams) during the Steelers' 18-16 win over the Ravens this past Sunday, but he did not register a stat in that contest. He'll be a healthy inactive for Thursday's game, and his next chance to play will be Week 13 against the Bengals on Sunday, Dec. 1.

Healthy scratch for Week 10
Miller (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Dale Lolley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Analysis: With Mike Williams making his Steelers debut Sunday and Ben Skowronek back from injured reserve, Miller will be a healthy scratch for the first time this year. Miller has failed to register a catch since Week 3 against the Chargers, during which he caught two passes for 31 yards.

No targets against Raiders
Miller failed to record a single target in Sunday's 32-13 win over the Raiders.
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.

Logs two receptions in Week 3
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.

Tallies three receptions in loss
Miller secured three of four targets for 47 yards during Friday's 20-12 preseason loss to the Texans.
Analysis: Miller joined the Steelers on a one-year deal in May and is competing for a depth role at wide receiver after the team lost Diontae Johnson, Allen Robinson and Miles Boykin during the offseason. 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. The 2019 sixth-rounder appeared in all 17 regular-season games during his lone season in…read more

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

Catches one pass
Miller caught his only target for 15 yards during Sunday's 29-10 win over the Colts.
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.

Goes catchless on three targets
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. During his time in Tampa Bay, the speedy Miller occasionally showed the ability to rip of big chunks of yardage while he was on the receiving end of deep targets from Jameis Winston or Tom Brady, but he's delivered just one splash play -- a 46-yard…read more

Non-factor in loss
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

Catches first pass of 2023
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.

Makes cameo appearance Friday
Miller caught his only target for nine yards in Friday's preseason win over the Dolphins.
Analysis: After four seasons in Tampa Bay, Miller signed a one-year deal with Atlanta in the spring and was thought to be set as the No. 3 wideout behind Drake London and Mack Hollins. 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. He may not be as secure in his spot as was previously assumed, but unless another receiver makes a strong push in…read more

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.

One catch in Week 18 loss
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.

Limited to special teams Week 17
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.

Fails to bring in only target
Miller failed to bring in his only target during the Buccaneers' 35-7 loss to the 49ers in Week 14.
Analysis: Miller logged 11 snaps on offense (17 percent) but failed to crack the stat sheet for the second time in the last three games. Miller is unlikely to have any relevance during the fantasy postseason unless multiple injuries strike in front of him at receiver.

Minimal role in Week 13
Miller secured one of two targets for seven yards in the Buccaneers' 17-16 win over the Saints on Monday night.
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.

Limited use Week 12
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.

Another two catches Thursday
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.

Reemerges with four catches
Miller secured four of seven targets for 35 yards in the Buccaneers' 21-15 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
Analysis: Miller logged his second-highest snap tally of the season (35) and made good use of it, posting season highs in receptions and receiving yards. 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 (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Kansas City.

Does little with opportunity
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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Meanwhile, Cyril Grayson (53 snaps) and Tyler Johnson (36 snaps) far outpaced him, although the latter didn't see a target.

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.

May be active this week
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.

Back from IR
Miller (toe) was reinstated from injured reserve Tuesday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
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.

Miller (toe) wasn't activated off injured reserve ahead of Monday's game against the Giants, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
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.

Won't return in Week 10
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.

Chance for Week 10 return
Coach Bruce Arians said Friday that Miller (toe) has a chance to suit up for Sunday's game against Washington, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
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.

The Buccaneers designated Miller (toe) for return from injured reserve Tuesday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Miller has been sidelined since Week 3 due to a turf toe injury, but with his 21-day window open to return to the active roster there's a chance he'll be back following Tampa Bay's Week 9 bye. 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.

Miller (toe) was spotted running off to the side at Wednesday's practice, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Analysis: Miller has missed four straight games due to a turf toe injury, and though the Buccaneers haven't yet officially designated him for return from injured reserve, the 24-year-old's presence at practice off to the side is an encouraging sign.

Heads to IR
The Buccaneers placed Miller (toe) on injured reserve Wednesday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
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. Brown has not yet been activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list, but because he's believed to be previously…read more

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. Miller has yet to draw a target through two games, playing a total of 20 snaps from…read more

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.

Not on injury report
Miller (elbow) wasn't listed on Monday's injury report.
Analysis: Miller emerged from preseason Week 3 with a minor tweak of his elbow, but fortunately for the third-year wide receiver he's not considered among the Buccaneers' few injury concerns heading into the season opener Thursday versus the Cowboys. 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.

Miller, who failed to bring in his only target in the Buccaneers' 23-16 preseason win over the Texans on Saturday night, also suffered a minor injury to his elbow, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Miller ended up with another empty stat line Saturday to wrap up preseason, but his elbow issue played a part by briefly knocking him out of the contest. 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.

Does nothing with two grabs
Miller secured two of three targets for minus-1 yard in the Buccaneers' 34-3 preseason loss to the Titans on Saturday night.
Analysis: The third-year speedster has had a solid camp by all accounts, but he was a non-factor Saturday night while catching his two passes from Ryan Griffin. Miller seems to have a fairly secure grip on a roster spot, but he could certainly lose snaps to both Tyler Johnson and rookie Jaelon Darden behind the top trio of Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Antonio Brown as the season progresses.

Quiet in Super Bowl win
Miller rushed once for minus-3 yards and did not draw a target during the Buccaneers' 31-9 win over the Chiefs in Super Bowl LV on Sunday.
Analysis: The speedy wideout logged 12 snaps from scrimmage, but he was somewhat surprisingly uninvolved in the air attack. 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 is one of the Buccaneers' secondary receivers that stands to benefit from the absence of Antonio Brown (knee) for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Packers, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Miller took a big step forward in his second season, posting a 33-501-3 line (53 targets) across 16 games, with seven of his receptions going for more than 20 yards. 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.

Analysis: The speedy wideout was once again a bit player in the offense despite Tom Brady throwing for 381 yards, marking his third consecutive one-catch effort dating back to Week 16. 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.

Trio of grabs in win
Miller secured all three targets for 20 yards in the Buccaneers' 31-27 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
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's standing in the air attack had significantly diminished since shortly after the arrival of Antonio Brown, and he'd logged just 34 combined snaps from scrimmage over the previous three games.

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.

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.

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.

Ready for Week 6
Miller (hip/groin) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Packers, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Analysis: Limited in practice all week, Miller has been cleared to suit up Week 6 along with position mates Mike Evans (ankle) and Chris Godwin (hamstring). In the two games all three have been active this season, Miller totaled eight catches (on 11 targets) for 156 yards. That said, the going may be tough versus a Green Bay defense that has conceded 151 receiving yards per game to wideouts in 2020.

Stays limited Thursday
Miller (hip/groin) remained limited at Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Miller seemed to be the healthiest of the Bucs' available wide receivers last Thursday in Chicago, but he was blanked in the box score, despite earning 63 percent of the snaps on offense. With Mike Evans (ankle) logging a limited session for the first time in weeks Thursday and Chris Godwin (hamstring) maintaining that activity level, the group clearly is getting healthier as the team prepares for Sunday's showdown with the Packers. Friday's injury report will give a better sense of the trio's…read more

Limited Wednesday
Miller (hip/groin) was limited at Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Despite missing Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Justin Watson (chest) in last Thursday's loss to the Bears, Miller wasn't targeted while ranking third in offensive snap share (63 percent) behind Mike Evans (85) and rookie Tyler Johnson (79). 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). On Wednesday, Evans (ankle) didn't practice, Godwin also was limited, and…read more

No targets in Week 5 loss
Miller (hip/groin) did not see a target in Thursday night's 20-19 loss to the Bears.
Analysis: Miller looked to be in better shape health-wise than fellow wideout Mike Evans (ankle) coming into the contest, but the speedster was surprisingly unable to even draw a look from Tom Brady on a night when the Buccaneers were still down Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Justin Watson (chest). The quiet night will likely go down as an outlier in retrospect, but for the moment, Miller cost fantasy managers a valuable roster spot in their Week 5 games after coming into the contest presumably poised for…read more

Suiting up Thursday
Miller (hip/groin) is active for Thursday's game at Chicago.
Analysis: Among the Bucs' top four wide receivers, Miller was the only one to get in a limited practice this week and now will be one of the top options at Tom Brady's disposal. Aside from Miller, Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Justin Watson (chest) are inactive, leaving Mike Evans (ankle), Tyler Johnson, Jaydon Mickens and Cyril Grayson as the wide receivers available to the offense.

Expected to play Thursday
Miller (hip/groin) is expected to play Thursday night against the Bears, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Miller was one of few members of his position group to see meaningful practice time this week, and it's looking like that might pay off if he's indeed active for the contest (that will be worth confirming prior to the 8:20 p.m. EST kickoff). Fellow wideout Chris Godwin (hamstring) has already been ruled out for the matchup, while Rapoport is reporting the status of Mike Evans (ankle) will hinge on his pregame workout.

Questionable for Thursday
Miller (hip/groin) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game at Chicago, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
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. Over the last two games, Miller combined for eight catches (on 12 targets) for 166 yards and one touchdown.

Miller (hip/groin) didn't participate in Tuesday's practice, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Miller joined Mike Evans (ankle), Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Justin Watson (chest) as non-participants for a second consecutive day. Among those four, Godwin is in the greatest danger of not suiting up Thursday in Chicago, which would leave slot duties up for grabs. Miller filled in this past Sunday versus the Chargers, going for five catches (on seven targets) for 83 yards and one touchdown.

Miller (hip) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's injury report.
Analysis: The same can be said for Mike Evans (ankle), Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Justin Watson (chest). Godwin himself isn't expected to return for Thursday's game at Chicago, so Miller likely will take over slot duties in the Bucs offense if he's active Week 5. This past Sunday against the Chargers, Miller managed five catches (on seven targets) for 83 yards and one touchdown.

Records TD in win
Miller (hip/groin) secured five of seven targets for 83 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 38-31 win over the Chargers on Sunday.
Analysis: Despite the fact he was beset by a pair of lower-body injuries throughout the week, Miller showed no ill effects on a nifty 44-yard reception and subsequent 19-yard scoring grab in a go-ahead third-quarter drive for the Buccaneers that solely consisted of the speedster's pair of catches. Miller clearly benefited from the absence of Chris Godwin (hamstring), and with the latter not expected to be ready for Thursday night's road battle against the Bears, the second-year pro should have a good…read more

Ready to go Week 4
Miller (hip/groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Analysis: Miller's status came down to a pregame workout, and the second-year wideout apparently moved around well enough for the Buccaneers' training and coaching staffs to sign off on him suiting up Week 4. The 23-year-old has already been filling a starting role for Tampa Bay through the first three games, but he could see more involvement in the passing game than usual with Chris Godwin (hamstring) sidelined for his second game of the season.

Analysis: The Chargers-Buccaneers game will take place in the early window of games Sunday, so fantasy managers counting on Miller will receive clarity on his status when Tampa Bay releases its inactive list approximately 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Miller was sidelined for two practices to begin the week, but after turning in a full workout Friday, he's seemingly trending in the right direction for the Week 4 matchup.

Analysis: Miller looks as though he'll officially be listed as 'limited' on Friday's final practice report of the week, but that would be a notable step in the right direction coming off back-to-back absences. With Chris Godwin (hamstring) expected to sit out Sunday's game against the Chargers, Miller could see the opportunity for valuable added reps if he's able to get the green light and suit up.

At this point, Godwin appears likelier of the two to sit out this weekend, but Miller will need to get back on the practice field in some capacity Friday for the Buccaneers to feel good about his chances of suiting up.

Watson himself sat out this past Sunday against the Broncos due to a shoulder injury, and Godwin is expected to miss time with a hamstring issue.

The rapport that the second-year receiver and quarterback Tom Brady repeatedly demonstrated in training camp practices has translated to the regular season, with Miller now sporting a 10-167 line on 14 targets through three games.

Analysis: Miller was a limited practice participant Wednesday and Thursday before upgrading to full at Friday's session. He'll be out there Sunday in Denver, though his fantasy outlook takes a hit with Chris Godwin back in the lineup. Miller was unable to take advantage of his big opportunity last week, catching two of three targets for 11 yards in a 31-17 win over the Panthers.

Miller (hip/groin) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.
Analysis: Through two games, Miller has benefited from both of the Buccaneers' top two wide receivers dealing with injuries, logging 60-70 percent of the team's snaps on offense. 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. Look for his status to receive some clarity by the release of Friday's injury report.

Limited at Wednesday's practice
Miller was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice with hip and groin injuries.
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.

Quiet in Week 2 win
Miller brought in two of three targets for 11 yards and rushed once for one yard in the Buccaneers' 31-17 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
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. Miller will look to boost his production in a Week 3 road battle against the Broncos.

Offensive bump expected?

Analysis: Godwin's injury leaves just Miller and Mike Evans as the only two receivers with more than 17 career catches available for the Bucs in Week 2. The second-year pro parlayed his excellent training-camp chemistry with QB Tom Brady into a bountiful role during the season opener, turning six targets into 73 receiving yards while both Godwin and Evans were active and available. It's possible the Buccaneers could offset the loss of their star wideout with more two-TE personnel, although that would…read more

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Career-best day in loss
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

Notches pair of grabs
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.
