Heath Miller, Pittsburgh Steelers
Throughout his career, Heath Miller has been one of Ben Roethlisberger‘s most trusted receivers. The 32-year-old tight end isn’t Rob Gronkowski, but he’s been solid and consistent.
For perspective, Miller has recorded 50-plus receptions in five of the past six seasons.
Miller started the 2015 season with a very productive game. He tallied eight receptions on 11 targets for 84 yards, which is good for a solid eight points in standard leagues and 16 in point-per-reception formats.
Assuming you have Miller in the latter, he wouldn’t be a bad player to keep on your roster.
Miller has his down games, but he’s generally good for three-to-five receptions per game. He’ll also provide relatively strong yardage, which could net him some double-digit scoring outbursts in PPR settings.
He isn’t a full-time fantasy football starter, but Miler can still produce within Pittsburgh’s crowded offense.
