SUMMARY
Tight End Rank: #25   
Overall: #184


Miller didn't have a huge season but was still productive, topping 500 yards for the fourth straight season. He caught 42 passes in 14 games, having at least two receptions in all but a game. In the last four seasons, Miller averages 53 receptions for 595 yards and five touchdowns. He had one huge season in 2009, but the rest of his seasons have been very similar. Miller is the top tight end in the Steelers offense. Despite his size (6-5), Miller is quick and runs good routes, making him a tough cover. Plus, he is tough to bring down once he gets the ball. The Steelers throw a little more often than past Steelers' teams, giving Miller more chances in the passing game. He averaged five targets per game last season.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
Miller is a low-end No. 1 tight end. You pretty much know what to expect - a few big games, a few down games and a bunch of mediocre showings. He is good for 50 catches for 550 yards and five touchdowns. Miller isn't an exciting option at tight end but can get the job done if you want to wait on a starting tight end come draft day.
