2007 Outlook

As a rookie, Miller started out on a very promising note when he caught 39 passes for 459 yards and six touchdowns but rather than take the next step up for a traditional second year breakout for a tight end; Miller just repeated his first season again. He gained 393 yards on 34 carries and scored five touchdowns in 2006. His production was only that high because he opened the year with a 101 yard game thanks to an 87-yard touchdown catch. That’s over 20% of his annual total on one catch in the fourth quarter of week one. Miller never again turned in more than 37 yards in any game and typically had around two or three catches per week for around 25 or 30 yards. Hardly the play of a stud tight end even if he did roughly score one touchdown every three games. With the offense undergoing at least some tweaking by new OC Bruce Arians, it’s unlikely that Miller’s role will grow into much more than it already is. A decent fantasy back-up but so far he’s not showing that he will take the next step into being worthy of a starting fantasy tight end.
