Pros: Regardless of missing two games last year, Miller caught a career-high 48 passes and tallied the second-most receiving yards of his career (514). Despite a bit of a downturn in touchdown production last year (three), Miller has regularly been a red zone threat (averaged six scores per year from 2005 to 2007).

Cons: Miller averaged a career-low 10.7 yards per reception last year and scored the fewest times as a pro (three). The Steelers have a lot of weapons, so the chance of Miller having a huge statistical season is rather slim. He caught three or fewer passes in eight of 14 games last year.

Fantasy tip: It's tough to count on Miller since his production is sporadic, but he makes for a capable backup for bye week replacement or injury fill-in scenarios. Draft him only in leagues that feature two tight ends.
