Mon, 17 Jun 2013 15:14:19 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers TE Heath Miller (knee) said he likes the tight ends on the roster and believes they can all contribute to the team. "We have a really good room, a lot of capable guys in there," Miller said. "I think maybe one of the best top to bottom that I've been starting camp with. Hopefully we'll be able to keep everybody healthy, and I think everybody is capable of contributing and doing a good job." There is a strong possibility that Miller will not be ready for the start of the regular season.
Sun, 16 Jun 2013 20:45:47 -0700 Updating a previous report, Pittsburgh Steelers TE Matt Spaeth might start the regular season as a starter if TE Heath Miller (knee) is not ready. However, he is considered a strong blocking tight end, which would help trigger the running back. He understands he probably won't see the ball as much as Miller did even as a starter. "I'm a role guy, and I know I've got a role, and I never worry about how many balls are being thrown to me," Spaeth said. Fantasy Tip: Even if Spaeth were able to start in Week 1, his fantasy value would be negligible. He is more of a pass-block specialist rather than a threat in the receiving game.
Sun, 16 Jun 2013 20:44:51 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers TE Heath Miller (knee) is out indefinitely following knee surgery, and there is a strong chance he will not be ready for the start of the regular season. Fantasy Tip: If Miller is not ready, Matt Spaeth is likely to slide into a starting role until the veteran Miller can get back in the lineup. Miller is still considered a Top 15 fantasy option at his position despite his uncertain status for the opener.
Sat, 15 Jun 2013 08:41:50 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers TE Matt Spaeth could be the team's starting tight end early in the season if TE Heath Miller (knee) is not able to play.
Wed, 22 May 2013 12:24:18 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers TE Heath Miller (knee) said he is happy with the progress he has made in his recovery from a torn anterior cruciate ligament but is not sure when he will be able to return. He said he has started to run as part of his rehab. He believes there is a chance he can be ready for the start of the regular season but will know more when training camp begins. Fantasy Tip: Miller's fantasy value is uncertain at this time because of his recovery. Owners should consider Miller a weak No. 2 tight end option because of the injury as well as the team's inconsistent offense.
Sun, 05 May 2013 09:44:15 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said TE Heath Miller (knee) is on schedule in his recovery from a torn anterior cruciate ligament. Fantasy Tip: There is question as to whether Miller will be ready for the start of the 2013 season because he suffered injury late in the 2012 season. Matt Spaeth likely will be the starter if Miller is not ready for the season. Spaeth should not be on the radar for any fantasy owners.
Mon, 04 Feb 2013 12:03:41 -0800 The Pittsburgh Steelers will make wide receiver a top priority in this year's draft with TE Heath Miller (knee) injured and WRs Antonio Brown and Emmanuel Sanders both similar receivers that won't strike fear in opposing secondaries due to their lack of threat on the deep routes. California WR Keenan Allen may be a target, as he's considered a top-15 pick. Tennessee WR Cordarrelle Patterson is another prospect expected to be taken in the first round, but he's not as polished as Allen and lacks top-end speed.
Sun, 03 Feb 2013 10:21:53 -0800 Pittsburgh Steelers TE Heath Miller (knee) will allow his damaged posterior cruciate ligament to heal on its own and will not need surgery. Miller did have surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament and medial collateral ligament. The Steelers are not sure when Miller will be able to return.
Wed, 26 Dec 2012 12:46:42 -0800 Pittsburgh Steelers TE Heath Miller (knee) is scheduled to undergo surgery Thursday, Dec. 27, to repair his torn anterior cruciate ligament and medial collateral ligament. Miller said his posterior cruciate ligament was also damaged.
Wed, 26 Dec 2012 08:48:51 -0800 The Pittsburgh Steelers announced Wednesday, Dec. 26, they have placed TE Heath Miller (knee), CB Ike Taylor (ankle) and RB Baron Batch (arm) on Injured Reserve.
Mon, 24 Dec 2012 09:54:47 -0800 Pittsburgh Steelers TE Heath Miller (knee) will require surgery after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament and medial collateral ligament injury in Week 16. Miller possibly suffered a partial posterior cruciate ligament injury as well. "Unfortunately his season comes to an end," head coach Mike Tomlin said. "He has been rock solid for us and we really appreciate his efforts. We understand injuries are a part of the game, but unfortunately it brings his season to a close."
Sun, 23 Dec 2012 19:05:44 -0800 Pittsburgh Steelers TE Heath Miller (knee) suffered a posterior cruciate ligament and medial collateral ligament injury in his right knee during the Week 16 game against the Cincinnati Browns. He isn't expected to play in the regular season finale against the Cleveland Browns, according to head coach Mike Tomlin.
Sun, 23 Dec 2012 13:07:28 -0800 Pittsburgh Steelers TE Heath Miller (knee) left the game early Week 16 because of a knee injury and will not return.
Mon, 17 Dec 2012 05:31:28 -0800 Although Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger placed blame on himself for the team's Week 15 loss, he also questioned the playcalling. When asked why TE Heath Miller didn't have a single pass thrown his way in the second half, Roethlisberger replied, "I just don't think we called the right plays to get him the ball." And when asked why the team didn't run more no-huddle offense in the second half, Roethlisberger acknowledged he wished they had done more. "That's tough for me to answer right now," Roethlisberger said. "The second half we didn't do much of it, and that's disappointing."
Sun, 16 Dec 2012 21:26:43 -0800 Pittsburgh Steelers TE Heath Miller had seven receptions for 92 yards and a touchdown in the Week 15 game against the Dallas Cowboys, and WR Antonio Brown chipped in with eight catches for 76 yards and a score.
Sun, 02 Dec 2012 20:15:18 -0800 Pittsburgh Steelers TE Heath Miller had five receptions for a season-high 97 yards in Week 13 against the Baltimore Ravens, and he scored his seventh touchdown of the season to tie a career high.
Sun, 02 Dec 2012 20:14:15 -0800 Pittsburgh Steelers QB Charlie Batch completed 25 of his 36 pass attempts for 276 yards, one touchdown and one interception in the Week 13 game against the Baltimore Ravens. Batch was impressive in the fourth quarter and overtime, engineering a game-tying drive and TD throw to TE Heath Miller, and then setting his team up for the game-winning field goal in overtime.
Sun, 18 Nov 2012 22:41:38 -0800 Pittsburgh Steelers TE Heath Miller had limited to just two grabs for 22 yards in Week 11 against the Baltimore Ravens. Fantasy Tip: Miller and QB Byron Leftwich do not have nearly the same rapport as Miller and QB Ben Roethlisberger (shoulder), who was inactive. Miller might be without his starting QB again in Week 12, but he remains a Top 10 fantasy option at his position even with Leftwich at the helm.
Mon, 12 Nov 2012 21:11:20 -0800 Pittsburgh Steelers TE Heath Miller had team highs with four receptions and 47 yards in Week 10 against the Kansas City Chiefs Monday, Nov. 12. Fantasy Tip: Miller's fantasy value might be hurt if QB Ben Roethlisberger (shoulder) is forced to miss any length of time. He would still be worth using in most fantasy leagues, but he would go from a Top 10 fantasy option to Top 15.
Thu, 01 Nov 2012 13:03:38 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers TE Heath Miller is second in the NFL in touchdowns with six, and he's on pace to surpass his career high of 76 receptions set back in 2009. Miller currently has 35 catches for 336 yards. "He's a great player. I have comfort in him," said QB Ben Roethlisberger. "He's just getting open and we are calling more things for him." The Steelers are expected to call plenty of pass plays for Miller against the New York Giants in Week 9.
Sun, 28 Oct 2012 11:17:47 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers TE Heath Miller hauled in a red-zone touchdown in the first half of the Week 8 game against the Washington Redskins. He has six receiving TDs in the red zone this season. The rest of the Steelers have combined for three red-zone TDs, while no player has more than one.
Fri, 26 Oct 2012 10:46:28 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger had high praise for TE Heath Miller. "He's a great player, a great teammate, maybe the best I've ever had at any level," said Roethlisberger. "That's a high compliment but he deserves it. He makes plays." Miller leads the team with five touchdowns and his tied for the league lead in scores among tight ends with New England Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski and Minnesota Vikings TE Kyle Rudolph.
Sun, 21 Oct 2012 22:18:27 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers TE Heath Miller hauled in six receptions for 53 yards and a touchdown in the Week 7 win against the Cincinnati Bengals. Fantasy Tip: Miller returned to the end zone for the first time since Week 3. He now has five scores in six games this season, and at least four grabs in five of his six contests. He remains a Top 10 fantasy option in most formats.
Mon, 24 Sep 2012 07:04:49 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers TE Heath Miller has had an increased role in the red zone under offensive coordinator Todd Haley. Miller scored two touchdowns in Week 3, his third and fourth touchdowns of the season. Miller hasn't had more than two touchdowns in a season since 2009, when he scored six times.
Sun, 23 Sep 2012 22:31:00 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers TE Heath Miller hauled in eight receptions for 60 yards and a pair of scores in the Week 3 win against the Oakland Raiders. He was targeted 10 times. Miller has now four touchdown receptions through the first three games.

"Haley is excited about what Heath Miller is capable of," head coach Mike Tomlin said. "He's been very clear about that, his excitement to work with Miller. I would imagine that the tight end is going to be a part of our plan."
