Scotty Miller - Page 2 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Minimal role in Week 13 Miller secured one of two targets for seven yards in the Buccaneers' 17-16 win over the Saints on Monday night.

Impact Miller was in on just 15 snaps, which represented a 19 percent share of the Buccaneers' offensive plays. The speedy reserve wideout is likely due for similar low-volume games the rest of the way as long as Julio Jones and Russell Gage are both healthy as the No. 3 and No. 4 receivers ahead of him.

Limited use Week 12 Miller went without a target while playing two of the Buccaneers' 66 snaps on offense in Sunday's 23-17 overtime loss to the Browns.

Impact Russell Gage (hamstring) was inactive for the fourth straight game due to injury, but since all of Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Julio Jones have been available during that stretch, Miller hasn't been able to carve out much of a role on offense. Whenever Gage is cleared to return to game action, Miller and/or Breshad Perriman could end up being healthy inactives.

Pair of receptions in Week 10 win Miller brought in both his targets for 25 yards in the Buccaneers' 21-16 win over the Seahawks on Sunday.

Impact Miller continued to hold down a serviceable role in the offense as the No. 4 receiver, and although he logged four fewer snaps than Breshad Perriman, he was the only one of the two to see any targets. Miller has produced four consecutive multi-catch games, but his upside is still limited as long as Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Julio Jones are healthy in front of him.

Season-high seven catches Miller caught seven of eight targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Rams.

Impact The fourth-year receiver posted his best numbers of the season as Russell Gage (hamstring) was inactive and Julio Jones was ineffective. Miller's role in a deep receiving corps is erratic and largely dependent on the health of the players ahead of him on the depth chart, making him a risky option in Week 10 when the Buccaneers head to Germany to face the Seahawks.

Another two catches Thursday Miller brought in both targets for 13 yards in the Buccaneers' 27-22 loss to the Ravens on Thursday night.

Impact Miller recorded his second straight two-catch effort, which, while not exactly noteworthy, at least gives him a semblance of relevance in a struggling offense. Miller has four multi-catch efforts overall this season and logged 19 snaps Thursday night, and while he might be a slightly better fringe Buccaneers fantasy option than Breshad Perriman, he's still unlikely to gain any true relevance unless multiple injuries strike the receiving corps.

OCTOBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Records pair of grabs in loss Miller secured both targets for six yards in the Buccaneers' 21-3 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

Impact The speedster's pair of receptions represented a slight bump in involvement after he logged just two snaps without a target Week 6, but his yardage total made his contributions negligible. Miller played on just eight snaps overall, and he's likely to remain a non-factor unless multiple injuries strike the Buccaneers' receivers.

OCTOBER 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Reemerges with four catches Miller secured four of seven targets for 35 yards in the Buccaneers' 21-15 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

Impact Miller logged his second-highest snap tally of the season (35) and made good use of it, posting season highs in receptions and receiving yards. The fourth-year speedster's prospects of even making the final roster appeared somewhat grim in the preseason, but Miller thus far has contributed in two of the three games he's been called upon, with a combined 7-69-0 line on 15 targets between Weeks 2 and 5. If Breshad Perriman (knee/hamstring) remains sidelined Sunday against the Steelers, Miller could see another solid complementary role in that contest.

OCTOBER 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Inactive against Kansas City Miller (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Kansas City.

Impact Miller was on the field for 52 offensive snaps last week since the Buccaneers were down several pass catchers, but he secured just one of five targets for four yards. He'll be a healthy scratch Sunday night with Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Julio Jones back in action.

OCTOBER 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Does little with opportunity Miller brought in just one of five targets for four yards in the Buccaneers' 14-12 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

Impact Miller played a robust 52 snaps from scrimmage with the Buccaneers down three receivers, yet as his final line implies, he largely squandered the opportunity. The Bowling Green product certainly brings plenty of speed to the table, but with just a 9-76 line on 22 targets over his last 11 regular-season games overall, Miller is unlikely to make any sort of impact whenever the team's receiving corps is even approximating full health.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Back to full practice Miller (calf) practiced fully Thursday.

Impact The Buccaneers' receiving corps seems poised to be depleted again Sunday versus the Packers, as Mike Evans will sit out due to a one-game suspension, Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Julio Jones (knee) have yet to practice this week, and Russell Gage (hamstring) and Breshad Perriman (knee) were limited again Thursday. Miller didn't take advantage of his eight targets Week 2 at New Orleans, turning them into three catches for 34 yards while taking one carry for eight yards. Still, he could earn a decent enough snap share to make an impact in the box score this weekend.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Bothered by calf Miller was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a calf injury.

Impact Russell Gage (hamstring) and Breshad Perriman (knee) also were limited, while Julio Jones (knee) and Chris Godwin (hamstring) didn't practice and Mike Evans is suspended for Week 3. It thus remains unclear who will see targets from Tom Brady this Sunday against Green Bay, but the early outlook hints at Miller being involved even if he has a minor calf injury.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2022 • Fox Sports

Three grabs in Week 2 win Miller brought in three of eight targets for 34 yards and rushed once for eight yards in the Buccaneers' 20-10 win over the Saints on Sunday.

Impact Miller garnered active status with both Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Julio Jones (knee) sidelined, and the speedster played a total of 29 snaps from scrimmage (43 percent). While there wasn't much efficiency evident in Miller's line, his numbers qualify as serviceable on a day when Tom Brady threw for only 190 yards. The Bowling Green product could be back to inactive status for a Week 3 home showdown with the Packers if either/both of Godwin or Jones are available for that contest.

Impact The speedy Bowling Green product was shut out in the exhibition opener and then not only did little Saturday night, but he also squandered a key opportunity. Knight notes Miller didn't hang on to what may have been Kyle Trask's best throw of the night, a deep pass down the right sideline late in the second quarter. The fourth-year pro's one grab did come on a third-and-6 situation, but with undrafted free agent Deven Thompkins putting together another solid effort Saturday and also capable of filling a return role, Miller's chances of making the final 53-man roster may be dwindling.

AUGUST 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Empty stat line in opener Miller failed to bring in his only target in the Buccaneers' 26-24 preseason loss to the Dolphins on Saturday night.

Impact Miller notably came up empty on a night where several of his fellow competitors for a depth receiver role put some strong play on film. The Bowling Green product does have a respectable body of work from prior seasons to rely on to an extent, but he'll certainly need to show a lot more in his ongoing bid for a roster spot during next Saturday night's road preseason battle against the Titans.

Impact Miller hasn't yet had much of a chance to run slot and option routes at the NFL level despite thriving in those at Bowling Green, but Buccaneers coaches are apparently giving him a bit more free rein this summer. Miller also has taken some reps as a kickoff returner and apparently is completely healed from the hamstring injury that prevented him from participating in minicamp, leaving him well-positioned for the heated battle with the likes of Breshad Perriman (leg), Cyril Grayson and Tyler Johnson for the last couple of roster spots at wide receiver available behind the top quartet of Mike Evans (hamstring), Chris Godwin (knee), Russell Gage and Julio Jones.

AUGUST 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Four grabs in season-ending loss Miller brought in four of six targets for 38 yards during the Buccaneers' 30-27 loss to the Rams in their NFC divisional-round matchup Sunday.

Impact Kept in proverbial mothballs for most of the regular season, Miller was due for a bump in volume Sunday with fellow downfield threats Cyril Grayson (hamstring) and Breshad Perriman (hip) out of action. The extra opportunity did come his way in the form of a season-high target tally, and the in-game ribs injury suffered by Tyler Johnson also played a part in Miller's enhanced involvement. With a mostly forgettable 2021 now behind him, the Bowling Green product will look to carve out a more consistent role in 2022.

JANUARY 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Minor role in playoff opener Miller brought in his only target for eight yards and rushed once for nine yards during the Buccaneers' 31-15 win over the Eagles in an NFC wild-card matchup Sunday.

Impact Miller made a splash Week 18 against the Panthers with 43 rushing yards and a score on the ground, but he was back to a minimal role Sunday, even with fellow downfield threat Cyril Grayson (hamstring) out of action. The Bowling Green product is likely to be relegated to a similarly modest level of involvement in Sunday's divisional-round matchup against the Rams.

JANUARY 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Takes advantage of opportunity Miller secured his only target for nine yards and rushed twice for 43 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 41-17 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Impact The third-year speedster had been an afterthought in the offense over the last several weeks, but he was able to finally make an impact in 2021 on the final Sunday of the campaign. Miller used his elite wheels on a fourth-quarter end around that saw him speed up the right sideline and then athletically tight-rope the sideline to get just over the pylon for the score. Miller saw all of nine targets in nine games during the regular season, but considering the depleted nature of Tampa Bay's receiving corps heading into the postseason, there's certainly a chance he'll see some opportunities behind the top trio of Mike Evans, Breshad Perriman and Tyler Johnson if Cyril Grayson (hamstring) is sidelined for Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Eagles.

Doesn't see field in win Miller was active but did not log a snap in the Buccaneers' 28-24 win over the Jets on Sunday.

Impact Miller's status as a non-participant in the offense only further solidifies how far he's apparently fallen in the wideout hierarchy for the Buccaneers. Tampa Bay will be down yet another pass catcher once Antonio Brown is eventually cut, but it remains to be seen if that development will actually translate to any meaningful action for Miller, even in the relatively meaningless Week 18 finale versus the Panthers.
