Scotty Miller - Page 6 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Limited at Wednesday's practice Miller was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice with hip and groin injuries.

Impact Miller got more run than expected Weeks 1 and 2, with the latter game coinciding with Chris Godwin's absence due to a concussion. Godwin cleared the protocol for head injuries as of Monday, so it'll be interesting to see if Miller can continue to receive 60-to-70 percent of the Buccaneers' offensive snaps. To date, Miller has hauled in seven of nine targets for 84 yards, but Godwin's return and Miller's own hip and groin issues could result in a decreased workload Week 3 in Denver.

Quiet in Week 2 win Miller brought in two of three targets for 11 yards and rushed once for one yard in the Buccaneers' 31-17 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Impact Expectations were elevated for Miller following his impressive 6-73 line through the air in Week 1 and in the confirmed absence of fellow wideout Chris Godwin (concussion). However, the second-year wideout ultimately turned in a dud from a fantasy perspective, as Mike Evans and fellow complementary receiver Justin Watson accounted for 152 of Tom Brady's 217 passing yards. Miller will look to boost his production in a Week 3 road battle against the Broncos.

Offensive bump expected? Miller could see a sizable bump in his offensive role after Chris Godwin (concussion) was ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Impact Godwin's injury leaves just Miller and Mike Evans as the only two receivers with more than 17 career catches available for the Bucs in Week 2. The second-year pro parlayed his excellent training-camp chemistry with QB Tom Brady into a bountiful role during the season opener, turning six targets into 73 receiving yards while both Godwin and Evans were active and available. It's possible the Buccaneers could offset the loss of their star wideout with more two-TE personnel, although that would still give Miller opportunities to work on the outside against a porous Panthers secondary.

Solid involvement in Week 1 loss Miller secured five of six targets for 73 yards and rushed once for six yards in the Buccaneers' 34-23 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

Impact New quarterback Tom Brady and Miller had displayed excellent chemistry throughout training camp, and that seemed to carry over well into the duo's first taste of game action. Miller logged a team-high 37-yard reception among his five catches, and he checked in just below Chris Godwin and his 6-79 line in the Buccaneers' pass-catching corps. The speedy second-year wideout also appeared to benefit from the fact Mike Evans was frequently blanketed by nemesis Marshon Lattimore, and that talented Saints third corner P.J. Williams missed the game with a hamstring issue. Miller will look to build on his solid season-opening effort when he faces a beatable Panthers secondary in a Week 2 home matchup.

Possible Week 1 snaps boost Miller could be one of the primary beneficiaries if Mike Evans (hamstring) is forced to miss the Week 1 divisional clash against the Saints, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times repo...

Impact Miller is listed as Chris Godwin's backup on the first edition of the unofficial depth chart, but given his elite speed and his stellar training camp, it's likely Miller would at least modestly out-snap Justin Watson as the No. 3 receiver most weeks if the pass-catching corps is at full health. However, if Evans, who appears headed for a game-time decision, does sit Sunday's opener out, Watson is likelier to start, but Miller could certainly benefit in the form of an overall boost in snaps.

Likely primary third receiver Miller, who consistently impressed throughout training camp, is listed alongside Justin Watson as the primary backups to starting receivers Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, Scott Smith...

Impact Who officially serves as the No. 3 receiver is difficult to ascertain before the games begin, and it's possible Miller and Watson often rotate the role. However, given Miller's elite speed and instant chemistry with Tom Brady this summer, it isn't difficult to imagine he could see a greater share of snaps than Watson, who also had a solid camp but didn't quite match Miller's performances.

Constantly making plays Miller has been able to keep up his early-camp momentum by regularly making plays in practices, and he hauled in a 55-yard bomb from Tom Brady in Friday's scrimmage at Raymond Jame...

Impact The second-year speedster's name seemingly comes up in every training camp wrap-up, as Miller has quickly developed an impressive rapport with Brady and has been able to make plays on a number of different routes and depths of target. That was on display again in Friday's scrimmage, with Miller recording a 20-yard grab in the earlier portion of the simulated game and then subsequently bringing in the deep throw on a post route later in the session. The 23-year-old may have already locked in the No. 3 receiver role, as Tyler Johnson (undisclosed) has simply been too beset by injury and Justin Watson, while also making his share of plays, hasn't quite been on the same level as Miller.

Wowing in early practices Miller's speed and hands have already stood out over multiple training camp practices, Carmen Vitali of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact The second-year wideout is in the thick of the No. 3 receiver job battle with the likes of Justin Watson and rookie fifth-round pick Tyler Johnson, and he's making a strong early case for himself. Vitali noted Miller caught a perfect pass from Tom Brady in stride and also exploded up the field after taking a lateral from the legendary quarterback in Friday's practice. Meanwhile, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports Miller -- as opposed to other Buccaneers pass-catching luminaries such as Mike Evans, Chris Godwin or Rob Gronkowski -- was the recipient of Brady's first pass against the defense in the opening padded practice of camp Monday, with the two connecting on a deep throw. The competition for the third wideout job will likely last through training camp in the absence of preseason games, but Miller appears to be delivering an early message he'll be a force to be reckoned with.

Bulks up this offseason Miller put on 10 pounds of muscle this offseason and "looks great" according to coach Bruce Arians, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Impact The speedster could use the bulk in order to better withstand the rigors of the NFL, especially after playing his rookie season at approximately 175 pounds. Miller is though to be a leading contender for the No. 3 receiver job after generating a 13-200-1 line in 2019, and his 4.3 speed would make him much more than a prototypical shifty slot wideout that gets by with short-area quickness. A bit of extra size could make Miller even more effective if it doesn't slow him down, but he'll have to hold off promising fifth-round rookie Tyler Johnson for the role.

AUGUST 10, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Leading candidate for No. 3 role? Miller may be the favorite to open the season in the No. 3 receiver role, Scott Smith and Carmen Vitali of the team's official website report.

Impact Both Smith and Vitali cite Miller's experience edge in the offense as the reason why he's likelier than fifth-round pick Tyler Johnson to open the regular season directly under Chris Godwin and Mike Evans on the depth chart. In an offseason devoid of on-field work until late July, it's reasonable to assume Johnson will be somewhat behind the curve in terms of mastering coach Bruce Arians' offense, likely postponing his potential ascension into the third receiver role until later in the season. Miller's 4.3 speed also makes him an X-factor, and both reporters point out it was Breshad Perriman's impressive wheels that kept him in the No. 3 role last season despite his questionable hands.
