Miller

Seumalo’s absence leaves a noticeable gap on the left side of the interior offensive line. Spencer Anderson is the only other true guard remaining on the team’s depth chart. The former seventh-round guard could be asked to step into the starting role against the Chargers. None of the other absences for the Steelers come as a surprise.

Both Clark and Holcomb were ruled out before the weekend, so there are no notable surprises here. The Steelers, who have dropped their last two games are hoping a home matchup against the Colts can break in their favor as they look to distance themselves from the resurgent Ravens in the AFC North.

Miller injured his finger in Thursday’s practice and will be unable to go for Sunday Night Football. There aren’t any surprises beyond that for the Steelers, who host quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ former team in Week 8.

He apparently picked up this injury in practice on Thursday, and did not return on Friday. Usually this kind of quick rule out would put Miller at some risk of an IR stint. His absence does not impact fantasy football in the slightest.

Miller caught five passes for 69 yards last season while playing in a limited backup role. The veteran receiver joined the Steelers after spending the 2023 season with the Falcons and current Steelers OC Arthur Smith. His best season came in 2020, when he posted a 33-501-3 line while with the Buccaneers, but there’s no reason to expect him to replicate that line anytime soon.

The Steelers enter the playoffs among the healthiest teams in the NFL. With Georg Pickens fully healthy, the Steelers will hope the mercurial wideout comes through with a big outing against a vulnerable Baltimore secondary.

Miller did not make much of an impact with the Steelers with just five catches on nine targets for 69 yards with no touchdowns. The former Bowling Green star will likely be a depth add for a roster in 2025.

With George Pickens (hamstring) sidelined, Miller emerged to lead all Steelers receivers in targets and receiving yards. The journeyman hauled in an impressive grab along the sideline for a 21-yard gain in the fourth quarter but was otherwise held in check — as expected. There’s no fantasy upside here even if Pickens does miss another week.

After hiring Arthur Smith to be their next offensive coordinator, the Steelers have made it abundantly clear that they plan to run Smith’s offense from Atlanta. They have already signed Cordarrelle Patterson, Van Jefferson, and Miller, all of whom played under Smith in 2023, this offseason. Miller went for 161 yards and two scores on 11 grabs last year. He figures to see most of his work on special teams in Pittsburgh.

Last seen being the incomplete receiver on several Tom Brady targets, Miller figures to be a depth receiver for Atlanta. Miller had a 23/185/0 line last year on 40 targets and hasn’t been fantasy-relevant since 2020. We doubt that changes in Atlanta’s run-heavy offense.
