11 months agoFormer Atlanta Falcons free-agent wide receiver
Scotty Miller is reuniting with Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith on an undisclosed one-year deal on Wednesday, according to a source. Smith was the head coach in Atlanta to begin last season before getting fired. In 17 games with the Falcons last year, Miller caught 11 of his 16 targets for 161 yards and two touchdowns. While he will reunite with Smith, the 26-year-old pass-catcher will merely operate as receiving depth in Pittsburgh behind
George Pickens,
Van Jefferson, rookie
Roman Wilson and
Calvin Austin III. The 26-year-old speedster has a total of 85 catches on 144 targets for 1,085 receiving yards and six touchdowns in 67 games (eight starts) over his five seasons in the NFL. He was originally a sixth-round pick by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2019 out of Bowling Green.

2 years agoTampa Bay Buccaneers free-agent wide receiver
Scotty Miller agreed to an undisclosed one-year deal with the Atlanta Falcons on Wednesday, according to a source. Miller will stay in the NFC South after spending the first four years of his NFL career with the Buccaneers. In his four seasons with the team, he caught 74 of his 128 targets for 924 yards and four touchdowns in 50 regular season games (eight starts). The 25-year-old former sixth-rounder in 2019 had 23 receptions for 185 yards in 15 regular season games on 40 targets in 2022. He was buried on Tampa's receiver depth chart behind
Mike Evans,
Chris Godwin,
Julio Jones and
Russell Gage, so the move to Atlanta should allow him to have a bigger role, although it won't necessarily make him a big fantasy weapon.

2 years agoThe Tampa Bay Buccaneers are not expected to re-sign impending free-agent wide receivers
Julio Jones,
Breshad Perriman or
Scotty Miller, according to a source. Veterans such as running back
Giovani Bernard, tight end
Kyle Rudolph and safeties Logan Ryan and Keanu Neal are also not expected to return. Jones is the biggest name of the group. The seven-time Pro Bowler just finished up his 12th year in the NFL and looked close to finished while continue to battle lower-body injuries. He played in only 10 games for the second straight season and compiled only 24 catches on 43 targets for 299 yards and two touchdowns for Tampa. With Jones likely out of the picture in 2023,
Russell Gage could once again become a nice sleeper pick in draft, depending on what happens with quarterback
Tom Brady.

Breshad Perriman (knee) and
Scotty Miller are both inactive on Sunday night against the Kansas City Chiefs. Perriman came into the Week 4 contest doubtful to play, while Miller will be a healthy scratch with
Chris Godwin (hamstring) and
Julio Jones (knee) returning to action. Tight end
Kyle Rudolph will also be a healthy scratch for another game, while left tackle Donovan Smith (elbow) is active for the first time since getting injured in the season opener. Quarterback
Tom Brady will have his top three receivers back for the first time since Week 1, and he'll need them to keep up with the Chiefs explosive offense.
