Scotty Miller (WR, TB) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues

ROSTERED: 16% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: It's been an up-and-down year for Scotty Miller--and the Bucs as a whole--so far after three weeks of play. While Tampa has won its last two games, they also dropped their first one against the lone competitive team they've faced so far. They're gearing up, though, and Miller was a big part of the offensive production last weekend against the Broncos. Not many people expected Miller to become a prime target of QB Tom Brady but he got six looks in W1. As foreseen, those targets dropped to three in W2, but the usage was back up this past Sunday and that helped Scotty reach another good fantasy tally.

Miller played 43 and 42 snaps in the first two games of the season but was on the field for just 29 last week. That doesn't mean his production went down, though. Miller was targeted 5 times, hauled in 3 passes, and posted a season-high 83 yards on them for a massive 27.7 Y/R average on the day. He finished with 11.3 PPR points, his second-best mark of the season (he reached 12.9 in W1).

The Bucs left W3 with Chris Godwin injured (hamstring) and although he could be there for W4, the most obvious move from Tampa would be to rest him letting him heal properly. Miller is also a little bit banged up (hip) but there are much fewer concerns about his availability for this week's game. The Chargers Defense against WR has been very good (8th-best in PPR points allowed to the position) but with Godwin out and given how Miller is breaking out as a sophomore all things should go well for him at least for another week. FLEX play at least with upside for more if Brady keeps looking his way.
