Scotty Miller (WR, TB) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues

ROSTERED: 9% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: You can be forgiven for not drafting Scotty Miller this summer. You can be forgiven for not picking him from waivers after the first couple of weeks of this season. But at this point, if you are one of the nine fantasy GMs passing on Scotty, you're doing something very very wrong. It's time to get your Scotter and ride it to the finish line.

In a team that features the likes of Rob Gronkowski, Mike Evans, and Chris Godwin, it was always going to be hard to have Scotty Miller as a breakout candidate. But here we are. Antonio Brown, watch out, mate.

Miller has just closed his best performance to date thanks to a monster Week 7 game in which he reached a season-high 22.9 PPR points. Miller was targeted 9 times, caught 6 of those passes, racked up 109 yards, and even scored a touchdown on the day. He was, plain and simply, unstoppable. With so many mouths to feed, it's going to be hard to see Miller putting on such levels of play weekly, but he's far from an afterthought in Tampa.

Miller has four games above 11 PPR this year, has gotten to 70+ yards every game he's been targeted 5+ times (four of them), and he already has two TDs on the season. Even with the addition of Antonio Brown (assuming he stays with the team more than a week or two...) Miller should keep WR3/4 duties and get targeted here and there.

Not a must-have in shallower leagues because of the competition, but a more than a palatable addition worth considering in deeper league rosters.
