Zach Miller (TE, CHI) - Waiver Wire Analysis

Baller Move: Handcuff to Martellus Bennett

Owned In: 13% of Fleaflicker Leagues

Analysis: After a non-existent first eight weeks to the season, Zach Miller has recently become an integral part of Chicago's scoring offense. Over the past four weeks, Miller has scored four touchdowns; two in one game against the St. Louis Rams. He has produced efficiently while Martellus Bennett has been limited because of a lingering ribs injury. Bennett missed action last week where Miller was targeted seven times, but only managed to catch two passes for ten yards. Miller did, however, reel in a touchdown, but with Bennett likely to return Sunday, what does this now mean for the backup tight end?

Miller simply does not possess the same abilities as Bennett, and could very well take another backseat to him. Bennett is listed as questionable, but did practice on Monday, according to Yahoo! Sports. At this rate, it appears that Bennett will take the field Sunday and if he is 100 percent, will take away the targets that have made Miller an effective fantasy fill-in.

If Bennett suits up, Miller will be no more than a handcuff. If for any reason Bennett doesn't put his pads on, Miller will remain a cautionary, borderline TE1, especially for fantasy owners of Bennett. In the land of IF's, it will be best to monitor Bennett's involvement in practice and his health throughout the week before making any decisions.
