Analysis: Miller was pretty average last year as far as fantasy standards go. The Steelers have been forced to turn to the veteran tight end to assist in pass blocking often with so many issues and questions surrounding the front five. As he continues to be a non-factor through preseason, owners should temper their expectations even more. Miller only finished 2011 with two touchdowns total, his second season in a row with this mark. He might be a No. 2 tight end at best for your lineup.
