Fantasy impact: If Miller plays on Sunday, he would no doubt be an upgrade from David Johnson, who has one catch for 11 yards in two games this season. That said, he is coming off of an injury that softened care not one, not two, but three ligaments in his knee. Only time will tell how his body will react to all the extended time off. Miller is worth starting in deeper fantasy leagues. he is no longer a number one option considering how badly the Steelers have played to start the season and the fact that Miller’s injury is the worst of his career.
