Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 4: Heath Miller

The Pittsburgh Steelers aren't in a position to maximize their passing game with Ben Roethlisberger out for the next 4-6 weeks due to a knee injury.

If they're going to keep the chains moving, however, it would be nice to be able to rely on players not named Antonio Brown or Le'Veon Bell. This is where veterans like Heath Miller come into play, as the tight end has been a reliable safety valve for as long as he's been dressed in black and yellow. A reliable dump-off option is exactly what a turnover-prone Michael Vick could use, and one that his coaches would love him to utilize as well.

Fantasy impact: Unfortunately for Miller's fantasy owners, the Steelers offense couldn't find much room to succeed on Sunday, putting up just 12 points in a game Ben Roethlisberger exited early due to injury. Miller was targeted just three times in a game in which Markus Wheaton was hurt and Martavis Bryant was absent due to a suspension, which doesn't bode well for his prospects going forward.

Even in Week 4 against the struggling Baltimore Ravens, Miller can't be considered anything more than a TE2. Fantasy owners would be better-suited with a different option at tight end if they have one, which ought to be the case given Miller's cheap draft position early in the season.
