Ryan Miller - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Claimed by New York The Giants claimed Miller off waivers Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Miller was waived by the Buccaneers on Wednesday after playing in all 13 games for the franchise this season. The wide receiver plays the majority of his snaps with the special teams unit and was likely waived due to the Buccaneers' receiving room getting healthier. The Giants likely signed the 25-year-old for a similar reason. With Gunner Olszewski (concussion) questionable for Sunday's contest, Miller may be thrust into a role as the Giants' No. 5 wide receiver.

Waived as TB gets WRs back Miller was waived by the Buccaneers on Wednesday.

Impact The Buccaneers activated Mike Evans (collarbone) and Jalen McMillan (neck) from injured reserve Wednesday. Miller and defensive lineman C.J. Brewer were waived to clear roster spots for the pair of returning wide receivers. In eight appearances for the Buccaneers this season, Miller had just two catches for 34 yards and a touchdown.

No targets despite WR injuries Miller did not log a target over 20 snaps in the Buccaneers' 23-3 win over the Saints on Sunday.

Impact Despite the absences of Mike Evans (IR, collarbone/concussion) and Chris Godwin (fibula), Miller wasn't able to draw a single target from Baker Mayfield, who attempted only 24 passes on the afternoon. Miller has just a 2-34-1 receiving line on four targets across eight games this season, and with Godwin likely able to return following the Week 9 bye, the former has virtually no fantasy value for the foreseeable future.

Solid gain on one catch Miller secured his only target for 14 yards in the Buccaneers' 24-9 loss to the Lions on Monday night.

Impact Miller logged nine snaps on offense, as Chris Godwin's (fibula) absence and Mike Evans' in-game injuries -- a broken collarbone and concussion -- opened some opportunities down the Buccaneers' receiver depth chart. While Evans and Godwin are both already ruled out for Sunday's Week 8 road matchup against the Saints, Miller looks likely to remain in a fairly insignificant reserve role.

No stats in Week 3 win Miller failed to bring in his only target over 18 snaps in the Buccaneers' Week 3 win over the Jets, but he could be in line for a bigger role in Sunday's Week 4 matchup against th...

Impact Miller had flashed with a 20-yard touchdown reception on his one catch during the Week 2 Monday night win over the Texans, but he couldn't break the stat sheet against New York. However, this Sunday's Week 4 clash with the Eagles could see Miller have some level of relevance, as even if Chris Godwin (ankle) does make his season debut as a de facto No. 1 receiver in Evans' presumed absence, he could be on a snap limit. Consequently, Miller could share No. 4 receiver duties with rookie Tez Johnson in what could be a pass-heavy gameplan for Tampa Bay. During Evans' Week 8-10 absence last season, Miller posted a 5-31-1 on 11 targets while logging 112 snaps during that span.

Gets into end zone Monday Miller secured his only target for a 20-yard touchdown in the Buccaneers' 20-19 win over the Texans on Monday night.

Impact Miller was in on 18 of 80 snaps from scrimmage and made good use of his one opportunity, coming down with a Baker Mayfield scoring strike along the back right of the end zone in the first quarter. The Furman product now has three touchdown receptions on 13 career NFL catches, but as the Buccaneers' receiver corps gets healthier in coming weeks with the anticipated season debuts of Chris Godwin (ankle) and Jalen McMillan (IR-neck), Miller will find snaps, targets and perhaps even active status hard to come by.

No catches over nine snaps Miller failed to bring in his only target in the Buccaneers' 23-20 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

Impact The reserve wideout logged just nine snaps, placing him ahead of only Tez Johnson (eight snaps) and Kameron Johnson (one snaps) in terms of the Bucs' wide receivers. Miller has sure hands and has proven a savvy route runner in the past, but he'd need multiple injuries in front of him to garner any fantasy relevance.

SEPTEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Two catches in preseason finale Miller brought in two of three targets for 18 yards in the Buccaneers' 23-19 preseason loss to the Bills on Saturday night.

Impact Miller recorded multiple catches for the third time in as many preseason games. The 25-year-old had a busy exhibition slate that saw him generate a 10-95 receiving line on 13 targets, but the Buccaneers' deep receiver depth chart may prove hard to crack come final cuts.

Leads air attack in preseason win Miller secured six of seven targets for 66 yards in the Buccaneers' 29-7 preseason win over the Titans on Saturday night.

Impact Miller comfortably led the Buccaneers in receptions, receiving yards and targets, making a strong preseason-opening case for securing a spot on the latter portion of the wide receiver depth chart for another season. The third-year pro wasted no time making an impact, recording a trio of 11-yard receptions during Tampa Bay's second possession and adding a 21-yard grab on the next drive, all while working with the night's starting QB, Kyle Trask. Miller will still have a significant uphill battle to garner meaningful snaps whenever the top quartet of Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Emeka Egbuka and Jalen McMillan are healthy, but Miller's reliable routes and hands could put him over the top if he's on the bubble come the end of preseason.

AUGUST 11 • ROTOWIRE

First catches of career in '24 Miller brought in 12 of 20 targets for 128 yards and two touchdowns across 11 regular-season games in 2024.

Impact The second-year undrafted free agent's stats were the first of his career after he played just two snaps from scrimmage during his one regular-season appearance as a rookie in 2023. Miller recorded multiple catches on three separate occasions and also had a 39-yard grab on his first NFL catch in Week 6. Miller should have a good opportunity of sticking on the roster as a reserve option again in 2025, considering he's under contract for a mere $960,000.

Back to reserve role in Week 18 Miller logged eight snaps on offense and did not see a target during the Buccaneers' 27-19 win over the Saints on Sunday.

Impact Miller had filled the No. 3 receiver role in Week 17 against the Panthers with Sterling Shepard sidelined due to hamstring and foot injuries, and he'd also recorded a key late fourth-quarter touchdown grab in a narrow Week 16 loss to the Cowboys. However, with Shepard back in uniform Sunday, Miller didn't have any offensive highlights, going without a catch for the first time since Week 14. The undrafted Furman product finished his second season with his first 12 NFL receptions, which he took for for 128 yards and a pair of touchdowns, across 11 games. Miller is likely to remain in a deep reserve and special-teams role during the upcoming postseason.

JANUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Fills No. 3 receiver role Sunday Miller secured two of four targets for 26 yards in the Buccaneers' 48-14 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Impact Miller operated as the No. 3 receiver Sunday with Sterling Shepard sidelined due to hamstring and foot injuries, and the Furman product fittingly finished with 43 snaps (56%), just behind starters Mike Evans (48, 62%) and Jalen McMillan (53, 69%). Miller turned in a modest line overall but managed to record multiple catches for a second straight game, and he figures to reprise his role in a Week 18 home matchup versus the Saints if Shepard remains sidelined.

DECEMBER 31, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Catches late TD in loss Miller secured both targets for 17 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 26-24 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday night.

Impact Miller played on 33 snaps (46 percent), but he had only one catch on the night when he got wide open near the back of the end zone for a 13-yard strike from Baker Mayfield that narrowed the Cowboys' deficit to two points. The scoring grab also gave Miller multiple catches for the second time on the season, but he exclusively remains an option for those in very deep leagues and a DFS dart throw heading into a Week 17 home matchup against the Panthers.

DECEMBER 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

One catch in Week 15 win Miller brought in his only target for one yard in the Buccaneers' 40-17 win over the Chargers on Sunday.

Impact Miller logged 15 snaps (21 percent), his most since Week 12, and recorded his first catch since that game as well. However, with Mike Evans, Jalen McMillan and Sterling Shepard healthy firmly entrenched as the top three options at wide receiver and the Trey Palmer-Rakim Jarrett duo seemingly ahead of him as well most weeks, Miller has no fantasy value for the foreseeable future.

DECEMBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Clear from concussion check Miller (head) isn't listed on Tampa Bay's injury report Wednesday, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Miller was evaluated for a concussion near the end of Sunday's game against Las Vegas, but he appears to have come out clean given his lack of a designation on the first practice report of this week. Miller should thus be fine to resume his regular role as a depth wideout while also working on special teams Sunday versus the Chargers.

DECEMBER 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Exits game Sunday Miller is being evaluated for a concussion, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Miller exited the game in the fourth quarter and is now questionable to return. If he ends up being unable to return, Rakim Jarrett could see an uptick in playing time.

DECEMBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back to reduced role Sunday Miller brought in his only target for 14 yards in the Buccaneers' 30-7 win over the Giants on Sunday.

Impact Miller saw a precipitous in playing time with Mike Evans and Jalen McMillan returning to action from their respective hamstring injuries. The Furman product went from a season-high 50 snaps in Week 10 against the 49ers to a season-low 15 (23 percent) on Sunday, but it appears the Buccaneers may continue to keep six wide receivers active on occasion down the stretch as they did against the Giants. In such an instance, Miller, who's now posted at least one catch in five straight games, would figure to continue garnering active status and working as a No. 5 or No. 6 receiver.
