Ryan Miller - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

NOVEMBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

One catch in Week 10 loss Miller secured one of three targets for 11 yards in the Buccaneers' 23-20 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

Impact Miller was once again active with Mike Evans (hamstring) still out and Jalen McMillan available but not playing any snaps. Miller logged a robust 52 snaps (85 percent), but as his final line substantiates, he couldn't make much of an impact. The Furman product now has at least one reception in four consecutive games, but with both Evans and McMillan thought to have a good chance of suiting up following the Week 11 bye, Miller's days on the active roster may be numbered.

NOVEMBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Notches first career TD Miller played 34 of the Buccaneers' 55 snaps on offense and finished with one catch for a one-yard reception on three targets in Monday's 30-24 overtime loss to the Chiefs.

Impact Miller finished second among Tampa Bay receivers in snap share, though he benefited from Jalen McMillan (hamstring) and Mike Evans (hamstring) both being inactive for the contest. Evans will remain out for Sunday's game against the 49ers, but McMillan's potential return could result in a downturn in playing time for Miller, whose short-yardage score salvaged an otherwise uninspiring receiving line in Monday's win. Through three appearances this season, Miller has played 94 total snaps but has produced just five receptions for 59 yards on nine targets.

Three receptions in reserve role Miller brought in three of five targets for 19 yards in the Buccaneers' 31-26 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.

Impact The Furman product was in on 30 snaps (41 percent), appearing on the fourth-most plays from scrimmage in the Buccaneers' short-handed receiving corps. Miller has shown well with his limited opportunities across his two regular-season appearances this season, and the fact Mike Evans (hamstring) will remain out through the Week 11 bye and Chris Godwin (IR-ankle) is out for the rest of the regular season should continue affording the second-year wideout opportunity to remain on the 53- man roster.

Moves to active roster Miller was signed to the Buccaneers' 53-man roster from their practice squad Wednesday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Miller suited up Week 6 against the Saints and will now likely see more opportunities in the weeks ahead. With Mike Evans (hamstring) expected to miss at least three games and Chris Godwin (ankle) expected to miss the rest of the season, there are plenty of opportunities up for grabs in Tampa Bay's receiving corps.

OCTOBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Lands back on practice squad Miller reverted to Tampa Bay's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Miller was elevated off the practice squad ahead of Sunday's Week 6 win over New Orleans and logged 32 of the the team's 77 offensive snaps in the contest. The wideout caught his only target for a 39-yard gain on a drive that ended with a Tampa Bay touchdown. Miller's elevation was his first of the campaign, so he can be elevated twice more before the Buccaneers would need to sign him to the 53-man roster in order for him to suit up.

Moves up to active roster for Week 6 The Buccaneers elevated Miller from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Miller is getting his first elevation of the campaign with fellow wideouts Trey Palmer (concussion) and Kameron Johnson (ankle) already ruled out for Sunday's game against New Orleans. Jalen McMillan is also questionable for the contest due to a hamstring issue. Miller played in one contest with Tampa Bay last year, logging two offensive snaps without any targets and 12 special-teams snaps versus Carolina in Week 13.

OCTOBER 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Brought back by Tampa Miller signed with the Buccaneers' practice squad Thursday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Impact Miller failed to make the Buccaneers' initial 53-man roster Tuesday, but he's now been brought back as a practice squad player. The Furman product appeared in one game for the Buccaneers last season, recording no stats while playing 14 total snaps (two offensive and 12 on special teams).

Waived by Tampa Bay Miller was waived by the Buccaneers on Tuesday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Impact The wide receiver signed a reserve/future contract with the Bucs in January after spending 2023 on the team's practice squad. Miller did appear in one regular-season game last year, playing on 12 special-teams snaps and two offensive snaps.

Leads pass catchers in opener Miller secured three of five targets for 42 yards in the Buccaneers' 17-14 preseason loss to the Bengals on Saturday night.

Impact The second-year pro set the pace for the Buccaneers in receptions and receiving yards while sharing the team lead in targets. Miller was on the practice squad in 2023 but did log two snaps from scrimmage and 12 special-teams snaps in one regular-season game, and his current push to land a deep reserve receiver spot certainly got off to a strong start with Saturday's performance. However, Miller will have to continue standing out to have any chance of that occurring, considering he has formidable competition in the form of Rakim Jarrett, among others.
