Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Miller, who is adept at both blocking and receiving and could make an impact right away -- although it remains to be seen how productive he can actually be as a receiver in Pittburgh. ... The main limitation at this point is the team's reluctance to throw to their tight end. It's also worth noting that Miller has struggled when accelerating off the line and his 40 time of 4.77 seconds disappointed some scouts. He also had surgery for a sports hernia in early January, although head coach Bill Cowher says that's not a concern. ... On the plus side, Miller last season became the first player in ACC history to win the Mackey Award as the nation's top college tight end after making 41 catches for 541 yards and five touchdowns. He also set ACC career records for tight ends in receptions (144), receiving yards (1,703) and touchdowns (20).
