The Kansas City Chiefs signed free-agent wide receiver Anthony Miller to a Reserve/Futures deal on Wednesday. Miller will be a long shot to return to NFL action with Kansas City. The 29-year-old has not appeared in an NFL game since 2021, when he had just six catches on 12 targets for 25 yards and one touchdown in three games with the Houston Texans and Pittsburgh Steelers. Miller was taken in the second round of the 2018 draft out of Memphis and had seven touchdown receptions in his rookie season, but after that it was all downhill. He caught 101 passes for 1,141 yards and four touchdowns in 2019 and 2020 before jumping around the NFL with several different teams. Miller will be competing for a roster spot with the Chiefs in training camp and the preseason.
The Indianapolis Colts signed free-agent wide receiver Anthony Miller to their practice squad on Tuesday. Miller last popped up on an NFL roster with the San Francisco 49ers late in August but hasn't appeared in a game since Week 12 of the 2021 season, when he was a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Overall, Miller has 140 receptions for 1,589 yards and 12 touchdowns across 50 games. Miller will add some depth to the Colts' receiving corps in hopes of getting signed to the 53-man roster at some point during the 2023 season.
The San Francisco 49ers signed former Chicago Bears wide receiver Anthony Miller to an undisclosed deal on Monday, according to a source. Miller has also played for the Houston Texans and Pittsburgh Steelers and will be a big speed threat for head coach Kyle Shanahan's offense. He didn't see any action at all in the NFL last year. With the Texans and Steelers in 2021, Miller caught six of 12 targets for 25 yards and one touchdown in just three games (one start). The former second-round pick was released by the Steelers this summer but will hope to earn his way onto San Francisco's final roster entering the regular season. Miller remains well off the fantasy radar at this time.
The Pittsburgh Steelers released wide receiver Anthony Miller on Tuesday to make room for newly-signed linebacker Nick Kwiatkoski. Miller did not appear in any games for the Steelers in 2022 after injuring his shoulder last August. The 28-year-old notched 33 catches and seven touchdowns as a rookie with the Chicago Bears in 2018 but has struggled since leaving the team following the 2020 season. He will hope to catch on with another team as training camps open in late July.
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Anthony Miller was promoted to the 53-man roster on Saturday. The veteran joined the team's practice squad a few months ago but was elevated after tight end Eric Ebron (knee) recently landed on Injured Reserve. However, it's expected that Miller won't get much action in Week 12 against the Cincinnati Bengals, especially since he will battle for targets with Diontae Johnson, Chase Claypool, Najee Harrisand Pat Freiermuth. As a result, fantasy managers needing to fill a void should certainly look elsewhere.
The Pittsburgh Steelers signed wide receiver Anthony Miller and defensive tackle Isaiah Mack to their practice squad on Tuesday. In a corresponding move, the team released nose tackle Eli Ankou from the practice squad. Miller caught five passes on 11 targets for 23 yards and a touchdown in just two games with the Houston Texans before getting cut. In his third and final season with the Chicago Bears in 2020, Miller had 49 catches on 76 targets for 485 yards and two touchdowns in 16 games (six starts). The 27-year-old will provide valuable depth now that JuJu Smith-Schuster (shoulder) is likely out for the rest of the season. Miller could eventually join Pittsburgh's active roster, but he'll have much more competition for playing time than he did in his short stint with Houston.
Anthony Miller Expected To Sign With Jaguars Practice Squad
The Jacksonville Jaguars are expected to sign former Houston Texans wide receiver Anthony Miller to the practice squad. Houston released Miller last Wednesday after trading a late-round draft pick to acquire the receiver. The 27-year-old caught 5-of-11 targets for 23 yards and a touchdown over two games for the Texans in 2021. Miller could see an expanded role with Jacksonville once promoted to the 53-man roster. DJ Chark (ankle) is on injured reserve, and the expected signing of Miller was more for depth purposes. Fantasy managers can leave Miller on the waiver wire in most league formats.
The Houston Texans cut wide receiver Anthony Miller on Wednesday, according to a league source. The Texans acquired Miller from the Chicago Bears several months ago, but they have already decided to move on. He suffered a dislocated shoulder in the preseason and wasn't active the first two weeks of the regular season. In Miller's two starts out of the slot, the 26-year-old had just five catches on 11 targets for 23 yards and a touchdown while taking passes from rookie quarterback Davis Mills. Brandin Cooks leads Houston's receivers with 39 targets through four games, with Miller coming in second with his 11 looks. Veteran slot man Danny Amendola (thigh) could be returning soon from injury to replace Miller, but no receiver besides Cooks should be trusted in fantasy in this offense.
Houston Texans wide receiver Anthony Miller caught just one of five targets for three yards in Sunday's 40-0 loss to the Bills. Miller saw the second-most targets on the team, but they didn't amount to much fantasy production, given Davis Mills' poor play. The former Bear has tallied five receptions on 11 targets for 23 yards and a touchdown in two games for Houston so far. Miller has a solid role in the offense but essentially has no upside given the state of the Texans offense.
Houston Texans wide receiver Anthony Miller will look to keep things going in Week 4 against Buffalo after a solid debut a week ago. Miller played 64 percent of the snaps while hauling in four receptions and a touchdown in his Week 3 debut. With Danny Amendola (thigh) still banged up, Miller is in line to be the primary slot receiver once again, albeit in a tough matchup against a Bills defense that has allowed the second-fewest fantasy points per game to wideouts. The former Bear could have some sneaky flex value in Week 4, particularly if Buffalo commits most of their resources to stop Brandin Cooks.
