Braxton Miller Fantasy Stats

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Braxton Miller caught three of his six targets for 19 yards in his team's 20-16 preseason win over the Detroit Lions on Thursday. Miller, who signed with the team the previous week, is trying to survive final cuts when the team has to trim the roster to 53 players on Saturday. Cleveland.com's Mary Kay Cabot believes Miller may have done enough to survive final cuts while general manager John Dorsey praised him on air during the telecast. Even if Miller makes the team, he would need several injuries ahead of him to become fantasy relevant.

The Cleveland Browns signed free-agent wide receiver Braxton Miller on Wednesday. The former Ohio State star spent two years with the Texans and was on the Eagles practice squad in 2018. He tallied 34 receptions for 261 yards and two touchdowns in 21 games over his two seasons with Houston. He'll represent depth for a talented receiving group in Cleveland that includes Odell Beckham Jr., Jarvis Landry, Rashard Higgins, Antonio Callaway and Jaelen Strong. It's unlikely that Miller will make his way into fantasy relevance among this group if he makes the final roster.

The Philadelphia Eagles signed wide receiver Braxton Miller, formerly of the Texans, to their practice squad. Miller was a third round pick in the 2016 draft but never amounted to much as a member of Houston's squad. He's clearly talented, though, and the Eagles will hope he develops into a useful piece. With Alshon Jeffery (shoulder) still a few weeks away from returning and Mack Hollins (groin) on injured reserve, the Eagles really needed some depth at wide receiver. Breshad Perriman and Kamar Aiken are scheduled to work out for the team this week as well.

The Houston Texans have cut wide receiver Braxton Miller. With six receivers vying for five spots, the team had a tough choice to make, ultimately choosing to part ways with Miller, a former college quarterback who had struggled at times to make the adjustment to wide receiver in the NFL. The Texans reportedly explored trade scenarios for Miller, but when nothing materialized decided to cut ties with the 2016 third round pick. He could end up on a wide receiver needy team and carve out a role, but at this point he shouldn't be rostered in anything but deep, dynasty leagues. His departure opens up more playing time in Houston for rookie slot receiver Keke Coutee and likely ensures that both Bruce Ellington and Sammie Coates make the team.

Houston Texans wide receiver Braxton Miller, who is a converted quarterback, has been a favorite of head coach Bill O'Brien and is expected to make the final roster cut, especially with rookie Keke Coutee injured. Miller has struggled as a slot receiver, mainly due to injuries, but he should make the team. He's behind DeAndre Hopkins, Will Fuller and Bruce Ellington, though, so he's not draft-worthy in standard-sized leagues.

Houston Texans wide receiver Braxton Miller pulled in three of his team-high five targets on Saturday against the Rams, finishing with 26 yards and catching a touchdown pass from quarterback Brandon Weeden. Miller lined up at multiple receiving spots during the game, showcasing his versatility and helping to ensure that he has a role on the team even if Keke Coutee or Bruce Ellington claim the team's slot job. Determining Miller's fantasy value is difficult until more clarity emerges about the WR3 spot in Houston, but the best estimate at this point is that Miller would need an injury ahead of him on the depth chart to grab a big enough role with the team to make a difference. He's best left on the waiver wire at this point.

Houston Texans wide receiver Braxton Miller was targeted eight times against the San Francisco 49ers in Saturday's preseason victory, hauling in three balls for 40 yards. Miller is locked in a battle for the team's slot receiver job with rookie Keke Coutee and Bruce Ellington, who caught a touchdown from starting quarterback Deshaun Watson Saturday on Watson's only drive. At this point, it seems that both Ellington and the currently injured Coutee (hamstring) have a better chance of winning the job than Miller. Unless something changes, he isn't worth being rostered in anything but deep dynasty formats.

Houston Texans wide receiver Braxton Miller is back at practice after missing the past few practices with illness. Miller, a college quarterback who started playing receiver as a senior at Ohio State, heads into his third NFL season with the Texans as he looks to finally make an impact for the team. The Texans have a three way battle going for the WR3 spot with Miller, Bruce Ellington, and rookie Keke Coutee, who is currently out with hamstring injury. Whoever ultimately earns the job will have deep league potential out of the slot for a Texans team that projects to throw the ball a ton with quarterback Deshaun Watson healthy.

Houston Texans wide receiver Braxton Miller has been making a case for a roster spot in training camp so far. He has had an encouraging camp and has shown his versatility and more consistent hands. Miller is facing competition for the slot role from rookie Keke Coutee, who is now sidelined a few weeks with a strained hamstring. "Hes come a long ways in the years hes been here," head coach Bill O'Brien said. "Again, hes going to have to go out there and continue to get better and improve, but I do see a lot of improvement with him. Miller had a career-high 19 catches for 162 yards and one touchdown in 2017, but he's played in just 21 games in his two seasons because of injuries. If he wins the slot job outright to open the year, he might be worth a late-round flier in deeper leagues.

Houston Texans wide receiver Braxton Miller must stay healthy and produce in 2018 in order to make the roster out of training camp. He will have a lot of competition and will be pushed by Chris Thompson and Sammie Coates. Rookie Keke Coutee is a lock for the roster. The 25-year-old Miller hasn't done much in his first two years and has only played in 21 games due to injuries. He has 34 catches for 261 yards and two touchdowns in two years and can be avoided in fantasy drafts.
