Von Miller Fantasy

Buffalo Bills standout pass-rusher Von Miller (knee) underwent surgery to fix an ACL tear and will now miss the rest of the year, according to head coach Sean McDermott. Miller was already placed on Injured Reserve after injuring his knee on Thanksgiving Day, but the team was hoping to get him back for a deep playoff run. That won't happen now, and it's a big blow to the Bills defense the rest of the way. The 33-year-old former Super Bowl MVP will finish his first season in Buffalo with eight sacks, 21 tackles (18 solo), 10 tackles for loss, 12 QB hits, two passes defensed and one forced fumble in 11 starts. It remains to be seen if he'll be ready for training camp next summer. Fantasy managers in single-year IDP leagues can safely dump Miller now.

The Buffalo Bills placed linebacker Von Miller (knee) on Injured Reserve on Thursday, knocking him out for at least four games. Miller said this week that he was hoping to return before the Week 14 game against the New York Jets on Dec. 11, but that was clearly too optimistic. The Bills didn't want to rush their star pass-rusher back, and they hope that he can return for the stretch run. Fantasy managers in single-year IDP leagues can probably safely drop Miller at this point. The 33-year-old has 21 tackles, eight sacks and a forced fumble in 11 games in his first year in Buffalo, so losing him for the next four games will be a big blow to the Bills defense. However, they're still worth streaming in Thursday night's divisional clash against the New England Patriots.

Buffalo Bills star pass-rusher Von Miller (knee), who is dealing with a lateral meniscus injury that he suffered in the Thanksgiving Day win over the Detroit Lions, said he's hoping to be ready before the Week 14 game against the New York Jets. "Just going to wait a little bit, wait a little bit, let the swelling go down for about seven to 10 days. And hopefully right before the Jets game, I will be back," Miller said. The 33-year-old was carted off the field in Week 12 and will be re-examined next week, but there's no guarantee he'll be ready to go against the Jets. He avoided a dreaded ACL tear, but Miller is expected to require surgery at some point to address his meniscus tear. Buffalo's defense will still be relevant in fantasy, but they won't have as much upside for however long Miller is sidelined.
