• Buccaneers' Ryan Miller: Back to reduced role Sunday

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Miller brought in his only target for 14 yards in the Buccaneers' 30-7 win over the Giants on Sunday. Miller saw a precipitous drop 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.

• Buccaneers' Ryan Miller: One catch in Week 10 loss

  16D ago • By RotoWire

  Miller secured one of three targets for 11 yards in the Buccaneers' 23-20 loss to the 49ers on Sunday. Miller once again was 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.

• Buccaneers' Ryan Miller: Notches first career TD

  21D ago • By RotoWire

  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. 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.

• Buccaneers' Ryan Miller: Three receptions in reserve role

  30D ago • By RotoWire

  Miller brought in three of five targets for 19 yards in the Buccaneers' 31-26 loss to the Falcons on Sunday. The Furman product was in on 30 snaps (41.0 percent), logging 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.

• Buccaneers' Ryan Miller: Moves up to active roster

  10/12/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Buccaneers elevated Miller from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports. Miller is getting his first elevation of the campaign due to fellow wideouts Trey Palmer (concussion) and Kameron Johnson (ankle) being 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.
