Scott Miller WR | CHI
Buccaneers' Scotty Miller: Takes advantage of opportunity
Miller secured his only target for nine yards and rushed twice for 43 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 41-17 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
The third-year speedster had been an afterthought in the offense over the last several weeks, but he was able to finally make an impact on the final Sunday of the regular season. Miller used his elite wheels on a fourth-quarter end-around that saw him speed up the right side of the field and then tightrope the sideline to get just over the pylon for the score. Miller saw all of nine targets in nine games this season, but considering the depleted nature of Tampa Bay's receiving corps heading into the postseason, there's a chance he'll see some opportunities behind the top trio of Mike Evans, Breshad Perriman and Tyler Johnson, especially if Cyril Grayson (hamstring) is sidelined for Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Eagles.

Tyler Johnson WR | DAL
Buccaneers' Tyler Johnson: Modest receiving yardage in finale
Johnson secured five of seven targets for 22 yards in the Buccaneers' 41-17 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
The second-year wideout was certainly busy, tying with Mike Evans for second on the team in targets behind Rob Gronkowski. However, Johnson averaged just 4.4 yards per catch, leading to a decidedly underwhelming fantasy day. Despite the modest output, it's worth noting Johnson logged one more target and as many catches as veteran Breshad Perriman, so he should be expected to enjoy a solid role in the air attack once again versus the Eagles in Sunday's wild-card matchup.
