Anthony Miller Week 4 Outlook - Patriots at Chiefs

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Tue, Sep 29th 2020, 3:04pm EDT

The Bears got Miller on the field a lot more last week, though much of it came due to them falling behind big early in that game. He's playing slot-only which means he comes on the field for 3WR sets, which the Bears run 57 percent of the time. He's unfortunately not a full-time player, and that's a shame considering he's a very talented player. The Colts have Kenny Moore defending the slot, a fourth-year cornerback who's been their most stable presence at cornerback over the last few years. But the Colts do play a lot of zone, and that's allowed slot receivers to be quite efficient with their targets. So far, it's been Keelan Cole 5/47/1 on five targets, Justin Jefferson 3/44/0 on three targets, and Braxton Berrios 4/64/1 on four targets. That's about as efficient as it gets. Unfortunately, opponents have run an average just 51.3 plays per game, so if Miller is on the field just over half the time, that's around 30 snaps expected, which is not enough to play him confidently. He's a risky WR4/5-type option.
