Zach Miller - OAK Homers Please Help (1 Viewer)

I was in the pool

I've watched all the Raiders' games this year (shortcuts), but can't recall what has been up with Zach Miller lately. I know he was dinged up for a while as being nice and hot opening the year. Bloom has him high up on the rankings this week and I wonder what is up with the sudden bounce back?

Miller was great for the 7 weeks, then hurt. Then got only 1 target in weeks 12 and 13. Is he being asked to block a lot more? Are the wide receivers getting more targets (Ford's development?) or just random?

He's finally getting healthier. Last week showed that he is finally getting back to being more involved in their passing game. With Denver this week, he should put up good numbers.

We'll need to throw? :lol: I am thisclose to starting McFadden AND Bush instead of McFadden and Peterson.
Don't do it! I too have McFadden/Bush/ADP and wont consider starting Bush. Ride the ponies that got you here.

As for Miller, what can you say? He is Oakland's #1 receiving target. He should produce some decent stats for a TE. Just wont make or break you.

 
i think his lack of targets in 12 and 13 were due to his injury. he couldnt run well so he was just used as a blocker.

 
He had a really debilitating foot injury. Last week he was finally healthy and put up 10 PPR points. I expect about the same. I agree that the game plan against Denver will be fun so I don't expect huge numbers from Miller, but he should catch 4 for 40 at least.

He looks good, getting better each week. I predict a score this week.

RNI effed up bad. Sorry, any consolation is that my entire season is going into the toilet. I had a 13-1 team go down to a 8-6 waiver wire team that eeked into the playoffs. Would have beaten any of the other 2 seeds. It's no excuse I know.

:bag: :cry:

Just messin with ya bro. NOTHING I did differently this week would have mattered.I led the league in points, and I am getting rolled 181-124 at the moment. Such is the fantasy game....

 
How did Miller look last week? He had 7 targets for 4/39 but I didn't watch the game. Is he full healthy? I thought he had plantar fascitis, but I could be wrong.
FWIW, he looked real good. He had 2 called back on penatlies. One was a 30 yarder. He should have had a much better game scoring. I am playing him again with confidence over my backup J. Graham. Also late in the game in a critical 4th and 2, he caught a 5 yarder that salted the game away. They trust him when the game is on the line.

I normally wouldn't do this, but it's Super Bowl week and anyone reading this thread has Miller and is playing for $$$, so.... would anyone of you start him over Vernon?

I'm starting him over Owen Daniels and that's with AJ possibly not playing. I just feel like the Raider Passing Attack is geared toward Miller unlike the Texans. Besides, OD splits alot of time with Dreesen...I want a guy that'll be in for all the snap! Oh and I'm from Houston so the homer factor could've pushed me to pick OD! I win this week I win BIG BUCKS!!!!Zach Thriller all day!!!!

;) As usual by you with anything Raider related. I liked what I saw last week, and I'm starting Zach over Pettigrew.
