Fantasy football waiver wire-Week 11 pickups

Zach Miller-TE-Chicago Bears (0.0%)

Before the last two weeks, Zach Miller was primarily known because you had to be careful not to accidentally draft him instead of the Zach Miller on the Seahawks who had fantasy potential a few years ago.  This Zach Miller was drafted out of Nebraska-Omaha by the Jaguars and battled injury for several years before joining the Bears and suddenly becoming one of Jay Cutler’s favorite weapons.

Miller caught the game-winning score in week 9 on Monday Night Football finishing with 23 yards on two catches.  He didn’t get a ton of attention last week since it seemed a little fluky, but he erased that notion with a monster game in week 10 against the Rams.  He had two more touchdowns and hauled in all five of his targets for 107 yards.

Miller is still high risk since he has come out of nowhere and is still the number two tight end on the Bears behind Martellus Bennett. We have seen Jay Cutler do this before, though, locking in to one receiver and developing an A+ connection which gives him definite potential.  He’s still a flier, but if you’re desperate at tight end there isn’t a hotter option.
