Braxton Miller was a QB who converted to WR at Ohio State. He flashed big play ability there.
He clearly wasn't quite ready to just step right in at the pro level as a rookie. And one could say because of his position conversion it should take him a little extra time to get his NFL-legs under him at WR.
He has a young star WR at #1 on the team and a young star QB to throw the ball next year.
He came on the last two weeks and then got a concussion. So, he's cheap, if not free as a free agent in many leagues right now.
What are your thoughts? A good stash for 2018?

As a Will Fuller owner, I would also say that there's a 2nd very good WR on the team who will eat into targets and success. Miller is a long shot, but def worth it at the right (i.e. pretty cheap) price.

Re: Braxton Miller - sleeper for 2018?
I agree. They are stacked at WR talent in Houston. If only they had a QB going into next year who could spread the ball around...wait...Cult of Dionysus wrote: ↑Wed Dec 06, 2017 8:24 pm As a Will Fuller owner, I would also say that there's a 2nd very good WR on the team who will eat into targets and success.

I think the guy to buy might be Miller out of the three WR's right now. He's by far the cheapest and was once referred to as possibly the best athlete in all of college football. If that offense develops as indicated this year, look out next year. Miller might find his way into low WR2 to mid WR3 fantasy numbers and he's dirt cheap right now.

Miller has had time this year to prove something, and still hasn't . He's already 25 and there are two better, much better, receivers on that team. Only if you can have him for peanuts and a deep roster.

Bruce Ellington > Braxton Miller
Re: Braxton Miller - sleeper for 2018?
Worth an add from waivers but I wouldn't trade for him. Hopkins and Fuller are significantly better options not to mention a receiving RB in Lamar Miller. Can't see Braxton Miller carrying any kind of real value.
If you can't leave at least a 20% tip, you can't afford to eat out.
