Scott Miller's roadblock is that the slot apparently isn't accessible with all this hype that Godwin will be playing the Fitzgerald role for Arians, i.e. he'll live in the slot in 3-wide.

The position ostensibly up for grabs in 3-wide is the other outside spot opposite Evans. Not only is Miller obviously not an outside-receiver in profile, he didn't play on the outside in college, either (in contrast to Lockett).

So Miller is definitely a deep dive. Seemingly, he'd need Godwin to go down before he could matter to us.

I agree he's worth watch-listing, though. Thanks for the heads up, OP.

Basically, if you shut your eyes to these guys - then every once in a while, you miss out on a potential gem. Thats how you find Thielen, Lindsay, Prescott and/or Kittles* on other teams rosters than yours.

The most important thing is to remember to (a) not overload your roster with these guys and (b) make a decision on when you're comfortable moving on.

Basically if you have a 25 man roster, stashing 2-3 Scott Millers is perfectly fine. However if your roster is comprised of 10 of them - either you really just finished a total teardown, or you're leaving safe/better/easier to trade assets to other owners.

* - Some forget Kittles ADP going into the 2017 season was sub 200 and he was rarely taken in 4 round rookie drafts.

This is sound advice.

Don't get too attached in belief that they will turn out, but don't ignore them altogether. Probably the hardest part is figuring out when the lotto ticket you have isn't a winner and when to grab another one.

Speaking of roster spots and such... I got Miller off of waivers after my 16 team, 2QB, IDP league's 7 round draft (53 man rosters). I could do so, because I started a team blowup like I have never done in my 10+ (don't want to count) years of playing dynasty.

Something I learned in the process is the value of roster spots. I have made trades of an LB for a 3rd or something like that. I probably didn't win the trade, but I knew what the LB was at this point and he was going no higher. But I got a 3rd AND a free roster spot (as well as a LB that isn't scoring my blowup team points). That free roster spot went to someone like rookie Justin Hollins, LB Denver. He may not pan out. However, if he does, I have the 3rd and Hollins.

I have done this many times over on this team and have a TON of fliers. It's so exciting!! I have never been in the position to have so many and the flexibility to bail on any a any given time through the season for the next shiny object. If I had held that LB, it would be problematic to find a way to get the shiny object.

Obviously, that part won't work for every dynasty team but it's just another variable/method for grabbing/holding someone like Miller.

I think you should go back and watch tape on the guy. Yes, he is a deep sleeper but the guy played on the outside and wasn’t relegated to just the slot in college. In fact he will be playing on the outside in the DJax spot (Z/Flanker) and Godwin will move into the slot during three wide sets. His style, speed fits perfectly for the Arians offense and he prefers playing on the outside.

Already watched the cut-up of two games. The overwhelming majority of snaps were slot.

He got snaps on the outside whenever it was 1 or 2-wide, which wasn't often.
In fact he will be playing on the outside in the DJax spot
In fact you don't know this, and he hasn't officially climbed the chart past Perriman, Watson, Lodge (all more logical options to play on the outside). Especially Perriman, who's been explicitly stated to be a lock to make the 53 with his fully guaranteed contract.
he prefers playing on the outside
I doubt he's actually said this, but you're welcome to source it.

What I do know has been said, is Arians stating Miller would "give [the Bucs] speed in the slot."

Scotty Miller is starting to get more snaps and is on the verge of overtaking Bobo Wilson for the three spot. He went from one or two snaps a game to 11% two weeks ago to 37% last week. There are rumours that the Bucs may look to cut Breshad Perriman in order to game the compensatory pick formula:

Still no idea why the team hates Justin Watson, but he can’t seem to get more than a snap or two a game. I was surprised to see Bobo ahead of either of these guys, but it appears we may finally be approaching Miller time.

And he finished with a 60% snap share this week and seems to have officially passed Bobo on the depth chart. There is some best ball upside here.

Bobo Wilson cut. I suspect this means Perriman is sticking and is healthy. Will be interesting to see how the depth chart looks when the Bucs return from the bye.

Digging up this topic since Scotty just got some playing time and played pretty well. I scooped him up off waivers and I'm kinda excited about him. He culd be a good deep threat for Jameis. I feel like Evans and Godwin require a lot of attention which might open up some opportunities for Miller. Or vice versa, he might only open things up for Evans and Godwin. What do you guys think??

I’m still very much on the bandwagon. He’s still splitting time with Perriman which isn’t optimal, but Perriman is not good and has less yards with more than double the snaps. Arians will eventually wake up and fully bench Perriman if he hasn’t made that decision already.

Am I crazy in thinking that it may be hard for them to keep Godwin after next year? If they sign Winston to an extension I don’t think it would be out of the question that they can’t pay Godwin, Evans, and Winston... and if Godwin leaves then that’s a lot of opportunity for another player to step up. If they let Winston walk then they draft a rookie and sign Godwin... leaving few targets to go around.

Good deep stash, but I think he needs some things to fall right in the next year for him to really become relevant.

I still remember that early season rumor/speculation that there was a top tier WR who was surprisingly "on the block", or something like that. Rappoport, I think? Regardless, clearing Evans and his contract would give them the cap space to retain their guys and free targets for Godwin and Miller.

This and Miller is on several of my teams. Why roster a WR5 tier vet for a bye week when you can take a chance on someone who's ceiling is yet unknown? Always try to get a few "could be" guys on the roster rather than keeping cloggers rostered.
