The Athletic interviewed three unnamed scouts who broke down Anthony Miller:

Anthony Miller has been hyped by Matt Nagy and Scout B says, “Anthony Miller needs to step up. I really liked him in college. I thought he was similar to Jarvis Landry coming out, but he hasn’t stayed healthy. Then again, this is only his third year. Davante Adams took off his third year, maybe he can too.”

Scout A likes Miller’s talent, but not his consistency thus far.

“He hasn’t put it together,” he says. “He’s small, and he plays small. He runs good routes underneath, and he’s savvy, but he’s had some careless drops.”

The scouts agree Miller hasn't put it together yet and needs to step up, however they seem to think it's still possible he can. Miller is ranked want down our list at 45 among WRs so he's perhaps a later-round target in you fantasy draft. QB play will likely play a factor this season when it comes to Miller's fantasy production.

Tuesday was the first time that Anthony Miller was inserted to close-to-live team drills.

The story added Miller was noticeable, too, making several catches throughout the day in various drills. In his second season, Miller improved on his 33-423-7 rookie season with 52-656-2 as a sophomore. He played behind Taylor Gabriel when Gabriel was healthy, and the Bears signed Ted Ginn to replace Gabriel, so it remains to be seen just how much they’ll utilize Miller. But when they’ve called upon him, he has delivered. In seven games that Gabriel missed, Miller averaged 4.1-53-0.29 on 6.4 targets compared to just 2.6-32-0.0 on a meager 4.4 targets when Gabriel was active.

The Bears could use Ted Ginn's speed after cutting ties with Taylor Gabriel earlier this offseason. Aside from Allen Robinson, Chicago's wide receiver room is full of what-ifs and maybes. Anthony Miller might evolve into an exceptional playmaker this season, or he could continue his pattern of inconsistent and frustrating play.

Even those who follow the Bears don't expect him to light up the scoreboard, as the story put it, but it seems the Bears are hoping the threat of Ginn's speed can open up space for Robinson and new TE Jimmy Graham.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson sustained a concussion in the first half vs. the Vikings. Receiver Anthony Miller suffered a shoulder injury and did not return.

Miller really came on during the last month of the season but was still mostly up and down overall, finishing with 51 catches, 651 yards and two TDs. His two TDs both came in December and his two, 100 yard receiving games also happened over the final five games. But the bad was eight games with under 15 receiving yards.

The Bears will play their starters the final two games, per Matt Nagy.

The Bears play the Chiefs and Vikings in Weeks 16 and 17 and it looks like owners will be safe to play Bear players over this stretch if they need to. Something to keep in mind is the Vikings could rest their starters if they clinch by Week 17.
