QB Ben Roethlisberger on TE Heath Miller being fully he...

Jun 16, 2014

QB Ben Roethlisberger on TE Heath Miller being fully healthy for practices to date (Miller was recovering from his right knee injury and missed the OTAs and minicamp last year): “(It’s) huge, the way he has looked. He has looked healthy right from the get-go, looks kind of like the old Heath. One of the practices, he caught a pass about 12 yards downfield and made a move and actually made a guy miss and he finished all the way down the field. That was the Heath Miller we love to see. “

Fantasy Impact:

Miller finished as the #4 TE in 2012, but wasn't able to crack the top 20 in 2010, 2011 or 2013. His value is touchdown dependent, but it's good to hear that he's moving around better than last season. He's a TE2 streaming option.

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
