Heath Miller secured six passes for 53 yards and a touchdown in the Steelers' Week 7 win over the Bengals.
Miller spent most of the first half on the line helping rookie RT Mike Adams block Bengals LEs Robert Geathers and Carlos Dunlap, but he got free against CB Terence Newman for a red-zone touchdown at the end of the second quarter. The Steelers went for two, and Miller caught a fade ball for the additional points on the next play. Padding his stats in the fourth quarter, Miller streaked down the seam uncovered for a gain of 30. Miller remains ideally a TE2 in fantasy leagues, but you could do much worse for weekly fallback options.
Definitely a TE1. Keep in mind the fact that none of the Steeler WR's are ideal red-zone targets. Wallace is not a precise route-runner and can get the dropsies, and Brown has, what, 4 career TD's? Miller is their best bet for red zone looks. And I agree about Haley installing more of a quick-passing attack.

Heath poppin off right when I need him. Definitely a solid TE2, and a low tier TE1.

Not too sure about that, I have him ranked above average TE1 in deep leagues.

He has 5 tds this year. I think he's a solid TE1

Agreed. And if I listened to everyone saying he would be spending the game blocking.

I think I would call him an above average to lower top-end TE1, he has saved me from the Finley pick I started the year with!

I picked him up when Hernandez went down, now I am not sure which one to play!
