The Seattle Times doesn't envision the Seahawks cutting TE Zach Miller.

We don't, either. Miller has a mammoth cap number for 2013 as he's due a $6.8 million salary and a $3 million roster bonus, but he was finally starting to come on in the latter stages of the 2012 season, capping it off with an eight-catch, 142-yard, one-score Divisional Round playoff game outburst against the Falcons. He should be in line for a bigger role on offense this coming season.

Zach Miller hauled in eight receptions for 142 yards and a touchdown on a team-high nine targets in Sunday's Divisional round loss at Atlanta.

Where has this been the past two years? Miller has been more involved in the passing game over the past two months, but his previous single-game Seahawks high was 59 yards. The Falcons essentially left the seam open in an effort to stop Marshawn Lynch and Sidney Rice, and Russell Wilson obliged by with big play after big play to his tight end. Miller does have sleeper appeal for next season if the Seahawks keep opening up the passing game, but he's no more than a late-round flier in fantasy drafts.

Zach Miller led the Seahawks with 48 yards on four receptions in Sunday's Wild Card round victory over the Redskins.

His six targets also led the team against a defense that struggled to contain tight ends all season. Miller's 22-yard catch-and-run on third down set up Marshawn Lynch's 27-yard go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter. The receiving yards were his second-highest total of the season.
