Dynasty Summary: The mystery of Miller is certain to play out differently in fantasy drafts in 2016. The converted quarterback possesses an intriguing blend of agility, size, speed and dynamic and plays well above his experience level as a receiver. He’s a natural leaper and tracks the ball well from all angles. Miller’s upside is immense – as is his risk due to lack of experience. He’s not an accomplished route runner and tends to rely on his speed and agility to create separation and make plays. As he learns the finer points of playing receiver, he should develop quickly. He’s a leader, carries himself well under all circumstances and is an ultra-athletic player who offers a premier risk-reward selection in the top or middle of the second round in fantasy.
Rotoworld: 51. Where He Wins: The big question is if Miller is more than a manufactured touch player early on in his career, and if so can he play on the outside or strictly in the slot. Miller displayed natural receiving skills in his first game against Virginia Tech in terms of contorting his body to adjust for catches. OSU, perhaps because of quarterback play, attempted to force touches to him. Miller can create separation in his breaks (sometimes too many breaks) and is nasty with the ball in his hands.
Ohio State coach Urban Meyer: He has a great skill set. He was a back-to-back player of the year in the Big Ten. He's a very elusive player and has top-end speed. He was a great teammate; elected captain for us." --
