ANALYSIS: To be clear, I am not drinking the Tompa Bay Kool-Aid anywhere else. I have Gronk as a bust, Brady as overvalued, and will not reach for any Bucs running back, including Leonard Fournette.

I am buying the preseason hype on Miller. Ignore this as a cliche of the diminutive white slot receiver becoming Brady's target of choice, but it's based on years of factual evidence as well as very recent beat writer (Carmen Vitali) observations, who quoted Tom Brady saying "Scotty Miller is displaying things and showing everyone that he deserves a big role."

For the cost of... nothing, why not take a chance? With elite receivers Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, not to mention his favorite TE in Rob Gronkowski to throw to, Miller doesn't seem like a high-upside play right now. But never underestimate a speedy slot receiver in Tom Brady's presence, though. Wait and see what his target share looks like in the opener or make a pre-emptive claim on him if you have a spot open.
