Who Should I Start? Ryan Miller or Bub Means

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Ryan Miller caught two passes for 17 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 16 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. The Furman product has not been a dependable fantasy option this season, but he has shown promise at times. In Week 8, he converted five targets into three receptions. The next week, he caught his first career touchdown. One week later, he played 85 percent of the snaps. As the Buccaneers scrambled to replace Chris Godwin (ankle), Miller was one of the candidates to get more involved, but he's still a few rungs below players like Jalen McMillan, Sterling Shepard, and Trey Palmer in the pecking order.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Bub Means (ankle) said that he was cleared from his ankle injury in late January and is back to full speed as he prepares for his sophomore season in 2025. Means suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 8 and then had a setback that cost him the final nine games in the second half. The 24-year-old fifth-round pick (170th overall) caught nine of his 15 targets for 118 yards (13.1 yards per reception) and one touchdown in his seven games played (one start) in his first year in the NFL for the Saints. The Pittsburgh product emerged as an intriguing downfield threat for New Orleans in his rookie season and won't be hindered by his ankle this offseason as he prepares for what will hopefully be a bigger role in 2025. Means will most likely be a boom/bust receiver for fantasy purposes for a Saints team that still hasn't settled on a new head coach.
