Ryan Miller News
Saturday, September 26, 4:47 AM
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Ryan Miller only played seven offensive snaps in Week 2 against the 49ers, mostly after the game was decided. He did deliver one of the team's biggest plays of the season, though, by catching his only target for a 77-yard touchdown strike from Malik Willis. That was Willis's only passing touchdown of the season in the first two weeks, and Miller will look to turn that success into more opportunities going forward. The fourth-year receiver from Furman is officially listed as questionable for Week 3 with a hip injury, but he got in a full practice on Friday, which usually indicates he'll be able to suit up. Miller could get more time at WR with Caleb Douglas (ankle) ruled out and Chris Bell (knee) still working his way back from offseason surgery. He's in a tough matchup against the Chiefs and working in a struggling offense, so he isn't a good option to start for fantasy this week, falling outside the RotoBaller WR rankings. It will be interesting to see if he earns more time, though, since the Dolphins' offense is desperately looking for the potential for big plays like the one he delivered last week. He has the potential to emerge as a deep-league pickup if he is in a bigger role this week.

Jalen Royals News
Tuesday, October 20, 8:04 AM
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Jalen Royals has played 83 offensive snaps over his past two games, yet only six passes have come his way. He went without a catch on two targets while playing 38 snaps against Las Vegas in Week 4, then caught two of four targets for 24 yards across 45 snaps in Sunday's 22-6 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. That's a big jump in playing time for the second-year receiver, who logged just 22 offensive snaps combined in Weeks 2 and 3. With only 1% of leagues rostering him, Royals is worth a speculative stash in 12-team formats, though his production doesn't justify starting him against Seattle in Week 7. Rashee Rice (hamstring) missed Sunday's game and Tyquan Thornton (ankle) remains sidelined, which opens up opportunities in Kansas City's receiving corps. Still, Xavier Worthy drew seven targets against Los Angeles, and Andrew Armstrong played 42 snaps after being elevated from the practice squad, so Royals faces plenty of competition for meaningful receiving work.
