Who Should I Start? Scotty Miller or Tyrell Shavers

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Scotty Miller logged three receptions for 82 receiving yards in a 19-10 exhibition win over the Carolina Panthers. Most notably, Miller gained 53 yards on a deep ball from quarterback Skylar Thompson that set up a Steelers field goal to close out the first half. The 28-year-old has stood out the entire preseason, securing all nine of his targets for 167 yards across three games, and has likely played his way onto the team's 53-man roster. Starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers has spoken highly of Miller, emphasizing that "Scotty can fly" during an interview on Thursday night's broadcast. While Miller will go ignored in the vast majority of fantasy drafts, he could surprise early in the regular season if Calvin Austin III (abdomen) misses additional time.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Tyrell Shavers finished with the team's only touchdown reception in a 23-19 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Saturday. With the Bills leading 7-3 late in the second quarter, Shavers made a spectacular one-handed catch in the end zone for an 11-yard score. That was one of two grabs for Shavers, who totaled 24 yards on three targets. Shavers' impact went beyond the box score, as he also drew a pair of defensive holding penalties that led to first downs for the Bills. The former undrafted free agent from San Diego State, who has been fighting for a place near the back of the Bills' receiver depth chart this summer, made his presence felt in all three of the team's exhibition games. Shavers led the Bills with 120 yards on six receptions in the preseason, and now he's left to hope that production will help him earn a roster spot.
