Braxton Miller

If it weren't for Manziel and Lynch, Miller's 2012 performance would warrant some hysterical fantasy football hype. Miller was electrifying as he led the Buckeyes to an undefeated season, throwing for 2,039 yards (8.0 YPA), 15 touchdowns and six interceptions while running for 1,271 yards and 13 touchdowns. He did that despite leaving one game early and playing injured in at least one other game due to a neck issue, so Miller should be able to improve on his numbers this year if he stays healthy. It's worth noting, however, that Miller wore down towards the end of last year, so his owners might want to pair Miller up with a more passing-oriented quarterback in case Miller gets nicked up again towards the end of this year.

Miller entirely lived up to his five-star recruit status as a true freshman last year, throwing for 13 touchdowns and four interceptions at 7.4 yards per attempt as well as running for 715 yards and seven touchdowns. This was despite dealing with suspensions and general dysfunction around him at Ohio State. Adding coach Urban Meyer to the mix – the passing guru who oversaw quarterbacks like Alex Smith, Chris Leak and Tim Tebow – it appears 2,000 yards and 20 touchdowns through the air is within reach with 1,000 yards and 10 touchdowns on the ground. His rare speed and shiftiness are big problems for Big Ten defenses.

Miller might have a hard time beating out Joe Bauserman for snaps initially, but it's generally expected that Miller will take over soon enough. The super recruit will be a tempting play for Ohio State's coaches as they attempt to get the program moving past the Terrelle Pryor era.
