Heath Miller: Announces retirement
Miller announced Friday his intention to retire from the NFL.
ANALYSIS
A late first-round pick all the way back in 2005, Miller spent the entirety of his 11-year career in gold and black. Over that span, he collected two Pro Bowl nominations, won two Super Bowls, earned a team MVP award in 2012 and was named to the Pittsburgh Steelers All-Time Team in 2007. The 33-year-old tight end remained relatively healthy throughout his career, missing no more than two games in any given campaign. He leaves the team as the franchise's all-time leader among tight ends in receptions (592), receiving yards (6,579), and receiving touchdowns (45). A staple in Pittsburgh and a favorite among the fans, the Steelers will finally need to move on and look elsewhere for production out of the position.

With Antonio Bryant and Le'Veon Bell accounting for nearly 50 percent of Ben Roethlisberger's targets, it's perhaps surprising that Miller's targets actually increased last season. The extra work helped him post his second-most catches and yards in the last five years. But his eight-touchdown 2012 looks more and more like an aberration as he's totaled four scores the last two years. Miller's yardage is not enough to make him useful to fantasy owners if he doesn't find the end zone. Last year, he had seven games with 35 yards or less. At 6-5, 256, Miller is still used in the red zone, but he didn't convert many of his targets into scores last season — just three on 16 targets. Miller, who turns 33 in October, could see less work in the passing game because the Steelers have a number of young wideouts vying for targets. Plus, Roethlisberger likely will regress from last year's career-high 608 attempts.
