The Seattle Times doesn't envision the Seahawks cutting TE Zach Miller.
We don't, either. Miller has a mammoth cap number for 2013 as he's due a $6.8 million salary and a $3 million roster bonus, but he was finally starting to come on in the latter stages of the 2012 season, capping it off with an eight-catch, 142-yard, one-score Divisional Round playoff game outburst against the Falcons. He should be in line for a bigger role on offense this coming season. Feb 8 - 12:27 PM

Seahawks TE Zach Miller suffered a torn plantar fascia in his foot in Sunday's Divisional Round loss.

The injury forced Miller to the locker room for a series in the first half, but he returned after receiving a pain-killing injection. Miller went on to post a career-best 8/142/1 line. That's despite the fact he was spotted in a boot afterward. Perhaps in line for a bigger role next season after coming on down the stretch, Miller should be ready for Seattle's offseason program.

Zach Miller hauled in eight receptions for 142 yards and a touchdown on a team-high nine targets in Sunday's Divisional round loss at Atlanta.

Where has this been the past two years? Miller has been more involved in the passing game over the past two months, but his previous single-game Seahawks high was 59 yards. The Falcons essentially left the seam open in an effort to stop Marshawn Lynch and Sidney Rice, and Russell Wilson obliged by with big play after big play to his tight end. Miller does have sleeper appeal for next season if the Seahawks keep opening up the passing game, but he's no more than a late-round flier in fantasy drafts.

Seahawks TE Zach Miller left Sunday's Divisional Round game at Atlanta with a foot injury.

Miller had been more involved in the passing game of late. As Rotoworld's Mike Clay points out, he's been targeted more than Sidney Rice over the past two months. Miller returned to action after missing one series.
Jan 13 - 1:34 PM

Zach Miller led the Seahawks with 48 yards on four receptions in Sunday's Wild Card round victory over the Redskins.

His six targets also led the team against a defense that struggled to contain tight ends all season. Miller's 22-yard catch-and-run on third down set up Marshawn Lynch's 27-yard go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter. The receiving yards were his second-highest total of the season.
Jan 6 - 8:01 PM

Zach Miller caught three passes for 18 yards in Seattle's Week 17 win over the Rams.

It was a typical day at the office for Miller. In his second season with the Seahawks, Miller caught 38 passes for 396 yards and three touchdowns. He averaged an uninspiring 24.75 yards per game over the course of the season. Miller and No. 2 TE Anthony McCoy will continue to share duties when the Seahawks open the playoffs on the road against the NFC East winner next week.

Zach Miller caught two passes for 15 yards in Seattle's Week 16 win over the 49ers.

Miller hauled in Russell Wilson's first pass of the night, but was targeted only once thereafter. In the second season of a five-year contract, Miller is averaging an unimpressive 25.2 yards per game.
Mon, Dec 24, 2012 12:35:00 AM

Zach Miller caught three passes for 26 yards with a touchdown in the Seahawks' Week 15 win over the Bills.

Miller's touchdown came from four yards out when the Bills' defense understandably bit on a play fake to Marshawn Lynch. It's his third touchdown in 29 games as a Seahawk.
Sun, Dec 16, 2012 07:33:00 PM

Zach Miller caught two passes for 29 yards with a touchdown in the Seahawks' Week 14 win over the Cardinals.

Everyone got in on the act as the Seahawks rolled to a laughable 58-0 win. Even Miller, who came into this game with one touchdown in 28 games as a Seahawk.
Sun, Dec 9, 2012 07:48:00 PM

Seahawks TE Zach Miller caught five balls for 37 yards in the team's Week 10 win over the Jets.

Miller's five receptions were a season high, and he's still only exceeded the 40 receiving yards mark twice this season. He's scored one touchdown. Miller can be left on waiver wires during the Seahawks' Week 11 bye.
Sun, Nov 11, 2012 07:35:00 PM

Zach Miller caught two passes for 47 yards versus the Vikings in Week 9.

Miller was targeted just three times on Sunday. The highlight was a 25-yard reception from Sidney Rice. The 47 yards are Miller's second-most of the season, which tells you all you need to know about his fantasy value entering Week 10 versus the Jets.
Sun, Nov 4, 2012 07:36:00 PM

Zach Miller caught two passes for 22 yards and a touchdown versus the Lions in Week 8.

The Seahawks signed Miller to a five-year, $34 million contract after the lockout. It took him 23 games to record his first touchdown in a Seattle uniform. He's unworthy of a roster spot in 12- and 14-team leagues.
Sun, Oct 28, 2012 05:35:00 PM

Zach Miller caught zero passes on two targets in Week 7 against San Francisco.

Miller has yet to find the end zone as a Seahawk. Seattle keeps saying they want to get the tight end more involved, but he's yet to show anything on game days to show that. Miller isn't even in the conversation for fantasy purposes at the moment.
Fri, Oct 19, 2012 12:32:00 AM

Zach Miller caught two passes for 29 yards in Seattle's Week 6 win over the Patriots, but also lost a fumble.

Miller made a critical seven-yard catch as the Seahawks were working to erase a 23-10 deficit early in the fourth quarter, but put the ball on the ground in what could have been a game-costing mistake. He wasn't targeted aside from his two catches. The Seahawks have insisted they want to get Miller more involved, but he's yet to notch four catches in a game. He's an extremely low-end TE2.
Sun, Oct 14, 2012 08:32:00 PM

Seahawks OC Darrell Bevell believes it's important to get TE Zach Miller more involved in the passing game.

We've been hearing this sentiment out of Seattle since last season. Miller's 59 yards in Week 5 are his most in a Seahawks uniform, but they came with just three targets. Miller is 34th among tight ends in targets through five weeks. We need to see sustained success before considering Miller as a TE2 candidate.
