Scouting report:

A north/south one-speed runner. Miller has average leg drive and vision. He’ll be best utilized at the next level in a gap or inside zone scheme. Miller is at the peak of his powers when he gets downhill with one cut and hits the gas.
He tends to dance at the line occasionally, which he can’t afford to do. Miller is a more limited athlete and doesn’t possess the juice to tack on multiple evasive movements without losing speed and burst in the process.
Miller is an upright runner who defenders can square up. He has the lower half strength to power through flimsy tackling but can’t break tackles once wrapped up decently.
He’s a functional receiver in the passing game with soft hands. Miller is a check-down option only in the passing game. He lacks the short-area agility to offer much of a ceiling as a route runner long term.

Player Comp: La’Mical Perine

Dynasty Outlook: Miller was a substantial riser after the NFL Draft in my rankings. He’s currently my RB6 (Tier 3) after being selected in Round 3 by the New Orleans Saints. With Alvin Kamara’s future up in the air and Jamaal Williams in the Big Easy for (at least) the next two seasons, Miller’s potential year-one role and two-year outlook are up in the air. Miller could easily be the team’s compliment to Williams or the long-term leader of this backfield if Kamara is suspended for a lengthy amount or cut by the team. Miller is a second-round rookie draft pick with upside in all formats.
