10 Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 9
Melvin Gordon has been a disappointment all season. Is this the week he turns things around?

Heath Miller, TE, Pittsburgh Steelers

By now I think everyone is aware that the Oakland Raiders can not defend opposing tight ends. With the Pittsburgh Steelers hosting the Raiders this week, it then only makes sense that Steelers tight end Heath Miller would appear in this column.

To be fair, this matchup is really just icing on the cake for Miller though. In the three full games Ben Roethlisberger has played this year, Miller has totaled 20 catches for 204 yards and a touchdown. And with Le'Veon Bell now out for the season, Miller should see an additional bump in his target share moving forward.

The Raider's struggling defense -- 26th overall based upon our metrics -- and the Steelers' decent implied point total of 25.75, should only reinforce your confidence in rolling Miller out in your lineups this week.
