Definately Miller. He is the #2 receiver in Pittsburgh. Watson will still have to deal with Daniel Graham for touches and TDs.

I think Miller is leaps and bounds ahead of Watson in terms of fantasy production this year. Miller played well down the stretch last year but the first few games of the season he was a non factor. With a year under his belt he should start producing from the get go. I expect Miller to be a top 7 TE this year.

If Graham is completely out of the pitcture Watson can easily outproduce Miller. However, right now Miller is the better choice as he will see an expanded role as the second pittsburgh passing option.

I really like Miller to have a nice, perhaps breakout season. Big Ben has more experience and less WR talent to throw to. Miller already seemed to get targeted in the redzone and that should only increase this year.

Watson has to contend with who ever is open, Brady simply doesn't seem to favor anyone.

since when does NE have all these "options"?

branch is a hold out, after him there isnt anything special. watson is prob the 2nd best reciever on the team. i think watson is in a great position to get a lot of receptions.

i think watson will have more yardage but miller might get a few more tds.

I would tend to agree with this. I love Watson this year. Just heard Brady say that Watson is really coming into his own. Wouldn't be surprised if Watson has an awesome year, but the safer bet (especially for TD's) is probably Miller.

TD heavy league I go with Miller. The guy is the next Bubba Franks. Heavily utilized in the redzone.

I think Watson has huge potential and could pull a Jason Witten type season out of his ass. I would risk the gamble on him in a performance league.. With the way the Pat's offense is set up, I can see the potential for an 800/8 type season from Watson if everything falls into place for him.
