If I tell you guys how many points he just scored me you'd flip.
First off my league basically takes the 1 pt for 10 yards and 6 pts for a TD that WRs get and "doubles" it for TEs. So TEs get 1 pt for 5 yards rec and 12 pts for TDs.
It makes TEs more desirable, and there are times if you have 2 stud TEs you will actually choose to start 2 over a WR or RB.
It also puts the top TEs up there scoring wise with the top WRs/RBs/QBs. All 4 offensive postions score about the same in our league by the end of the year (the top players at each position I mean).
Our league is also a league that has TD bonus for long TDs, lets just say that our scoring system was not built expecting a TE to score a 87 yard TD...
That TD alone scored me 48 pts, he scored me 78 total tonight. Average total team score in our league is about 120-125.
Oh yeah, I almost didn't start Miller with Big Ben out, I had Donald Driver in his spot all week and just switching Miller in at the last minute (literally 7:30 pm est) on a hunch.
So, after tongights game I am winning 78-3, my opponent had his K going (Reed).
Heath's 18 points were on the bench for 2 of my teams thanks to Big Ben going down... otherwise he'd have been starting. I'm hating big play bonuses even more now...
I have Heath and I may try to sell him high, I am hoping Heap or Gonzo or Gates has a bad week 1, so I will be able to try and package Miller and like Chris Brown for one of them

I was thinking the same thing, I got Miller and may try to package him with Lav. Coles for a Heap, or even Alge. Who knows, maybe my #2 Chester Taylor and Miller for another #1 type RB like Tiki (my #1 is LT).

Why would you package Miller for Alge? Miller will have a better season than Crumpler, IMO. I have Miller, too, but benched him in favor of Watson. It would be easy to kick myself, but I'm still convinced Watson will have a stud game. I'm also considering packaging Miller with a second RB to try to snag a stud RB. We'll see. However, I do expect big things from Miller. Also, I wouldn't trade him for Tony Gonzalez. I think Tony G will really fall down the rankings now that he'll have to stay in and block on most downs due to Roaf's exit.
