If Watson goes to Atlanta, my money is on JuJu following him

They are thin at receiver and will need some weapons for their new toy
 
Hope we don't resign JuJu, we need speed and quickness at WR

Anthony Miller. I remember last season some of y'all were suggesting Miller should be moved up from the practice squad to get the reps Ray-Ray was getting in the slot since Washington wasn't performing. With Ray Ray gone, Washington most likely ending up somewhere else and Miller still on the team, I decided to take a look at his stats. Miller and Washington both entered the league at the same time and share similar stats. Over their careers, they have:

Washington: 114 receptions 1629 yards 14.3 Y/R 11 TDs 52.3% Catch%
Miller: 144 receptions 1589 yards 11.4 Y/R 12 TDs 61.7% Catch%

The numbers are actually kind of skewed since Washington actually saw a decent amount of playing time last year and Miller was kept on the PS. Kinda makes me wonder if the Steelers didn't intentionally stash Miller there looking for him to replace Washington as WR4.

Not much in the way PR/KR duties on Miller's resume (5 PR for 55 yards and 8 KR for 183 yards), but, the kid ran a 4.38 40 at the combine. So, there's some speed there also (More than Washington who ran a 4.54 40 at the combine).
 
I like his toughness over the middle.
We have TEs that can do that work. JuJu is not fast enough to scare defenses and the money could be better spent elsewhere.

I hope you're right on Miller. He is definitely better than RayRay and should have been used last year with our plodding WR corps.
