Will Anthony Miller Build Off of Career Game?

What could help the offense continue to gain those much-needed yards is the play of wide receiver Anthony Miller. The second-year pro out of Memphis had the best game of his young career in Week 13. Miller had nine catches for 140 yards (both career-highs) against the Lions on Thanksgiving Day.

The speedy receiver has already surpassed his receiving yardage from last season, but the one thing that’s missing is him scoring. In 2018, Miller led the Bears with seven touchdown receptions. Getting into the end zone can definitely help Miller build on his career game. Allen Robinson II has been Chicago’s go-to receiver all season, and should still demand a lot of attention from Dallas’ defense. This could open up more opportunities for Miller to make big plays. However, it may be a bit tough doing so going up against the Cowboys’ eighth-ranked pass defense.
