A seventh-round pick (245th overall) by the Patriots out of Alabama, Jam Miller was waived with an injury settlement in late August following a preseason opener where he rushed 14 times for 55 yards. After working out for Atlanta on September 29, he signed today to provide depth to a shorthanded Falcon backfield. Notably, Falcons offensive coordinator Tommy Rees held the same role during Miller’s college career at Alabama.

Miller provides depth behind superstar Bijan Robinson and talented depth piece Brian Robinson Jr. The Falcons went into Sunday’s matchup with only the two Robinsons on the active roster, so adding additional depth makes sense for the NFL’s most run heavy offense. Jam Miller’s testing profile is a mixed bag: he boasts explosive straight-line speed with a 4.42 forty (94th percentile) and a 109.5 Speed Score (91st percentile), but that is offset by a poor 109.4 Burst Score (11th percentile) and college yards-per-carry mark in the 4th percentile. For fantasy football purposes, Miller is strictly a deep-stash depth piece, with any realistic path to a meaningful role requiring an injury to the players ahead of him.
