ESPN analyst Matt Miller is stepping away from his role after being involved in a life-threatening car crash last month in Missouri. Miller suffered serious injuries, including multiple fractures and broken ribs, and underwent a life-saving amputation of his left arm.
Investigation and Accusations
Around the time of the accident, a Reddit thread went viral with several fans accusing Miller of suspicious dealings in his fantasy football leagues. According to the fantasy football platform ‘Sleeper,’ Miller was the commissioner of 91 fantasy leagues last season alone. Dozens of fans came forward, alleging that Miller would start a league, advertise it, and claim that a portion of the proceeds would go to charity, but then go silent after the league started and ended, with players not receiving payouts.
The Missouri Attorney General’s Office has confirmed an open investigation into the issue and is soliciting complaints from anyone with relevant information. Miller remains in the hospital and has not commented on the accusations. He took to social media to offer an update, saying he was stepping away from ESPN to recover and would be placed on leave.
