ESPN draft analyst Matt Miller steps away after car crash and investigation into fantasy league payouts

ESPN NFL draft analyst Matt Miller said he will be on indefinite leave to focus on recovery after a car accident in Missouri that resulted in the amputation of his left arm and surgeries on his leg. In a post on X, Miller confirmed that the surgeries were successful and that he hopes to receive a prosthetic arm, adding that he will remain off-air while he heals.

The accident, which occurred last month, also left Miller with multiple fractures and broken ribs. A GoFundMe campaign created for his medical expenses has raised more than $50,000.

Separately, the Missouri Attorney General’s office announced an open investigation into allegations that Miller, who served as commissioner for dozens of fantasy football leagues, failed to distribute promised prize money and charitable contributions. The AG’s office is soliciting complaints from anyone with relevant information, regardless of residency.

Miller has not commented on the investigation. His recent X post was limited to a small group of accounts, and only a handful of users, including reporters Adam Schefter and former player Michael Thomas, responded with well-wishes.

A source familiar with the situation said the leave is strictly medical and that any questions related to the fantasy league claims will be addressed later.
