Bruce Miller named PFF best fullback for Week 5 after season-high in snaps

The San Francisco 49ers made some adjustments to their offense in Week 5, and that seems to have involved getting fullback Bruce Miller more involved in the game. Miller finished the game with 29 snaps, easily surpassing his previous season high of 14. The 49ers still used some 2- and 3-TE sets, but Miller got his biggest opportunity in 2015.

In getting the work, Miller showed why he has been an important cog in the 49ers offense in recent years. Pro Football Focus named him the best fullback in Week 5, grading him out positively, particularly in the run blocking side of things.
