Matt Miller Addresses 91-League Fraud Claims as Missouri Probes 26 Complaints

3 articles · Updated · Yahoo Sports · Jul 17

Summary

  • Matt Miller publicly responded for the first time to allegations he kept fantasy league entry fees and failed to send promised charity donations, but he did not directly deny the claims.
  • The ESPN analyst disputed an estimate that he handled about $100,000 across 91 Sleeper leagues in 2025, said he lacks account access, and asked anyone with a legitimate winnings claim to contact him.
  • Sleeper told The Athletic it banned Miller's account for "stealing buy-ins" and not paying winners, while a dozen people said they were unpaid and some got money only after threatening to expose him.
  • The Missouri Attorney General's Office is investigating 26 complaints, including unpaid fantasy winnings and camps where little or no product was delivered; Miller also declined to provide proof that league money reached charity.
  • The allegations intensified after Miller's June 17 crash led to an arm amputation and a family GoFundMe that has since paused donations, while ESPN has placed him on leave.
