Miles Austin Not Worried About Hamstring Injury: Fantasy Implications
Dallas WR Miles Austin says he is not concerned about the hamstring injury that has kept him out of practice. We break down the fantasy implications.
Analysis: Austin has been a prime target in the Dallas offense over the past few seasons and there is no reason to think that it won’t be that way in 2012 as well. Austin is a consensus top 20 receiver and closer to top 10 if he is healthy. Even in limited action last season, he caught seven touchdowns and nearly 600 yards. This will be a bigger concern if he isn’t taking the field later in the preseason.
