Dallas Cowboys receivers Dez Bryant and Miles Austin are 100 percent, team owner Jerry Jones told KRLD-FM on Tuesday. Austin has missed most of the preseason because of a strained hamstring, while Bryant was slowed by tendinitis in his right knee. The Cowboys open the regular season on Wednesday night against the New York Giants.

Fantasy Impact: It's hard to believe that both are 100 percent but fantasy owners have to be encouraged that Jones thinks both players are ready to go Wednesday night. Bryant should be considered a low-end No. 1 receiver in most leagues, while Austin is a decent No. 2. They both should get more chances if, as expected, tight end Jason Witten doesn't play.
