Fantasy Analysis: Austin came back just in time last season to play the Giants twice and caught six passes for 83 yards total, thought he had only just returned from his injury. Bryant managed seven catches for 120 yards and a touchdown across both games. Dez Bryant is the safer play here, but Austin is a good bet in a three-WR format.
