Miles Austin Boosts Fantasy Stock In Season Opener
Miles Austin finished out strong in first matchup against the Giants. We break down the fantasy implications.
Fantasy Impact: Fantasy owners were ready to hit the panic button by the time the fourth quarter rolled around. Austin is clearly still working his way back from lingering hamstring issues, but he had enough in him to out jump two Giants defenders and take it to the house with 5:57 left to play. If he can continue to put his ailments behind him, Austin will be a great value to owners considering his lower average draft position this year.
