Tavon Austin finally has long awaited breakout fantasy performance
The Rams explosive rookie receiver blew up the Colts in Week 10. We break down the fantasy implications.

Fantasy impact: Austin’s production was much needed, and long awaited as Austin has been a free agent in a majority of fantasy leagues. Needless to say after what he did to the Colts in Week 10, he’ll probably be the hottest waiver wire addition available going into Week 11.
The only downside to Austin's performance was that he was only targeted three times in the game. There's no doubt that number will go up moving forward, especially with the Rams being limited to backup quarterback Kellen Clemens for the rest of the season as the team holds on to dwindling playoff hopes.
Prior to the game against the Colts, Austin had amassed just 207 receiving yards and a pair of touchdowns in nine games.
