Austin has been dealing with a hamstring injury since the beginning of the season, but has yet to miss a game. He has 18 receptions for 300 yards and three touchdowns through four games.
Fantasy Impact: Austin remains a top target in the Cowboys’ offense, and a safe starting fantasy option in standard leagues. At this point, he is as healthy as he has been all season coming off a bye, and there should be no concerns about what has been a troublesome hamstring in the past.
If there is any issue with Austin from a fantasy perspective, it is that there are a lot of other mouths to feed within the Cowboys offense with Dez Bryant and Jason Witten also commanding attention. Competition for targets has yet to be a problem for Austin this season, however.
