Miles Austin (1 Viewer)

I'm rolling with Austin in one league - of course it helps that I get points for return yards
I grabbed him. If he puts up a big game, he should earn playing time. Possibly displace Crayton. Maybe even become the 1 there by the end of the season if he goes all MSW on us. The Cowboys need to do something - what they are doing is not working. I think Austin is worth the pickup if he is available. Especially in Dynasty. He was dropped in my league last week in order to make room to cover a bye at another position. He wont start for me, but I do think he makes an adequate bye week fill in this week against a weak KC secondary.

It's not so much as what the Cowboys aren't doing as it is Miles getting his head out of his ### and running his routes correctly. I think Romo targets him more if he is able to start showing he is reliable enough. Hopefully, this could be the week for it since RW is likely out..
 
My feeling is that Sam Hurd may be the Shark move here. Romo has no faith in Austins route running.

 
I think Dallas runs a ton this week and spreads out it's WR receptions. Witten will likely have big numbers this week and could this be the game they finally unleash Bennett? For this week and beyond, I'm not big on Austin.

austin has had numerous opportunities to earn more playing time on this team and has squandered all of them. i'm not a fan.

 
Good size, good speed, good QB, youth, and a good opportunity. I still think he is worth a shot. He was pretty good late in 2008. He has shown flashes. For those that seem to be writing him off, I think it is too early. Not saying he is gonna bust out - just saying he is worth the very minimal risk right now in my opinion.

 
He was available on the waiver wire in my dynasty league. Took a chance. Hope he capitalizes on this opportunity.
