SUMMARY
Wide Receiver Rank: #79   
Overall: #234


With Terrell Owens gone, Austin gets a chance to land a starting job with the Cowboys this coming season. The Cowboys like his ability and upside. Austin didn't get a ton of playing time last season, but averaged 21.4 yards per reception and scored three touchdowns. He is a big-play threat. He is a tall, lean receiver with plus speed. Austin needs to improve his hands and route running some if he hopes to grab a starting job, though.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
Austin is a top sleeper candidate. He has a good chance to start in a very good passing game. He'll be hit or miss some weeks because he is a big-play receiver, so keep that in mind when taking him. Austin should finish with around 900 yards and six touchdowns, making him a pretty good No. 3 receiver.
Bill Nichols, of The Dallas Morning News, reports Dallas Cowboys WR Miles Austin drew double coverage for the first time this season against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 9. 'Miles only had the one catch, but he really was open quite a bit,' head coach Wade Phillips said. 'They jammed him at the line. They doubled him some, which we hadn't seen. A lot of times he was open, but it wasn't the read Tony had.'

Fantasy Impact: Not a surprise. Austin is worth owning in all formats. He should be a big factor in the Cowboys passing game going forward.
The Dallas Cowboys announced WR Miles Austin has been named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week for Week 5. Austin caught a career-high 10 passes for a franchise-record 250 yards with two touchdowns in the game. His 250 receiving yards is the most ever by a player in their first career start.

Tim MacMahon, of ESPNDallas.com, reports Dallas Cowboys WR Miles Austin will play more than 50 snaps per game after his record performance in Week 5, according to head coach Wade Phillips. 'We're going to get him on the field,' Phillips said. 'His run after the catch is so strong that if you get him the football, he's liable to make a big play. He obviously showed he could do that. We've got to get him in the game. He's got to get his touches.' Phillips did not say whether Austin's increased playing time would come at the expense of WR Roy Williams or WR Patrick Crayton.
Fantasy Impact: Austin is worth grabbing in all formats.
The Associated Press reports Dallas Cowboys WR Miles Austin caught 10 passes for a franchise-record 250 yards with one touchdown Week 5.
Fantasy Impact: Austin might have played his way into the starting lineup on a permanent basis with this performance.
