Dallas WR Miles Austin Lining Up In The Slot

Jun 13, 2010

Dallas wide receiver Miles Austin has been working as a slot receiver in multiple wide-receiver sets. For Austin, the virtues of moving into the slot are being behind the ball, which rules against press coverage, and being in motion at times. Staying on the outisde represents consitency.

"Inside or outside, I'm still trying to get open,'' Austin said.

When the Cowboys have positioned Austin in the slot, veteran Roy Williams and rookie Dez Bryant have been the wide receivers.

"I think he is going to be tremendously dangerous in the slot,'' Dallas head coach Wade Phillips said. "The same things that make him good on the outside make him good on the inside.''

Fantasy Impact:

Inside or outside, Austin is poised for a big fantasy season. He's number three in 4for4's current rankings and will be one of the first receivers taken in many drafts.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara off injury report ahead of Week 15

The Saints officially listed QB Derek Carr (left hand/concussion) as doubtful for Sunday vs. Washington. Jake Haener will make his first NFL start.

RB Alvin Kamara (illness) is off the injury report and good to go.

Related Players: Kendre Miller

Fantasy Impact:

It would have been an easy click for a Kendre Miller week if Kamara were forced to miss, but this puts the kibosh on that. Fire Kamara up as an RB2 this week in a game that may feature him even more than usual with no Carr.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker Doubtful for Week 15

The Seahawks list RB Kenneth Walker III (calf) as doubtful for Sunday's game.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like a clear runway for another Charbonnet week in what should be a tightly contested game against the Packers at home. Fire him up as a fringe RB1/2.
