2012 Outlook: Solid/Safe Pick

Last updated on Aug-11-2012 by Ben Standig

Generated decent production despite hamstring issues and a crowded receiver situation. Fantasy owners were expecting more. Austin enters this season in the middle of the WR2 pack though reports of renewed focus to offseason training could have him primed for a rankings rise by preseason. Expect numbers closer to his last full season (69-1041-7) rather than his 2009 breakout campaign.

UPDATE (8/11): The recent hamstring injury reminds owners that durability is a concern and it could push Austin down a touch in the deep WR class. That might not be a bad thing; if Austin lands outside the top 20 or so of receivers drafted, he suddenly becomes a nice value play. Monitor that hammy during the preseason.

2012 Experts Mock Draft (June) June 6, 2012 - June 25, 2012	3.10	DraftSharks.com - Austin has put up huge numbers when he and Tony Romo are healthy together. There's room for that to continue even if Dez Bryant steps up.
2012 Experts Mock Draft (July) July 16 - 27	4.04	TheHuddle.com - While Dez Bryant chills in Goodell's doghouse, Austin goes back to being Tony Romo's BFF.
2012 Experts Mock Draft (August) Aug 14 - 24	4.07	DraftSharks.com - If the hammy is still a problem 2 weeks from now, I'll worry more. I'll take the chance, though, on Romo's top receiver.
