Fantasy Analysis
This is a disappointing development for Austin, who was making great progress in camp before suffering this injury. Austin slid into the second round after having some eligibility issues in college at North Carolina. But he is a first-round talent that will have to wait a full year to showcase his skills. Austin is nothing more than a low-end, long-term Fantasy keeper. (Updated 08/30/2011).
