Tavon Austin to Get Work as a Receiver?
7 years agoDallas Cowboys new acquisition Tavon Austin will get most of his work as a receiver, according to offensive coordinator Scott Linehan. "We’ll use him for a lot of things, but he’s a receiver first," Linehan said. "Some of his skill set is as an outside receiver, but he can move around." Earlier reports stated the Cowboys would be using Austin almost exclusively out of the backfield in a role similar to Lance Dunbar's from a few seasons ago. With plenty of time before Week 1 and plenty of examples of Austin not playing at an NFL level regardless of position, he's very unlikely to develop much fantasy value no matter where he lines up.
