Past Fantasy Outlooks
2012
2011
2010
Austin was a better real-life player for West Virginia than a fantasy one last season, but he was still a big hit, as expected. Austin is a talented and versatile player who’s very dangerous with the ball. He was a fantasy disappointment for most of last season due to a touchdown shortage, but Austin is due for a career year in 2012 thanks to his heavy workload – he led West Virginia with 101 receptions while carrying the ball 16 times. He's also likely to score a return touchdown or three.
Blackmon’s loss at Oklahoma State is Austin’s gain at West Virginia, as offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen will bring the Mountaineers his Houston-style spread offense. That means lots of work for Austin, who moved from running back to receiver last year and proved to be a quick study, finishing with 946 yards and nine touchdowns from scrimmage. With Jock Sanders (who caught 69 passes in 2010) out of the way in West Virginia’s new pass-happy spread, Austin’s numbers should explode this year.
Austin, like fellow wideout Jock Sanders, is a converted running back who figures to be featured extensively as both a runner and receiver. Austin possesses much more big-play ability than his counterpart, and he could secure a surprisingly big role in the 2010 West Virginia offense. The word is that the program is highly impressed with the sophomore and has big plans for him. At the moment, however, Austin doesn't warrant consideration outside of Big East-only leagues, though he's a big sleeper in such leagues.
