On a balmy fall Sunday in St. Louis, we witnessed an aging quarterback’s career revival story kick off, we saw his dominant defense completely shame the opposition, and, most importantly, we saw the beginning of a his teammate’s – a lightning-fast, versatile young wide receiver – breakout season. This player was used as a receiver, a runner, a returner, and excelled at all of them, despite concerns from a year ago about his development and readiness for the league.

If a few things had gone differently in Week 1, those statements could all have been about the St. Louis Rams, quarterback Austin will be sidelined for two weeks due to a sprained MCL. While not season-ending or permanently damaging, this injury also doesn't bode well for a player who makes his living with speed and precise cuts.

There are so many ways to implement Austin’s tools, and the Rams don’t appear willing to pursue any of them. Austin doesn’t seem to be a redraft boon, nor much of a dynasty value. Hold him in deeper leagues, but for 2014, it appears the Swiss-army knife will be unnecessary for fantasy owners.
