With a sound running game finally provided by Todd Gurley, did we get a glimpse of how the Rams could use Tavon Austin moving forward? There were still a handful of specialty plays designed for Austin, but he also made plays as a traditional wide receiver. All told, he had 116 total yards on eight touches with two touchdowns. We're chasing points a bit here, but through the first four weeks of the season the Rams have been making a concerted effort to put the ball in Austin's hands more often. He has 28 touches on the year for 215 yards and three touchdowns (not counting special teams). This could be the start of something good here now that Gurley's in the fold, so if you have the bench space or need wide receiver help, consider Austin this week. FAAB suggestion: 5-10 percent.
