Austin Davis', Kenny Britt's, Tavon Austin's Post-Week 9 Fantasy Reaction

Tim KeeneyNov 2, 2014

Real-life wins don't always equal fantasy success. That was clear during the St. Louis Rams' wild 13-10 defeat of the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.

In what unsurprisingly turned into a defensive battle, the Rams passing game was essentially nonexistent, although Kenny Britt salvaged his day with a touchdown.

Take a look at how Austin Davis and his two most targeted wide receiversBritt and Tavon Austinfared:

Austin Davis13/241054.41/25.1
Kenny Britt423219.2
Tavon Austin321101.8

Britt is the obvious player of interest here. As Yahoo Sports' Brad Evans argued, he could have real value moving forward:

With Brian Quick sidelined for the rest of the season, Britt becomes St. Louis' de facto No. 1 receiver. He has the talent to produce in that role, and he has been playing well with the Rams, as CBS Sports' Josh Katzowitz noted:

Still, there's reason to be gun-shy. The Rams like to run the ball (27 runs vs. 24 pass attempts on Sunday) and Davis spreads it around. Ten different receivers saw a target against the Niners, and no one received more than five.

Value Britt in the WR3 range but know there will be inconsistency moving forward.

As for Davis, he should only be owned in two-quarterback leagues. Austin, while enticing because of his skill set, is off the fantasy radar for now.
