Minnesota Vikings FB Jerome Felton has been suspended three games for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy.
Footballguys View: Felton doesn’t have much fantasy value but the guy he lead blocks for does. Adrian Peterson will be fine without Felton in the lineup. Felton is eligible to return in week four.

Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett said he believes WR Miles Austin is looking quicker than he has the last few preseasons because he has stayed healthy. ‘He looks fresher,’ Garrett said. ‘He looks quicker to me. And he’s a hard matchup player for people because he’s big. He can play outside, but he also has quickness to play inside and sometimes you’re playing against a smaller nickel guy. He’s a bigger guy than that and maybe equally as quick so sometimes it’s hard to cover someone of that inside stuff.’
Footballguys View: Austin is a tremendous value in fantasy leagues right now. His current ADP is WR32 (8.05) in 12 team PPR leagues. If healthy he has the ability to finish as a top 20 fantasy receiver in 2013.

Arizona Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians said he believes OG Jonathan Cooper (leg) could return for the final few weeks of the regular season. Cooper underwent surgery on his broken fibula.
Footballguys View: Losing Cooper for any amount of time is a crushing blow for what is already a weak unit. We’ll see the Cardinals likely put Daryn Colledge in at Left Guard while Cooper is out.
