The Miami Dolphins signed free-agent DL Marvin Austin (Giants) to an undisclosed deal.

Footballguys View: Austin is a very active player who can be disruptive in the middle of the line. Injuries and inconsistencies have held him back during his pro career.

New York Giants RB Andre Brown (leg) said he’s a few days ahead of schedule in his rehab from a broken leg. He’s out of the walking boot but can’t return until at least Nov. 10.

Footballguys View: Good news for the Giants here. They certainly need something or someone to jump start their ground game. Until Brown returns we’ll see more from David Wilson. Fantasy owners should throw out a buy low offer for Wilson. He’s looked better on film than the box score shows. Wilson could be utilized more going forward so long as he takes care of the football.

Washington Redskins WR Pierre Garcon is the second-most targeted receiver in the NFL with 37 targets. He is fifth in the league with 127 yards after the catch.

Footballguys View: Garcon is clearly the favorite target for Robert Griffin III. That’s going to be the constant for the Washington offense. All the other targets in the passing game could have up or down weeks, but Garcon will continue to be the most heavily targeted player on the roster. His deep speed and ability to make difficult catches make him an attractive target.
