Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports Rams WR Tavon Austin has been steadily progressing as he recovers from wrist surgery. Austin is excited about his role in the offense under new head coach Sean McVay. “I just want the ball in my hand any type of way,” Austin said. “I don’t care if you give it to me vertically, if I get jet sweeps or, whatever, screens or options.

Footballguys View: Austin lost his big play ability in 2016, though the quarterback situation certainly didn’t help. An offseason of work with Jared Goff would have been great but there is time in training camp. Even if he gets back towards where he was in 2015, his upside has been rather limited though and it could be some time before he has a large and consistent impact in fantasy.

Jori Epstein of the Dallas Morning News reports that Cowboys WR Cole Beasley doesn’t believe second-year QB Dak Prescott will suffer a sophomore slump in 2017. “He’s one of the hardest-working guys I’ve seen at the quarterback position in a long time in a lot of years playing,” Beasley said. “His approach and his mindset will control that. … He’s the type of guy who’s going to grind no matter and continue to get better no matter how good he gets.”

Footballguys View: His situation is still about as good as you can ask for, with an elite line, a tremendous second year running back and a great receiving corps. We think he may see a bit of a slump, but certainly not a large one, and he’s projecting an ADP of 76 overall and the tenth quarterback taken off the board.

Josh Katzenstein of NOLA.com reports Saints RB Mark Ingram wants to be even better than he was during his career-best performance in 2016. Even with Adrian Peterson in the mix, Ingram believes he can improve. “I know my last three years I’ve had the best three years of my career. I’ve only been getting better and better, so I feel like any time that I can touch the ball — carry it, catch it — I’ll be productive and I’m going to keep improving.”

According to Clarence Hill Jr. of the Star-Telegram, Dallas Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott is staying at home more now after an off-field incident in March drew scrutiny around the country. Elliott said it’s a painful and needed lesson to learn, considering how fleeting an NFL career can be if you continue to make mistakes. “I think it’s just life,” said Elliott, who was wearing a Stetson hat when he met with the media Wednesday. “You learn from your mistakes, and if you don’t, it can be brutal. So it’s just part of life.”
