I like Austin vs the Redskins. Even though he and Kitna haven't been on the same page a lot I can't see him not getting at least 1 td. He should be able to separate from coverage easily in this game.

I think Austin is a decent play matchup-wise, but he's been a turd since Kitna has been in at QB. I think he's got a significant chance of putting up 3 catches for 35 yards. Owens is probably the biggest offensive weapons on the Bengals, and if I had him, I would probably start him over Austin. Full Disclosure: I am an Austin owner and have been suffering over ther past 3 weeks.

Carolina is actually giving up the 3rd fewest points to fantasy WRs, and Fitz has Skelton throwing him the ball. Prospects aren't good there.

Owens is banged up. Austin is dropping very easy passes lately. On paper Austin....but don't expect much. With Skelton under center I'd stay away from Fitz.

I think you'll be fine with Austin or Owens. Owens had a huge game in Cleveland, but who knows what kind of a mood he'll be in. I think Owens and Austin will have the same pay-off. Stick with Owens.
