We’ve covered the quarterbacks and running backs thus far in the Position Breakdown series.  Today we move to the always-interesting group of wide receivers. KEY PLAYERS Miles Austin — Austin had a “feast or famine” year in 2010; his stats either killing or carrying fantasy teams from week to week.  Interestingly, his big games were all losses for the Cowboys. 

News is a little light the last fews day, but ESPN Dallas is reporting that Dez Bryant has been to most of the player workouts, on a consistent basis.

We’re approaching the June 3 ruling which will determine if the lockout is legal, which in-turn will solidify the owner’s stance on the lockout. The lockout could last a long time.

If you’re like any other die hard out there trying to get through this lockout, NFL Network’s Top Players of 2011 is great a great show to create discussion on the league’s best players.
