Week 15: at Indianapolis Colts

All WR vs IND

FBG says: Neutral matchup. The Cowboys have surged of late through the air, producing six passing touchdowns over the past three games and by far a season-high 455 yards in the overtime win over the Eagles in Week 14. Amari Cooper has turned into a season-changer for Dallas with six touchdowns in six games with the team including an eye-popping 10-217-3 last week. Michael Gallup has excelled as an ancillary option, separating on deep routes and providing a speed presence downfield. The tight end position has been a glaring disappointment in 2018 but the combination of Blake Jarwin and Dalton Schultz paired to produce 10-93-0 in a promising Week 14 committee. Dallas is completing a robust 68% of their passes but have allowed the most sacks in the NFL (48), including 10 over the past two weeks. The Colts are the definition of an average defense against the pass. On the season, they have only allowed three quarterbacks to throw for over 300 yards, but have failed to shut anyone down either as the only four quarterbacks to not throw for 240 yards or more were Blaine Gabbert, Derek Anderson, Cody Kessler, and Ryan Tannehill. They are middle of the road in terms of sacks and allowing nearly 72% of passes to be completed (second-highest in the NFL) but contain big plays, allowing the seventh-least plays of 20 or more yards. The Colts are most suspect against tight ends, allowing 11-151-0 to the Houston trio last week and at least 50 yards to Jordan Reed, Rob Gronkowski, and Jared Cook the most productive tight ends on their schedule to-date. Against wide receivers, Indianapolis has not allowed a 100-yard game since Week 4, shutting down DeAndre Hopkins last week to 36 yards as their most notable recent test.

Recent Game Summaries

2018 Week 3 vs SEA (3 / 3 / 2 / 1 rec, 1 / 18 / 0 rush)

Austin found the end zone for a second straight game, a goal line shovel pass, but was a non-factor outside of the scoring play in Dallas' road loss in Seattle. Austin was tracked down easily on a crossing route, but did add a jet sweep run for 18 yards early in the game. Austin's deep speed is the lone differentiator for a Dallas wide receiver through three games; however he remains a situationally-used option in their struggling pass game.

2018 Week 2 vs NYG (2 / 2 / 79 / 1 rec, 1 / 15 / 0 rush)

Austin was the highlight of Dallas' anemic passing game output against the Giants, surging downfield for a 64-yard touchdown. Austin's speed was on display as he easily separated from the defensive back and eluded a late-arriving safety. The play was not a sign of a dominant involvement for Austin; however, as he added a deep comeback route and a reverse for a chunk gain on his mere three touches. On the positive side, no Dallas receiver has separated themselves from the pack as the lead receiver through two games.
