Tavon Austin fumbles, and is used as the backup RB in Week 3

Tavon Austin had three rushing attempts vs. the 49ers in Week 3 on Thursday Night Football. He rushed for a total of 14 yards and also had a fumble on a punt return.
Fantasy Impact:
Austin wasn't targeted in the passing game in this one, and was surprisingly used as the backup RB to give Todd Gurley a breather. He had a jet sweep in the red zone that barely missed going for a touchdown, but that was it for his night outside of his fumble on a punt return. Austin continues being used in questionable ways and should be far off the fantasy radar. He was also evaluated for a concussion after the game, further dimming his fantasy prospects.
