2024 Fantasy Outlook
Austin looked like an emerging player through four games last season. During that time, the receiver averaged three catches and 33 yards. However, the Steelers offense was a mess. The team relied heavily on their rushing attack. That led to Austin catching six passes for 44 yards over his last 13 games. Although it’s possible that Austin sees an increase in snaps this season, but the receiver may have to hold off rookie Roman Wilson for a prominent role in the offense. Also, it is worrisome that Arthur Smith is the offensive coordinator. The new coach will likely continue to feature the run game. As a result, Austin may not see enough targets to have a breakout season. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Little production on six targets
Austin recorded two receptions on six targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 28-27 win over the Commanders.
ANALYSIS
Austin saw a season-high six targets, and he delivered a pivotal 13-yard gain on the Steelers' game-winning drive. However, his role is likely to be in flux given the addition of Mike Williams, who took on a limited snap count in his team debut against the Commanders. Even with a lack of other receiving options early this season, Austin has topped 50 receiving yards only twice in nine games.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Austin topped 1,000 yards in his final two collegiate seasons at Memphis in 2020 and 2021, but he sustained a foot injury during training camp in August and began the year on injured reserve. The fourth-round pick returned to practice in early October but wasn't activated from IR. He's expected to be healthy heading into 2023 but will have additional competition for targets after the Steelers acquired Allen Robinson during the offseason. Austin was productive in college but could have trouble landing a fantasy-relevant role this year due to the deep receiving corps in Pittsburgh.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
WR2 role in play?
Mark Kaboly of The Athletic posits that Austin's consistency during OTAs has given the 2022 fourth-round pick a legitimate shot at the No. 2 wideout spot behind George Pickens.
ANALYSIS
Kaboly believes that it's a four-way battle for the WR2 spot between Austin, Van Jefferson, Quez Watkins and rookie Roman Wilson. It could simply come down to who quarterback Russell Wilson develops the most trust in throughout OTAs and training camp. Although he finished 2023 with 17 catches for 180 yards, Austin had a strong start to the season, accumulating 12 catches for 143 yards and a touchdown over the first four games.
