Plays eight games in 2024
Austin collected 11 of 22 targets for 151 yards across eight regular-season appearances for the Saints in 2024.
ANALYSIS
Austin started the regular season on New Orleans' practice squad and didn't see the field until being called into action Week 10. He went on to play in the final eight games of the regular season, as the Saints' receiving corps was extremely depleted while wideouts Chris Olave (concussion) and Rashid Shaheed (knee) were sidelined for the final nine and 11 games of the season, respectively. Austin played at least half of the offensive snaps in all but one of his eight appearances, but he never logged more than three receptions in any of these contests. Instead, wideout Marquez Valdes-Scantling and tight ends Juwan Johnson and Foster Moreau (knee) all commanded more targets than Austin over this stretch. Austin is slated to become an exclusive rights free agent following the 2025 season.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Austin joined Jacksonville as an undrafted free agent out of Notre Dame in May of 2022 and spent the entirety of last season on the practice squad. Starting the season on the practice squad is likely a best-case scenario for the 23-year-old again in 2023.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be Saints' WR2 for ROS
Austin was signed to the Saints' active roster Saturday, and the 24-year-old has an opportunity to emerge as New Orleans' No. 2 wideout behind Marquez Valdes-Scantling for the rest of the 2024 regular season, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.
ANALYSIS
Austin was unable to make the Saints' 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but he opted to stick around on the practice squad. He wasn't elevated to the active roster until Week 10 against the Falcons, but he ended up playing in three straight games due to injuries to Bub Means and Chris Olave, and over that span Austin accumulated six catches on seven targets for 85 yards. Austin played a season-high 43 offensive snaps in Week 13 against the Rams, and he should continue to see that kind of usage moving forward while playing alongside Valdes-Scantling and Cedrick Wilson.
