Pittsburgh Steelers WR Calvin Austin was targeted five times and finished with 31 yards on four receptions vs. the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 17 on Wednesday, Dec. 25.
Huddle Up: Austin had shown some life in recent weeks but wasn't productive with the return of George Pickens. The Steelers have at least locked down a postseason spot, so who knows what to expect from aspect of resting players next week. While Austin himself isn't likely to rest, QB Russell Wilson would be first in line for a break, and Pickens isn't far behind.

Pittsburgh Steelers WR Calvin Austin III secured four of five looks for 65 yards Saturday, Dec. 21, at the Baltimore Ravens in Week 16.
Huddle Up: Small, quicker receivers, like Austin, have the skill set to give this defense fits. We saw Houston's Tank Dell do just that in Week 16 before dislocating his kneecap. Austin has some value, regardless of whether WR George Pickens (hamstring) returns, which would free up CA3 from seeing a little extra attention. Either way, Austin is a dicey fantasy lottery ticket with a title on the line.

Pittsburgh Steelers WR Calvin Austin caught all five of his targets for a team-high 65 yards in a 27-13 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 15.
Huddle Up: With George Pickens still sidelined, Austin was the top target in the passing game, and he set a season high in targets. If Pickens misses more time, Austin could have some sleeper potential in deeper leagues
