ANALYSIS: Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Calvin Austin III has never been on fantasy football radars. The young receiver had two receptions on four targets for 13 receiving yards and 2.3 half-point PPR fantasy points in the first two games.
However, the former Memphis had the best game of his career in Week 3. Austin had four receptions on five targets for 95 receiving yards and a touchdown, scoring 17.5 fantasy points. His 55-yard catch and run-receiving touchdown was a game-changer for the Steelers.

While he had an outstanding performance against the Los Angeles Chargers, fantasy players should temper their expectations with Austin. He was tied for second on the team with five targets alongside Pat Freiermuth, Najee Harris, and Cordarrelle Patterson. Furthermore, his catch and run touchdown accounted for 68.6% of his fantasy points on Sunday.
Fantasy players in deeper leagues should add him off the waiver wire this week. However, there is a significant chance that Austin will struggle in Week 4 and is a drop candidate next week.
