Calvin Austin III: Emerging as a Key Fantasy Football Prospect for 2024 with the Steelers

Calvin Austin III of the Pittsburgh Steelers heads into the 2024 fantasy football season with promising potential despite a modest start in 2023. After missing his rookie year due to injury, Austin caught 17 passes for 180 yards and a touchdown in 16 games. He showed improvement as the season progressed and is now vying for a larger role in the Steelers  offense in 2024.

 

 

Looking forward, Austin’s potential depends on securing more playing time and a defined role in Pittsburgh’s offense under new leadership. His knack for separating from defenders and drawing penalties offers glimpses of his upside, though concerns about his target share and quarterback stability remain valid. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Austin’s preseason usage and chemistry with Russell Wilson, as improved integration could boost his fantasy value.

 

 

While Austin’s rookie season statistics weren’t great by any means, his determination and offseason preparation suggest room for growth in 2024. Heading into his age-25 season, he presents a speculative yet potentially rewarding option for fantasy owners willing to invest in his speed and potential upside.
