Overall
Quiet in playoff loss
Austin brought in three of six targets for eight yards and returned one punt for 14 yards in the Steelers' 30-6 wild-card loss to the Texans on Monday night.
ANALYSIS
Austin's receiving line underscores how suffocating the Texans defense was overall, on a night when Aaron Rodgers was sacked four times and threw for only 146 yards. Austin recorded 31 receptions for 372 yards and three touchdowns on 55 targets across 14 regular-season games in 2025, adding 15 punt returns for 101 yards. The 2022 fourth-round pick is slated to hit unrestricted free agency at the start of the new league year, and given his unremarkable body of work over his first four seasons, it's likely the Steelers allow him to explore the open market.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Top-40 free agent per Popper
Austin is ranked 40th among available free agents by Daniel Popper of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Popper believes Austin could break out in a system that gets him the ball in space more frequently. The 5-foot-9, 162-pound wide receiver didn't play a significant role in the Steelers' offense, posting just 372 receiving yards in 14 regular-season games in 2025. Popper projects a three-year, $33 million contract for Austin, who is set to turn 27 years old in March.
