Calvin Austin III caught one of his four targets for four yards in the Steelers' 27-14 win over the Cleveland Browns.
Fantasy Impact
Austin III has made the most of minimal involvement in the Pittsburgh passing offense, recording receiving touchdowns in two of his last three games. The wideout remains a boom-or-bust option in all formats ahead of a Week 15 contest against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Calvin Austin III (concussion) is officially off of the injury report and available for Week 14 for the Pittsburgh Steelers against the Cleveland Browns.
Fantasy Impact
Austin III was able to log full practice sessions in consecutive days to end the week and is now cleared to return for the AFC North divisional matchup. The wideout could be in line for an increased workload with the addition of No. 1 wideout George Pickens (hamstring) to the injury report Friday, offering sneaky streaming value if Pickens is unable to take the field against the Browns. Fantasy managers will need to monitor early inactives prior to finalizing lineups.
Calvin Austin III (concussion) was upgraded to a full participant at practice on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Austin is in the NFL's concussion protocols right now and was limited at Wednesday's practice as a result, but he was able to log a full practice session on Thursday. That's a great sign for his availability for Week 14, and although he hasn't officially been cleared yet, fantasy managers should expect him to be active against the Browns on Sunday.
Calvin Austin III (concussion) was officially limited in Pittsburgh's practice on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Austin recently entered the NFL's concussion protocols and was limited at Wednesday's practice as a result. It's an encouraging sign that he was able to participate in the team's first practice of the week, and it looks like he will have a solid shot at suiting up in Week 14. He is the primary downfield threat for the Steelers but is an unreliable fantasy option at this point.
Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said Calvin Austin III was placed in the NFL's concussion protocol.
Fantasy Impact
Austin caught two passes for 29 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Bengals. He'll have till Saturday to clear the protocols.
