Calvin Austin IIIWRNYG
During his time with the Steelers, Austin was a better asset in best ball formats than other fantasy formats; he's a big-play threat with four top-15 weeks across three seasons but only 8 total TDs in that span. Now with the Giants, he's buried in a crowded receiver room behind Malik Nabers, with competition from Darius Slayton, Darnell Mooney, Malachi Fields, JuJu Smith-Schuster, and recently signed Odell Beckham. The source states there's no single player outside of Nabers to feel comfortable drafting and that Austin is not worth a roster spot heading into 2026.
