We'll see what happens with George Pickens (hamstring) in Week 16 at Baltimore, but Austin could be an option for Fantasy managers in deeper leagues if Pickens remains out. Austin has scored at least 10.9 PPR points in three of his past four games, including two touchdowns, and he has nine targets in his past two outings against Cleveland and Philadelphia with Pickens out. Austin would only be a desperation No. 3 receiver in deeper leagues, but it helps that the Ravens are No. 2 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers.

Austin recorded five receptions on five targets for 65 yards in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Eagles. Austin did his part to fill the void left by George Pickens' (hamstring) absence in the Pittsburgh offense by recording a season-best five receptions. His biggest impact came early in the third quarter, when he recorded a 31-yard reception that put the Steelers in scoring range. Despite the positive showing, Austin still has surpassed 50 receiving yards in only four games on the campaign.

Austin secured one of four targets for four yards during Sunday's 27-14 win over the Browns. Although the Steelers were without George Pickens (hamstring) during Sunday's matchup, Austin didn't see a significant uptick in playing time. The 25-year-old saw his highest number of targets since Week 10 against Washington, but he was held under 10 receiving yards for the second time in the last eight games, and he failed to score a touchdown after reaching the end zone in each of the prior two weeks. Austin has had some flashes of fantasy upside this year, but his output remains inconsistent.

Austin (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Browns, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports. Austin's lack of designation means he has cleared concussion protocol. He practiced without limitations Thursday and Friday after being limited Wednesday. The 5-foot-9 wide receiver brings a two-game touchdown streak into Sunday's clash between AFC North rivals, including a Week 12 score versus Cleveland. Austin has three touchdowns in six games with Russell Wilson at quarterback.

Austin (concussion) said Friday he expects to be cleared to play Sunday versus Cleveland, Chris Adamski of TribLive.com reports. Austin practiced in full Thursday, and while the Steelers haven't yet officially announced that he's cleared the NFL's concussion protocol, the expectation appears to be that he'll suit up Week 14. In his last two appearances, Austin has compiled five catches (on five targets) for 107 yards and two scores, despite playing only 23 percent of offensive snaps Week 13 versus Cincinnati.
