Unable to cash in on five targets
Austin logged 44 of the Saints' 68 snaps on offense and recorded one catch for five yards on five targets in Sunday's 14-11 win over the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Austin has handled snap shares north of 60 percent in each of the Saints' last three games, essentially making him the team's No. 2 wideout during that time. Despite seeing steady playing time, Austin hasn't made much of an imprint on the box score, producing a 5-54-0 receiving line on 10 targets to go with nine rushing yards during that stretch.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Austin joined Jacksonville as an undrafted free agent out of Notre Dame in May of 2022 and spent the entirety of last season on the practice squad. Starting the season on the practice squad is likely a best-case scenario for the 23-year-old again in 2023.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be Saints' WR2 for ROS
Austin was signed to the Saints' active roster Saturday, and the 24-year-old has an opportunity to emerge as New Orleans' No. 2 wideout behind Marquez Valdes-Scantling for the rest of the 2024 regular season, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.
ANALYSIS
Austin was unable to make the Saints' 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but he opted to stick around on the practice squad. He wasn't elevated to the active roster until Week 10 against the Falcons, but he ended up playing in three straight games due to injuries to Bub Means and Chris Olave, and over that span Austin accumulated six catches on seven targets for 85 yards. Austin played a season-high 43 offensive snaps in Week 13 against the Rams, and he should continue to see that kind of usage moving forward while playing alongside Valdes-Scantling and Cedrick Wilson.
