Depth/upside bet — WR role isn't locked starter volume yet.

DVS is our model view, scored on Engine-default half-PPR — not a guaranteed price in your league. Bye weeks and schedule strength are left out on purpose.

Quick answer

Hold

Austin caught 13 passes for 140 yards in 2025, finishing WR132. He scored about 7% less than his touches said he should. Only 5 games in 2025 — availability is the headline. The 2026 projection is cautious — wait for a real role change before paying up. This reads as a hold — nothing in the recent signal pushes it toward a buy or a sell.
