Calvin Austin III has solidified his presence in the Pittsburgh Steelers' offense, concluding the 2024 season with heightened snap counts and production. As the Steelers gear up for the 2025 season, Austin is expected to take on the role of Z receiver, contingent on the team’s roster decisions. This elevation in role presents an exciting opportunity for him to significantly impact the Steelers’ aerial attack and become a valuable asset in fantasy football leagues.

The upcoming offseason will be pivotal for Austin, as he could emerge as a primary target in the Steelers’ offense if they refrain from major trades. Fantasy managers should keep a close eye on his development and potential for increased targets, which could translate to valuable fantasy points, especially in PPR formats.
