Tavon Austin (WR, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues

OWNED IN: 25% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: I'm not going to pretend that Tavon Austin deserves to be rostered but he should be considered. With the lacking amount of real talent on the Rams receiving squad, Tavon Austin stands out as the most obviously "talented" of the group.

Essentially the argument for Tavon Austin boils down to this: someone on this offense has to get targeted and targets lead to production. This week, Austin saw 7 targets, caught 6 of them, and turned those into 96 yards and 2 touchdowns. This comes a week after a 5 target, 5 catch, 38 yard performance against the Steelers.

If you've got a deep bench or are just lacking a bench player with upside, Austin could be the player that provides you with that spark your team needs.
