Another week, another Rams WR leads the passing game. Tavon Austin was excellent at Arizona, catching six balls for 96 yards and two scores while leading all WR in Week 4. He seven targets were enough to lead the team as the Rams only chucked the ball 24 times. The Todd Gurley Show was the main source of production in the second half.
Austin is a very tricky player to trust on a consistent basis. Here are his scores in standard leagues so far: 13.50, 4.60, 3.80, 23.60. Add in the fact Brian Quick should be entering the lineup soon and his ceiling drops even more.
The key that separates Austin from his Ram peers is his open-field abilities along with an ability to get the ball in multiple ways. Austin makes for a WR 4/5 and is a name worth considering for deeper leagues. I wouldn't feel comfortable using him at Green Bay in Week 5, but he has a WR-friendly schedule after the bye (CLE, SF, @ MIN, CHI, @ BAL).
FAAB: $5-8
