Last Week: No. 1

Austin takes a three-spot tumble in the rankings thanks to the worst performance of his brief NFL career against the Steelers.

Diontae Johnson torched Austin for eight catches, 81 yards and a touchdown despite Pittsburgh’s revolving door at quarterback. It didn’t matter who the Steelers had under center, Johnson was open on almost every play. All they had to do was hit him in the chest for an easy completion.

Week 16 should serve as a learning experience for Austin. He has a lot of football left ahead of him. He can use his poor play against Pittsburgh as a springboard to adjust, fine-tune his game and move forward.
