3. Tavon Austin

No player from Los Angeles was more frustrating when it comes to fantasy football opening weekend than Austin.

After signing a hefty four-year, $42 million extension in preseason, there’s no more excuses for Austin’s lack of production in the offense, and so far, the wide receiver is off to a poor start. Austin received the most targets (12) on offense against the 49ers, but he only finished the game with four catches for a disappointing 13 yards.

How on earth does a former first-round pick that just signed a $42 million extension only average 3.3 yards-per-catch? There are no words to explain why, but it’s easy to see why the Rams and their fans are feeling frustration towards Austin.

So how will Austin make out against a very tough defense in Seattle? Well, it’s not looking good, but the potential for another high amount of targets is the only reason why fantasy owners will even slightly consider Austin in Week 2.
