Who Should I Start? Calvin Austin III or Spencer Rattler

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Calvin Austin III (calf) practiced in full on Saturday. He has been removed from the injury report and will play in Monday's Week 15 contest against the Miami Dolphins. The 26-year-old is the No. 2 receiver on the depth chart, but he has been held to two or fewer targets in four of his last five games. During those five weeks, he's averaging just 1.6 catches, 17.2 yards, and zero touchdowns per game. Pittsburgh could go run-heavy this week because Miami's defense has allowed the 10th-most rushing yards to opposing running backs in 2025. The Dolphins have also allowed the third-fewest receiving yards to opposing wide receivers. All signs point to Austin having another dud week despite being cleared to suit up. He should be avoided in fantasy football on Monday.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler has been benched during Sunday's Week 8 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Rattler threw three interceptions last week and wasn't having much more success this weekend. He completed 15-of-21 passing attempts for 136 yards with an interception before being pulled in the second half of this game. Tyler Shough has taken over under center for at least the rest of this game. Given the Saints record, it wouldn't be shocking if Shough got a chance at the starting gig in the second half of the season.
