Who Should I Start? George Pickens or Calvin Austin III

Saturday, November 15, 4:59 PM

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens has proven to be a consistent weapon for Dak Prescott and the Cowboys all season. Pickens is coming off a solid Week 9 outing, posting six catches for 79 yards against the Cardinals. Now coming out of the bye, the Cowboys are set to face the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 11. Expect Pickens to remain heavily involved, as he continues to operate as one of the top targets in the Dallas offense. The Raiders' defense has struggled this season, allowing around 214 passing yards per game, giving the Cowboys plenty of opportunities to move the ball through the air. With Pickens seeing at least nine targets in each of his last two games, he should remain a strong fantasy option once again. RotoBaller currently has Pickens ranked as the WR11 for Week 11.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Calvin Austin III has earned a healthy dose of targets lately, but he has been relatively unproductive as fantasy managers are left wanting more from the 26-year-old. Austin missed two weeks with a shoulder injury earlier this season, and in three games since his return, he's averaging 6.7 targets, 3.7 catches, and 32.7 receiving yards. That equates to fewer than seven points per game, even in full-PPR leagues. We saw Austin flash big-play upside before his injury, so it's been frustrating to see him produce low yardage totals despite decent target shares. The 26-year-old held onto his job as the No. 2 receiver after the trade deadline, which is a good sign, but he's no longer reliable in fantasy lineups. Managers should leave him on the bench until he re-proves that he can produce consistently.
