Who Should I Start? Jonathan Mingo or Calvin Austin III

Tuesday, November 19, 10:00 AM

Newly acquired Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jonathan Mingo failed to catch a pass from four targets in a 34-10 loss to Houston on Monday. Dallas gave up a fourth-round pick in a trade with Carolina at the trade deadline, but couldn't get the second-year receiver involved at all against Houston. With quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring) out for the season and the Dallas running game unable to muster much of anything, it's difficult to see the situation improving at all. At this stage, Mingo doesn't need to occupy a fantasy roster spot, even in deep leagues.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Calvin Austin III logged three receptions for 78 yards and a touchdown on three targets in a Week 12 loss to the Cleveland Browns. He was a bright spot for a Pittsburgh offense that otherwise struggled on Thursday night. He made an impact early on by catching a 46-yard deep ball in the second quarter that set up an eventual field goal. Austin's third touchdown of the campaign, a 23-yard strike over the middle of the field, was quarterback Russell Wilson's first touchdown pass in nearly eight quarters and gave Pittsburgh a 19-18 lead with just over six minutes remaining. The 25-year-old has flashed some potential this season working opposite George Pickens. While he is not on the fantasy radar in most redraft formats, Austin is worth stashing in deeper dynasty leagues. A matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals is on tap for Week 12.
