Week 10 of the 2025 NFL season rolls on and the action will continue tonight with an AFC battle featuring the Pittsburgh Steelers heading west to visit the Los Angeles Chargers at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC.

The Steelers ended a two-game losing skid last Sunday, toppling the Colts 27-20 to maintain their two-game edge atop the AFC North standings. Wide receiver Calvin Austin III was very present in the winning effort and he’ll look to keep it up at SoFi Stadium this evening.

Below, we’ll go over Austin’s outlook in fantasy football for Week 10.

Fantasy Football analysis: Steelers WR Calvin Austin III

Austin was the Steelers’ leading receiver in last week’s victory over the Colts, catching five of six targets for 56 yards in the win. It was a solid showing from the fourth-year wideout and notably the second-straight game where Aaron Rodgers targeted him a half-dozen times. He’s picked up where he’s left off as a reliable hand for the offense since returning from his shoulder injury and that should continue into the second half of the season.

Start or sit in Week 10 PPR leagues?

Sit. The Chargers are only allowing 5.3 net yards per pass attempt along with the second-least air yards in the NFL at 753. Even if Austin gets a healthy amount of targets tonight, they will most likely be for really short gains and will have minimal impact on the fantasy front. I’ll pass on him as a potential Flex option this week.

Start or sit in Week 10 Standard leagues?

Sit.
