Quick answer
WatchAustin caught 1 pass for 7 yards in 2026, ranking WR172 through 1 game. Through 1 game the rank is WR172, off a WR132 season. Wait for more games before calling it a decline. Played a short 2025 (5 games) — health is the nearer question than talent. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
