After finding the end zone for a total of 10 times during the 2015 season, expectations were high for Tavon Austin this year, which is why the Los Angeles Rams thought it would be wise to reward the wideout with a $42 million extension. Instead, Austin has continued to show he’s far from the No. 1 wide receiver the Rams need him to be, but that doesn’t mean he can’t make an impact on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints.
Even though Austin is coming off a game against the Miami Dolphins in which he only caught one pass for 21 yards on just two targets, a matchup against the Saints may be what the wideout needs to finally get the ball rolling in the passing game.
