Buy Or Sell: The Steelers unfairly held Calvin Austin III back last year because of Allen Robinson II.

Explanation: The Steelers traded for Robinson as a veteran wide receiver last year and paid him pretty well. Austin was a young player coming off a rookie season on the Reserve/Injured List, so anything he did was gravy. But with how little Robinson contributed beyond blocking, perhaps Austin could have had more opportunities.

While Robinson filled his niche, he didn’t exactly make much difference. He caught 34 passes on 49 targets, but a shockingly poor nine went for first downs.
