Rams' Tutu Atwell: Musters just one catch
Tutu Atwell caught one of three targets for 16 yards during Sunday's 26-20 overtime win against the Seahawks.Even with Puka Nacua (knee) being ejected at the end of the first half, Atwell managed just 26 snaps on offense and took a back seat to Demarcus Robinson and Tyler Johnson as the secondary targets behind Cooper Kupp. Taking out Weeks 3-8, where Atwell produced a solid 20-284-0 receiving line over four games, he has just five catches for 82 yards in the remaining four games. Atwell's role is likely to stay reduced with Kupp, Nacua and Robinson at the front of the Los Angeles Rams' passing game in a Week 10 contest against the Dolphins.

Rams' Tutu Atwell: One catch in Week 8 win
Tutu Atwell secured one of two targets for 18 yards in the Los Angeles Rams' 30-20 win over the Vikings on Thursday night.With Puka Nacua (knee) and Cooper Kupp (ankle) both returning from multi-game absences Thursday, Atwell predictably saw his opportunities narrow considerably. The fourth-year speedster had generated a 20-284-0 line on 30 targets over the previous four games, but he figures to continue in a hard-to-trust reserve role when the Rams face off with the Seahawks on the road in a Week 9 divisional battle on Sunday, Nov. 3.

Rams' Tutu Atwell: Leads team with nine targets
Tutu Atwell had six receptions off of nine targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 20-15 win over the Raiders.Atwell continued to lead a banged - Los Angeles Rams' receiving unit, posting another useful PPR line in the team's second win of the year. The 2021 second-round pick might see his production take a hit if Cooper Kupp (ankle) returns as expected for Thursday's upcoming matchup against the Vikings, as reported by Adam Grosbard of the OC Register. In that event, Atwell should still see a handful of targets against Minnesota in Week 8, but his value may be limited to deeper formats.

Rams' Tutu Atwell: Commands 10 targets
Tutu Atwell recorded six receptions on 10 targets for 58 yards in Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Packers.Atwell saw a season-high 10 targets, though he failed to showcase the big-play ability he flashed in the Los Angeles Rams' last two games. He managed a lengthy catch that went for 24 yards midway through the first quarter but was otherwise limited to work in short areas of the field. While Atwell has cemented a role in the offense due to both Cooper Kupp (ankle) and Puka Nacua (knee) sidelined, Kupp may be able to return as the team comes out of a Week 6 bye for a matchup with the Raiders in Week 7. Even if Atwell remains on the field, his opportunity would likely take a significant blow with Kupp back in action.

Rams' Tutu Atwell: Leads air attack again Sunday
Tutu Atwell brought in four of six targets for 82 yards in the Los Angeles Rams' 24-18 loss to the Bears on Sunday.Atwell finished second in receptions while leading the way in receiving yards for the Rams, an encouraging encore to his 4-93-0 line on five targets against the 49ers in Week 3. The ongoing absences of Cooper Kupp (ankle) and Puka Nacua (IR, knee) are fueling Atwell's increase in opportunity, and there's a chance Kupp isn't yet back in action for next Sunday's home matchup against the Packers.

Rams' Tutu Atwell: Leading receiver in Sunday's win
Tutu Atwell led the Los Angeles Rams in receptions (four) and yardage (93) off of five targets in Sunday's 27-24 win over the 49ers.Atwell also tied for the lead in targets for the Rams sans Puka Nacua (knee) and Cooper Kupp (ankle) in Sunday's unlikely win. The projected No. 3 wideout has excelled to the tune of a 10/185/0 receiving line through three weeks. He still remains a fringe WR or borderline flex option in standard formats as Los Angeles' offense continues to develop without some key names heading into a Week 4 matchup against the Bears.

Rams' Tutu Atwell: Nabs three receptions Sunday
Tutu Atwell had three receptions off of four targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 41-10 loss to the Cardinals.Atwell bounced back from a no-catch performance in Week 1, finishing as the Los Angeles Rams' second-leading receiver following Cooper Kupp's (ankle) early departure. With the team already down Puka Nacua (knee), Atwell could find himself in an increased role for Sunday's upcoming tilt against the 49ers.

Rams' Tutu Atwell: Invisible in defeat
Tutu Atwell played six snaps and didn't record a target during Sunday's 26-20 overtime loss to the Lions.Despite being held out through the entire preseason, Atwell barely took the field Sunday, even after Puka Nacua (knee) left the game. Tyler Johnson (5-79-0) took over as the tertiary wideout and was on the field for 51 snaps, which signals that he'll likely step in as the No. 3 wide receiver behind Cooper Kupp and Demarcus Robinson if Nacua misses time. Atwell's role seems set as a depth option for head coach Sean McVay, and an increased workload seems unlikely against the Cardinals in Week 2.

Rams' Tutu Atwell: Getting chance at No. 3 job
Tutu Atwell is competing with Demarcus Robinson for the No. 3 WR role but may ultimately fall further down the depth chart, Cameron DaSilva of Los Angeles Rams Wire reports.Atwell lost said role to Robinson down the stretch last season, despite starting the year strong while Cooper Kupp was sidelined by a hamstring injury. Atwell had 246 receiving yards Weeks 1-3, and then just 237 yards over 13 subsequent regular-season appearances (though he did score a 38-yard TD on his lone target in a playoff loss to Detroit). The 2021 second-round pick now seems likely to land in a depth role for the final year of his rookie contract, with some risk of falling behind not only Robinson but also sixth-round pick Jordan Whittington.

Rams' Tutu Atwell: Falls out of starting role
Tutu Atwell finished the 2023 regular season with 39 receptions for 483 yards and three touchdowns and five rushes for 31 yards.This season was supposed to be the next step up for the big-play threat, and in his first four games he looked like he was on that path as he put up an impressive 22-270-1 receiving line. Things went downhill from there, however, as Atwell put together just 11 catches for 197 yards and two touchdowns over his next seven games before losing his starting role to Demarcus Robinson. In the Los Angeles Rams' playoff loss to the Lions, Atwell burned past Kindle Vildor for a 38-yard touchdown but didn't get another touch the rest of the way, similar to the final six games of the regular season with just 40 snaps on offense before being used as a starter in the season finale with Puka Nacua, Cooper Kupp and Robinson all getting rest. Atwell has one year remaining on his rookie contract, but with Nacua and Kupp now entrenched as the top two targets for Matthew Stafford, it'll be difficult for the Louisville product to carve out a role beyond the third or fourth option at wide receiver.
