Tutu Atwell News

Atwell's second career touchdown came on a bit of trickery from Sean McVay, with Baker Mayfield faking a handoff to Cam Akers before flicking the ball to Atwell, who was able to navigate his way in for the score to give the Rams a 13-7 lead. Atwell was thrust into an expanded role with the Rams' receiver corps decimated by injury, and in the final eight weeks of the season, he put up a 17-244-1 line with a revolving door of mediocre quarterbacks at the helm that were mostly unable to unlock the true potency of Atwell's game-breaking speed. Atwell will return for the third year of his rookie deal with optimism that he can carve out a role in the offense alongside Cooper Kupp, Allen Robinson, Van Jefferson and Ben Skowronek.

Atwell couldn't parlay his game-breaking speed into any fantasy-relevant numbers on a day when Baker Mayfield netted only 111 passing yards. The second-year wideout does have at least one reception in seven straight games, but he hasn't topped 14 receiving yards since Week 14 going into the regular-season finale against the Seahawks.

Atwell failed to gain any traction in Baker Mayfield's second start with the Rams, finishing with a mediocre stat line despite the crooked score. The speedy wideout didn't receive a rushing attempt after losing yardage on the ground in his last two outings. Atwell's recent struggles should keep him off the fantasy radar for Sunday's matchup against the Chargers.

Despite being on the field for a nearly identical amount of snaps as he was last week, his six total yards of offense had to be a disappointment to fantasy managers after he displayed plenty of chemistry and put up a respectable 5-50-0 line in Baker Mayfield's debut against the Raiders. Atwell's attempt at a jet sweep was snuffed out by Adrian Amos, and a 10-yard reception in the second quarter would be all the offense the speedster would muster on the day. The Rams seem intent on using Atwell more as the season nears an end, but an imposing Denver defense will make relying on him difficult in Week 16.

Atwell finished second in receptions and receiving yards on the night for the Rams while pacing the team in targets, displaying impressive chemistry in his first game with Baker Mayfield as his quarterback. Atwell's catch total was a career high, and he's clearly carving out a larger role in the offense with a 10-183-1 line over his last four games. Given his instant chemistry with Mayfield, the receiver's game-breaking speed and the team's injury-decimated wideout corps, Atwell's fantasy outlook is exceedingly bright going into a Week 15 Monday night road matchup versus the Packers on Dec. 19.

The 48 yards led the Rams on the afternoon, as the team's passing game couldn't get much going with John Wolford under center in place of Matthew Stafford (neck). Atwell has seen his role grow with Cooper Kupp (ankle) and Allen Robinson (foot) also on the shelf, but no Rams receiver will be an appealing fantasy option in Week 14, even against the Raiders.
