Tutu Atwell Fantasy

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tutu Atwell caught one pass for a 62-yard touchdown, leading all Rams receivers in their 20-27 Week 11 loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Rams' 23-year-old speedster beat Saints S Chris Harris Jr. down the left sideline and caught a well-placed Matthew Stafford pass at the fifteen-yard line before taking it to the house. Atwell is in his second year, and his touchdown this year was the first of his career. He made no receptions his rookie year and only one prior to this game. He can't be expected to do this every game, but the loss of Cooper Kupp does give him more opportunities.

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford and wide receiver Cooper Kupp both pointed out second-year receiver Tutu Atwell's improvement this spring. Stafford said he's noticed that "everything" Atwell does "seems to be that much more intentional." The 22-year-old played only 10 offensive snaps last year but had a role on special teams before injuring his shoulder and being put on Injured Reserve in November. Kupp, Allen Robinson II and Van Jefferson are the Rams' top three receivers, but Atwell could play a role in his second NFL season after being drafted in the second round out of Louisville in 2021. Fantasy managers probably aren't taking Atwell, even in the late rounds of drafts, but he'll be one to watch this summer.

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that rookie wide receiver Tutu Atwell (shoulder) will undergo season-ending shoulder surgery after he was injured in the Week 8 blowout win over the Houston Texans on Sunday. Atwell was being used as a return specialist in his rookie season, racking up 54 yards on 10 punt returns and 87 yards on five kickoff returns in eight games. The 22-year-old only ended up playing 10 offensive snaps in his eight games and wasn't targeted at all on offense. Veteran deep threat DeSean Jackson could be traded at the deadline on Tuesday, so rookie Ben Skowronek could see more opportunities behind Cooper Kupp, Robert Woods and Van Jefferson the rest of the way.
