Tutu Atwell Fantasy

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.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tutu Atwell (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Houston Texans. The rookie has mainly served as a kick returner this season, with just 10 offensive snaps all year, so there's not much fantasy impact to an Atwell injury, unless you're in a league with kick return yardage.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tutu Atwell is deep on his team's depth chart, but he made a solid case for more work in the team's final preseason matchup against the Denver Broncos. Atwell caught eight of his 12 targets for 62 yards. He was the team's only pass-catcher that saw more than five targets. Despite having limited draft capital, the Rams made a point to draft Atwell with its first draft selection in the second round, and he figures to be a regular piece in the offense. Barring an injury to the players ahead of him, he doesn't figure to factor in for fantasy matchups. However, in especially deep leagues, he could be worthy of a stash.
