Atwell caught his only target for six yards during Sunday's 23-15 loss to the Dolphins.
Analysis
As expected after last week's splits, Atwell served as a backup option to starters Cooper Kupp, Puka Nacua and Demarcus Robinson. The speedy veteran did outsnap Tyler Johnson and Jordan Whittington, but the former ended up with the most stats out of the trio of backups, catching three of four targets for 25 yards on his ten snaps. Atwell, who only managed 13 snaps of his own, looks unlikely to break out of his rotational role with the Patriots on deck in Week 11.
Atwell caught one of three targets for 16 yards during Sunday's 26-20 overtime win against the Seahawks.
Analysis
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 Rams' passing game in a Week 10 contest against the Dolphins.
Atwell secured one of two targets for 18 yards in the Rams' 30-20 win over the Vikings on Thursday night.
Analysis
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.
Atwell had six receptions off of nine targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 20-15 win over the Raiders.
Analysis
Atwell continued to lead a banged - 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.
Atwell recorded six receptions on 10 targets for 58 yards in Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Packers.
Analysis
Atwell saw a season-high 10 targets, though he failed to showcase the big-play ability he flashed in the 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.
Atwell brought in four of six targets for 82 yards in the Rams' 24-18 loss to the Bears on Sunday.
Analysis
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.
Atwell led the Rams in receptions (four) and yardage (93) off of five targets in Sunday's 27-24 win over the 49ers.
Analysis
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.
Atwell had three receptions off of four targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 41-10 loss to the Cardinals.
Analysis
Atwell bounced back from a no-catch performance in Week 1, finishing as the 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.
Atwell played six snaps and didn't record a target during Sunday's 26-20 overtime loss to the Lions.
Analysis
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.
