Atwell secured one of two targets for six yards during Thursday's 12-6 victory against the 49ers. With Demarcus Robinson (shoulder) active, Atwell saw his typical playing time as the fourth option at wide receiver for the Rams. Despite this, Atwell tied his second-worst performance of the season with his 1-6-0 receiving line, which he also recorded Week 10 against the Dolphins. Another tough pass defense is on deck for Week 16 as the Rams travel to play the Jets, making the prospects for a breakout game for Atwell particularly bleak.

Atwell secured one of two targets for six yards during Thursday's 12-6 victory against the 49ers. With Demarcus Robinson (shoulder) active, Atwell saw his typical playing time as the fourth option at wide receiver for the Rams. Despite this, Atwell tied his second-worst performance of the season with his 1-6-0 receiving line, which he also recorded Week 10 against the Dolphins. Another tough pass defense is on deck for Week 16 as the Rams travel to play the Jets, making the prospects for a breakout game for Atwell particularly bleak.
Atwell secured all three of his targets for 45 yards during Sunday's 44-42 victory against the Bills. Demarcus Robinson (shoulder) briefly left the contest with an AC joint sprain, which was part of the reason Atwell saw his highest number of snaps on offense since Week 7 against the Raiders. While Puka Nacua (12-162-1) still commanded the most attention from Matthew Stafford, Atwell was the clear third option out of the stable of Rams pass catchers; aside from eight targets to Cooper Kupp and two to Kyren Williams, no other player earned more than one. If Robinson isn't ready for Thursday's divisional matchup with the 49ers, Atwell likely will slot in as the No. 3 wideout for the Rams, a role that's difficult to trust for fantasy purposes with Nacua and Kupp's dominance of the target share in recent weeks.
Atwell secured both of his targets for 39 yards and rushed once for no gain during Sunday's 21-14 victory against the Saints. The Louisville product saw similar usage compared to previous weeks, with a slight uptick due in part to Demarcus Robinson (hand) departing in the fourth quarter with an injury. If Robinson were to miss any time, Atwell would likely slot in as the tertiary wideout, with Tyler Johnson, Jordan Whittington and Xavier Smith combining for just 16 snaps in the victory. A showdown with the formidable Bills is up next for Atwell in Week 14.
Atwell secured all three of his targets for 30 yards during Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Eagles. Atwell logged the fourth most snaps amongst the Rams' wideout corps on Sunday, with his 17 offensive snaps barely edging out Tyler Johnson's 14, while Jordan Whittington and Xavier Smith failed to record a single snap. Atwell's biggest contribution on the stat sheet came in garbage time, however, as he snagged back-to-back catches of 12 and 11 yards, respectively, before Cooper Kupp scored on a 27-yard touchdown grab. The Saints, who have given up 256.6 YPG in the air this season, will be Atwell's next test in Week 13.
Atwell secured one of two targets for 21 yards during Sunday's 28-22 win against the Patriots. For the fourth consecutive week, the speedster only mustered a single catch. More troubling for Atwell's prospects is his declining usage, as he only took the field for seven snaps on Sunday. Puka Nacua, Cooper Kupp and Demarcus Robinson have dominated the touches at wideout for the Rams in recent weeks, and Atwell seems unlikely to expand his role in a Week 12 tilt against the Eagles.
Atwell caught his only target for six yards during Sunday's 23-15 loss to the Dolphins. 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. 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 target behind Cooper Kupp. Taking out Weeks 3-8, where Atwell produced a solid 20-284-0 line over four games, Atwell 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. 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 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. 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.
