Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tutu Atwell (hamstring) will not be activated off Injured Reserve for Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals, according to Nate Atkins of The Athletic. The 26-year-old wideout has been sidelined since suffering a hamstring injury during the Rams' Week 7 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. The Rams opened Atwell's 21-day practice window last week, and while he's been a full participant for every practice, his return will wait at least another week. Teammates Jordan Whittington, Xavier Smith, and Konata Mumpfield will continue to split reps behind the Rams' star wide receiver duo of Davante Adams and Puka Nacua. Atwell's next chance to return to the field will be for a Week 15 showdown against the Detroit Lions in L.A.

According to Mike Masala of USA Today, the Los Angeles Rams won't activate wide receiver Tutu Atwell (hamstring) ahead of Sunday's road outing with the Carolina Panthers. The Florida native has been shelved since injuring his hamstring in the team's Week 7 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars abroad. Despite LA opening Atwell's 21-day practice window earlier this week -- and him logging three full practices -- he won't rejoin them against the hosting Panthers. For one more game, at least, teammates Jordan Whittington, Konata Mumpfield, and Xavier Smith will play behind snap leaders Davante Adams and Puka Nacua. When Atwell returns, he figures to slot back in ahead of Mumpfield and Smith in the hierarchy of the corps.

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said on Monday that the team will open the 21-day practice window for wide receiver Tutu Atwell (hamstring) this week, and "expect him to be ready to roll" in Week 13 against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, according to Adam Grosbard of the Los Angeles Daily News. The 26-year-old has not played since injuring his hamstring in Week 7, but he should be back this weekend to give the high-scoring Rams offense yet another weapon for MVP candidate Matthew Stafford. Atwell will help the Rams stretch the field, but for fantasy purposes, he won't be much more than a boom/bust deep threat in deeper leagues with limited volume. The former second-rounder has 41 yards per catch on the year, but he's caught just four of his nine targets for 164 yards and one touchdown in six games played.

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said on Friday that wide receiver Tutu Atwell (hamstring) could return from Injured Reserve next week, according to Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times. Atwell will not be available this Sunday night when the Rams take on the visiting Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but the 26-year-old wideout could be ready to roll on Sunday, Nov. 30, against the Carolina Panthers in Week 13. Even though the Rams have one of the higher-scoring offenses in the NFL, Atwell shouldn't really be in consideration for a waiver-wire pickup in most fantasy leagues with his return on the horizon. Before his hamstring injury, the former second-rounder in 2021 out of Louisville had a mere four catches for 164 yards and one touchdown in six games played as an inconsistent deep threat.

The Los Angeles Rams placed wide receiver Tutu Atwell (hamstring) on Injured Reserve on Monday, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Now that he's on IR, Atwell will be forced to miss at least four games and won't be eligible to return until Week 13 against the Carolina Panthers on Nov. 30. The 26-year-old has been a depth option for the Rams' WR corps this year, but he did have a two-week streak with three catches, 160 yards and a touchdown as a deep threat for quarterback Matthew Stafford. He was unable to capitalize on Puka Nacua's (ankle) absence in Week 6 in London in the win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in which he played just 10 offensive snaps due to his hamstring injury. While Atwell is on the shelf, look for Jordan Whitting to play a bigger role as a complementary piece behind Nacua and Davante Adams, who have been target hogs in the Rams' passing attack.
Oct 27, 2025 5:30 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams tight end Tutu Atwell should have a significantly large role against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. Teammate Puka Nacua (ankle) was ruled out, leaving Atwell and Jordan Whittington competing for the No. 2 wide receiver role behind Davante Adams. While Whittington played more than 90 percent of the snaps last weekend, Atwell has more experience in Los Angeles' offense. He's primarily a deep threat, offering the Rams a weapon downfield with his ability to shake defenders and get open for big gains. Over his last two games alone, he has three catches, 160 yards, and one touchdown. Deep-threat players tend to be a little more boom-or-bust, so we can't guarantee that Atwell will produce even with Nacua out. However, he should certainly occupy a larger role on Sunday, giving him a greater chance to offer WR3/flex value in fantasy football.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tutu Atwell (hamstring) was officially cleared to play in Sunday's London game in Week 7 versus the Jacksonville Jaguars. Atwell did not play in the team's Week 6 victory over the Baltimore Ravens, but he's good to go for this weekend after practicing in full on both Thursday and Friday. Top receiver Puka Nacua (ankle) has been ruled out, so both Atwell and Jordan Whittington should have elevated roles in the passing attack overseas behind Davante Adams. Still, fantasy managers in deeper leagues shouldn't consider the 26-year-old pass-catcher to be much more than a dart-throw WR4/flex in Week 7, as he's been used sparingly in the offense so far this year. He'll probably be a boom/bust deep threat for the Rams with Nacua out. In five games this year, Atwell has averaged a nice 41 yards per catch but has caught only four of nine targets for 164 yards and one touchdown.
Oct 17, 2025 8:07 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tutu Atwell (hamstring) is slated for an elevated workload in Week 7 when his team squares off with the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. The 26-year-old missed LA's win over the Baltimore Ravens last Sunday as he tended to a hamstring injury, but he's trending toward playing this weekend. He should be a boon to a roster that will be missing fellow wideout Puka Nacua (ankle). Despite only three combined receptions over his previous two appearances, Atwell eclipsed 70 receiving yards in each, amassing six total targets on far fewer than 50% of snaps. He'll have teammate Jordan Whittington to contend with for opportunities as well, but Atwell figures to see a solid increase in target share while Nacua is shelved, and should get the more valuable (downfield) targets of the two. He's worthy of a flyer in deep leagues.
Oct 17, 2025 11:27 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that wide receiver Tutu Atwell (hamstring) will be limited in Wednesday's practice, per Stu Jackson. Atwell missed the Week 6 win over the Baltimore Ravens due to a knee injury, but the 26-year-old is on the right track to make his return in London this Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. It couldn't come at a better time for the Rams, either, with star wideout Puka Nacua (ankle) up in the air to play due to an ankle injury that he suffered on Sunday. The Rams have been optimistic about Atwell playing this weekend, but he might need to get in a full practice on Thursday or Friday to avoid taking a questionable designation into the weekend. Atwell could see more playing time if he returns to the fold against the Jags, but he'll only be in consideration as a deep-league flex play if Nacua is inactive.
Oct 15, 2025 3:24 PM EST
According to head coach Sean McVay, Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tutu Atwell (hamstring) should be "good to go" for next weekend's matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. The 26-year-old had been productive on limited work over the previous two weeks, but a hamstring injury sustained in Thursday's practice was enough to force him from his first contest since 2023. With the news that teammate Puka Nacua (ankle) could miss some time with an injury of his own, Los Angeles would be fortunate to have the Louisville alum out for just a single appearance. Despite the injury, Atwell never missed a practice, insinuating he has a good shot to suit up for Week 7. He'd operate as the team's No. 2 wideout if Nacua is inactive, with Jordan Whittington sliding into the WR3 role.
Oct 13, 2025 12:08 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tutu Atwell (hamstring) is officially inactive for Sunday's Week 6 contest against the Baltimore Ravens. He had been listed as questionable after tweaking his hamstring during practice this past week. Atwell's absence robs the Rams of a tremendous deep threat, as he had caught three passes for 160 yards and a touchdown over the last two games. Nobody in Los Angeles' offense can stretch the field quite like Atwell, but we could see a couple more deep passes dialed up for Puka Nacua, Davante Adams, and even Jordan Whittington this week.
Oct 12, 2025 11:40 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tutu Atwell (hamstring) is currently listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's Week 6 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Atwell popped up on the injury report on Thursday and has been limited during practice. This could end up being a game-time decision considering hamstring issues can be tricky. Atwell has come up with a few big plays for the Rams over the last two games. His absence would likely mean more playing time for Jordan Whittington. Neither player is a recommended streaming option for this weekend.
Oct 10, 2025 6:22 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tutu Atwell caught one of his two targets during Sunday's Week 4 win over the Indianapolis Colts, delivering an enormous 88-yard touchdown that proved to be the game-winning play. As soon as Atwell got loose, there was no looking back, as he took off for the end zone and gave Los Angeles the victory. While this will show up in game logs as one of the top performances this week, fantasy managers should be cautious about rushing to grab Atwell off the waiver wire. He still has just two catches through four games this year, and his "boom or bust" status typically results in more bust than boom. We need to see a little more consistency from Atwell before discussing him as a fantasy-relevant receiver.
Sep 29, 2025 1:08 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tutu Atwell was unable to haul in his lone target during Sunday's Week 2 win over the Tennessee Titans. Atwell was projected to be the Rams' No. 3 receiver this season, and in a pass-heavy offense, that role sometimes leads to fantasy value. However, with two games in the books, it has become clear that Atwell is a non-factor. He has just one catch for four yards so far. Fantasy managers holding out hope will point out that the 25-year-old receiver has maintained a 42 percent snap share, but volume is volume, and Atwell hasn't been able to put together much of a rapport with Matthew Stafford so far. Early in the season, he remains behind players like Davante Adams, Puka Nacua, Jordan Whittington, and Tyler Higbee in the pass-catching pecking order.
Sep 16, 2025 2:00 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tutu Atwell could see his snap count continue to decline in Week 2 against the Tennessee Titans. During last week's season opener, Atwell, who was originally believed to be the team's No. 3 receiver, finished fourth among the position group in snap share (42 percent). He caught just one pass for four yards when all was said and done. To make matters worse, a portion of Atwell's snaps came when Puka Nacua was being evaluated for a concussion. With Nacua healthy, it's possible that Atwell plays even fewer snaps in Week 2. Plus, his productivity could suffer against a surprisingly solid Titans secondary that intercepted Bo Nix twice last week. Atwell is an intriguing waiver wire option if Nacua or Davante Adams suffer an injury, but for now, he should be left off your roster.
Sep 13, 2025 1:10 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tutu Atwell enters the season listed third on the depth chart, which likely leaves him off the fantasy radar for the time being. Although this week's matchup against the Houston Texans is enticing for receivers specifically, Atwell's volume will likely be impacted by the presence of Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, two star pass-catchers who could each command at least 10 targets. Atwell figures to be the primary deep threat option in Los Angeles, which means that he will have some big plays and touchdowns, but he'll also have his fair share of dud games. As long as he's in the No. 3 role, it will be too difficult to predict when those boom or bust games will happen. For now, he can be left on waivers in most leagues.
Sep 6, 2025 2:23 PM EST
The Los Angeles Rams plan on giving wide receiver Tutu Atwell a bigger role in 2025. "I think the fans are accurate in that I haven't done a good enough job of utilizing him," head coach Sean McVay said. The Rams cut veteran Cooper Kupp this offseason and replaced him with All-Pro receiver Davante Adams, but the 25-year-old Atwell could be utilized more often in the passing attack after posting career-highs in catches (42) and receiving yards (562) in 17 regular-season games (five starts) in 2024. Most of his production came in Weeks 3-7 when both Kupp and Puka Nacua were out with injuries. Atwell has 99 career receptions for 1,343 yards and four touchdowns in 54 games (23 starts), averaging 13.6 yards per catch. Demarcus Robinson is also gone, so Atwell should start in most three-receiver sets alongside Nacua and Adams, giving him some sleeper potential in deeper fantasy leagues in 2025.
Apr 2, 2025 9:37 PM EST
The Los Angeles Rams are signing wide receiver Tutu Atwell to a one-year, $10 million fully guaranteed contract. The 2021 second-round pick out of Louisville was set to be a free agent with his rookie deal expiring, but he'll remain with the organization for at least one more season. Atwell has hauled in 99 receptions for 1,343 yards and four touchdowns in 54 career games. The speedster posted career highs in receptions (42) and receiving yards (562) in 2024. With Cooper Kupp likely to be traded, the organization keeps one of its depth wideouts to play behind Puka Nacua and whoever the team brings in this offseason. While Atwell is not a target hog or high-end producer, he stretches the field for Sean McVay's passing offense and could see an increased role in 2025.
Mar 6, 2025 11:46 AM EST
According to Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com, wide receiver Tutu Atwell is unlikely to return to the Los Angeles Rams for the 2025 season. Atwell will hit the free-agent market but is not expected to pursue a reunion with the Rams. During his four-year tenure in Los Angeles, Atwell was typically deployed as a rotational piece in the wide receiver room. This past season, he set a career-high in yards (562) but did not find the back of the end zone. Atwell played in just under 40% of the team's offensive snaps and saw two or fewer targets in 10 of his games. The Rams could have a new wide receiver room in 2025 as the team is expected to pursue a trade for Cooper Kupp, and No. 3 wide receiver Demarcus Robinson will be a free agent. Atwell will likely find a new suitor and be deployed as a No. 3/No. 4 option that carries little fantasy value. If Atwell were to leave Los Angeles, Jordan Whittington and Tyler Johnson could have an increased role during the 2025 season.
Feb 8, 2025 2:13 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tutu Atwell had a team-high eight targets in the Rams' Week 18 loss to the Seahawks, but he only managed to total 37 yards on his five catches. The third-year receiver played 55% of the team's offensive snaps, which was only the third-highest mark at receiver, but he got plenty of attention from backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. Atwell finishes the season with new career bests of 42 receptions and 562 yards, although he failed to find the end zone this season. After Sunday's busy game, he will return to his regular role next week with Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp available to work with Matthew Stafford in the Wild Card Round against the Vikings.
