Who Should I Start? Brandon Aiyuk or Tutu Atwell

Friday, October 3, 9:46 AM

NFL Insider Ian Rapoport reported on Thursday Night Football that San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (knee), coming off a significant knee injury, is "still weeks away" from returning. Aiyuk was placed on the PUP list to start the season, which required him to miss at least the first four games of the year. It appears he will miss more time, with an uncertain timetable for his return. Fantasy managers who have the room to continue to hold him on their IR should, but with the number of injuries that have transpired over the last two weeks, fantasy managers who need to make room on their team for players closer to returning might want to consider that, as Aiyuk is looking like he won't return anytime in the next few weeks.

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.
