Kendrick Bourne Not Likely To Recreate Last Week's Surprise Success

Saturday, September 19, 2:10 AM

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Kendrick Bourne stunned in Week 1, bringing in all eight of his targets for 75 receiving yards. After an offseason of speculation over whether the Cardinals' WR1 was Marvin Harrison Jr. or last year's breakout star Michael Wilson, Bourne beat them both on the stat sheet. With the Chargers' secondary focused on his fellow wide receivers downfield, Bourne was free to operate underneath and snag quick, short looks from Jacoby Brissett. In Week 2, Arizona will host the Seahawks, whose defense will likely be less forgiving. In Week 1, Seattle found success by taking away deep throws and forcing quarterback Drake Maye to work in the short field. This might benefit Bourne, but Arizona will likely feature more two-TE sets to counter Seattle's stronger pass rush, thus reducing his time on the field. Bourne projects as a WR5/6 and is only worth considering in the deepest of leagues.

Tutu Atwell Addition Not a Precursor to WR Suspension in L.A.

Friday, August 28, 11:24 AM

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that Thursday's trade for wide receiver Tutu Atwell had "nothing to do" with a possible suspension for two-time Pro Bowl wideout Puka Nacua, according to Sarah Barshop of ESPN. "It gives us an opportunity to be able to have that speed element, and he can do some different things," McVay said. "It had nothing to do with anything other than just adding depth to the receiver room." Nacua's legal situation is "ongoing" after a woman in Los Angeles filed a lawsuit against him that alleged he made an "unprovoked antisemitic statement" toward her and later hit her on the shoulder. The Rams drafted Atwell in the second round in 2021, having spent his first five seasons with the team before signing a one-year, $1.4 million deal with the Miami Dolphins in March. The 26-year-old will be providing depth again in L.A. in 2026 behind Nacua and Davante Adames, who will continue to see the vast majority of aerial targets from quarterback Matthew Stafford. Atwell had a career-high 562 receiving yards in 2024 but fell to 192 yards and just one touchdown on six catches in 10 regular-season games last year.
