Who Should I Start? Rashod Bateman or Tutu Atwell

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tutu Atwell should occupy a larger role than usual in Week 10 against the Arizona Cardinals, but he's still a somewhat risky play in fantasy football. Atwell has historically operated as a deep threat on offense, which gives him high upside, but also an incredibly low floor. Now that Davante Adams (hamstring) and Puka Nacua (knee) are both on injured reserve, the Rams may look to adjust Atwell's role so that he can contribute more often in a passing offense that is suddenly very short-staffed. Second-year wideout Konata Mumpfield projects as the Rams' No. 1 receiver this week, but Atwell is likely the No. 2 and could just as easily lead the receiver room in catches or yards. He's also heading into a favorable matchup, as the Cardinals have allowed the second-most receiving touchdowns and the eighth-most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2026. Atwell's increased role and favorable matchup are intriguing, but managers should still be hesitant to start him immediately because of his modest numbers (seven catches and 99 yards across seven games) this year. As a result, Atwell ranks as the overall WR56 in RotoBaller's latest Week 10 fantasy football rankings.
