Tutu Atwell Headed for Significant Workload in Week 7

Sunday, October 19, 9:54 AM

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.

Alec Pierce a Solid Flex Option in Week 8

Saturday, October 25, 9:29 AM

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce has carved out a productive role with his team in 2025. Pierce has caught 16 passes for 317 scoreless yards in five games as the Colts have looked his way often on deep passes downfield. The speedy wideout will look to keep it going in Week 8's home matchup against the Tennessee Titans. Tennessee does not represent a difficult matchup for Pierce as their defense is allowing the 13th-most fantasy points per game to opposing receivers this year. Pierce isn't a safe play in fantasy but he does have value as a boom/bust flex option in a week with six NFL teams on bye.
