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.

Despite returning to practice this week, Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce (concussion) is being ruled out for Week 5 against the Las Vegas Raiders for the second straight week since he was unable to clear the NFL's concussion protocol, according to Stephen Holder of ESPN. Pierce was able to practice in full on Wednesday and Thursday, but he suffered a setback on Friday with his head injury, according to head coach Shane Steichen. It sounds like Pierce should have a pretty good chance to make his return for a Week 6 date with the Arizona Cardinals next Sunday, but head injuries can be tricky. Adonai Mitchell had a big opportunity to make some noise in the Week 4 loss to the Los Angeles Rams with Pierce out, but he failed to do so and had a costly fumble just before scoring a long touchdown. He might not even be active this Sunday, which would propel Ahston Dulin into WR3 duties behind Michael Pittman Jr. and Josh Downs.
