Who Should I Start? Tutu Atwell or Dontayvion Wicks

Wednesday, December 10, 6:13 PM

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said on Wednesday that wide receiver Tutu Atwell (hamstring) will be activated from Injured Reserve this week, according to Sarah Barshop of ESPN. Atwell hasn't played since Week 7, but he figures to be active for this Sunday's showdown against the visiting Detroit Lions in Week 15. The 26-year-old caught only four of his nine targets for 164 yards and one touchdown in six games played before his hamstring injury. Atwell is certainly a deep threat in an explosive Rams offense -- he's averaging a career-best 41 yards per catch -- but it's hard to envision him doing enough to be worthy of a waiver-wire pickup in most fantasy leagues down the stretch. Receivers Puka Nacua and Davante Adams draw the vast majority of looks from quarterback Matthew Stafford in this offense.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's Week 15 matchup against the Denver Broncos. Wicks was limited during the first two practices of the week before getting in a full session on Friday. He should be back in the mix this Sunday, but he won't draw an easy matchup. The Broncos have allowed the second-fewest yards per target to wide receivers this season. The Packers also have a ton of mouths to feed at the receiver position with Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Christian Watson, and rookie Matthew Golden all healthy heading into this game. Wicks had an epic two-touchdown game during the Thanksgiving Day win over the Detroit Lions. That performance put him on the fantasy radar, but he has quickly fallen off as the Packers get healthy. Fantasy managers can leave Wicks on the bench in Week 15 after he wasn't targeted at all last week in the win over the Bears.
