Who Should I Start? Tutu Atwell or Jalen Tolbert

The Los Angeles Rams placed wide receiver Tutu Atwell (hamstring) on Injured Reserve on Monday, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Now that he's on IR, Atwell will be forced to miss at least four games and won't be eligible to return until Week 13 against the Carolina Panthers on Nov. 30. The 26-year-old has been a depth option for the Rams' WR corps this year, but he did have a two-week streak with three catches, 160 yards and a touchdown as a deep threat for quarterback Matthew Stafford. He was unable to capitalize on Puka Nacua's (ankle) absence in Week 6 in London in the win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in which he played just 10 offensive snaps due to his hamstring injury. While Atwell is on the shelf, look for Jordan Whitting to play a bigger role as a complementary piece behind Nacua and Davante Adams, who have been target hogs in the Rams' passing attack.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert has been a modest producer so far this season, recording 14 catches for 172 yards and a touchdown on 24 targets across eight games played. Tolbert's playing time and target share have been trending downwards in recent weeks. After earning 18 targets over his first four games of 2025, Tolbert has been targeted just six times over his four most recent contests. Tolbert was always projected to be behind star wideouts CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens on the Dallas depth chart. However, Tolbert was also out-snapped by both Ryan Flournoy and KaVontae Turpin in the Cowboys' Week 8 loss to the Denver Broncos. When Lamb was sidelined by an ankle injury from Weeks 4-6, Tolbert was largely outplayed by Flournoy. Even if Lamb or Pickens were to get injured, Tolbert may now still find it difficult to get on the field. He should remain off the radar of fantasy managers in redraft leagues.
