Who Should I Start? Tutu Atwell or Luther Burden III

Thursday, December 18, 1:31 AM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tutu Atwell will likely remain in his deep-threat role for Week 16 against the Seattle Seahawks, establishing a solid ceiling but a very low floor. This has been a familiar role for Atwell, who has just five catches through seven games this year but is averaging a whopping 15.7 yards per reception. The 26-year-old might see a slight increase in volume with Davante Adams sidelined, but since Adams and Atwell aren't very similar players, we expect most of the veteran's vacated targets to go to Konata Mumpfield and/or Jordan Whittington. Atwell will continue to operate as a big-play threat who could boom at any given time, but is far too risky to trust in Week 16 lineups. RotoBaller ranks him as the overall WR97 for this week, and he's at a disadvantage facing a Seahawks defense that has allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025.

Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Luther Burden III hauled in three of seven targets for 42 yards in the 31-27 win over the Green Bay Packers. Despite the wild victory over the division-rival Packers, Burden struggled, posting his worst statistical game since Week 13 and stopping on a route that led to an interception. The second-round pick has become a key part of the Bears' passing game, and he has an opportunity to explode in the Divisional Round. He faces a Los Angeles Rams defense that has allowed the ninth-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season and has struggled as of late, allowing big games to Amon-Ra St. Brown, Michael Wilson, and Jalen Coker in the last six weeks. Burden is a high-ceiling option at the wide receiver position who could be a game-changer in what should be a high-scoring affair.
