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.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden has seen an incremental upward trajectory over the past several weeks for the Packers and for fantasy managers. Golden is coming off his best week yet, with a season-high six targets, plus five receptions for 58 yards. He's also starting to see the field regularly with route shares of 82 percent and 72 percent in his last two games. In addition, Golden's first-read target shares have increased substantially, going from three total first-read targets in the first two weeks of the season to nine in the next two contests. Interestingly, Golden was used much more in the slot in Week 4, flipping his role with Dontayvion Wicks, who had been used in the slot more since Jayden Reed (clavicle, foot) was injured. That could prove to be a launching point to get Golden in more jet motion and use him in space for YAC opportunities. After the Packers' bye in Week 5, Green Bay hosts the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 6. With the continued upward climb of Golden, he's a big-time upside flex play for fantasy managers this week.
