Who Should I Start? Tutu Atwell or Tre Tucker

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tutu Atwell (hamstring) will not be activated off Injured Reserve for Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals, according to Nate Atkins of The Athletic. The 26-year-old wideout has been sidelined since suffering a hamstring injury during the Rams' Week 7 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. The Rams opened Atwell's 21-day practice window last week, and while he's been a full participant for every practice, his return will wait at least another week. Teammates Jordan Whittington, Xavier Smith, and Konata Mumpfield will continue to split reps behind the Rams' star wide receiver duo of Davante Adams and Puka Nacua. Atwell's next chance to return to the field will be for a Week 15 showdown against the Detroit Lions in L.A.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker has recorded three receptions or fewer in four of the past five games since Brock Bowers returned in Week 9 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Tucker has operated as the Raiders' primary wide receiver, but the production has been limited. The 24-year-old had an intriguing two-game stretch in Weeks 11 and 12, totaling seven receptions (18 targets) for 75 yards and scoring his first touchdown since Week 3. Tucker has recorded at least two receptions in every game this season and remains a viable fantasy option in deep leagues due to his volume of routes. He faces a tough matchup in Week 14 against an elite Denver Broncos secondary that held him to two catches for 28 yards in their Week 10 meeting. Tucker is tough to trust as anything more than a low-end flex option in a struggling Raiders offense.
