Tutu Atwell

The burner from Louisville finally got a chance to showcase his speed last season after failing to record a touch in eight games in 2021. In his final 10 appearances (four starts), Atwell had a 18-298-1 line on 33 targets, including a 62-yard touchdown reception Week 11. He also added nine carries for 34 yards and one more TD. The 2021 second-rounder likely will enter his third year in the NFL as the Rams' primary punt and kick returner with Brandon Powell off to Minnesota, and Atwell should be used as a field-stretching dynamo in the passing game. Durability always is a concern for the 5-9, 165-pound wideout, and feast or famine seems like the outcome Atwell will have in the fall.

The 2021 second-round speedster out of Louisville primarily was used as a punt and kick returner as a rookie, and Atwell looked like he would find some playing time when DeSean Jackson requested a trade before Week 8. A shoulder injury during that game against the Texans instead sidelined Atwell for the rest of the season. With Odell Beckham and Robert Woods also departing, Atwell should find some snaps as a wide receiver while retaining his role as a returner and could push Ben Skowronek for playing time as the No. 4 wideout for the Rams.

It will be interesting to see how involved Atwell, a 2021 second-round pick, is in the passing attack as a rookie. The Rams already have Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods atop the depth chart, and 2020 second-rounder Van Jefferson also should see more snaps this year. Additionally, veteran DeSean Jackson is a proven field stretcher, so Atwell could be eased in and not play consistently. Considering Los Angeles didn't give Jefferson many opportunities in his rookie year, the draft capital invested in Atwell isn't a guarantee he'll be heavily involved in the offense.
