2025 Fantasy Outlook
Despite never living up to his status as second-round pick (2021) during his rookie contract, Atwell is back with the Rams for a fifth season on a one-year, $10 million deal. He didn't score any touchdowns last year but otherwise finished with a bunch of career highs, including 42 catches, 562 targets, a 67.7 percent catch rate and 9.1 yards per target. Atwell drew targets on 24.3 percent of routes and produced 2.20 yards per route, but he didn't get much playing time Weeks 8-17 when both Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp were available. Kupp and Demarcus Robinson are gone now, replaced by Davante Adams, which leaves Atwell and Jordan Whittington as the top candidates for the No. 3 receiver job. Atwell's 4.42 speed might seem to make him the better fit alongside a pair of big receivers like Adams and Nacua, but there is some chance the Rams go with all size and no speed if they want Whittington as a more direct replacement for Kupp in the slot. Either way, Atwell probably needs an injury to Nacua or Adams to have any chance at more than a handful of targets per game. Read Past Outlooks

Expected to see increased snaps
Rams coach Sean McVay indicated that Atwell is going to be on the field "a lot more" this upcoming season after re-signing with Los Angeles on a one-year, $10 million contract in March, Stu Jackson of the team's official website reports.
ANALYSIS
"I haven't done a good enough job of utilizing him," McVay said. "When you look at the times when he's been able to play, whether that be because some people were out or not, he has produced and he's delivered, and we're looking forward to seeing more of that ascension. He's going to be on the field a lot more, particularly in a lot of those three-receiver sets." With the ouster of Cooper Kupp and Demarcus Robinson's exit in free agency coupled with the signing of Davante Adams, the Rams are expected to field a three-wide set of Puka Nacua, Adams and Atwell in 2025. As McVay noted, Atwell was particularly impressive on a per-snap basis in the 2024 regular season, posting a strong 2.24 yards-per-route. He'll be worth following this summer ahead of fantasy drafts as a potential late-round option.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
2021
Atwell looked like a breakout player after three games last year. During that time, he caught 17 passes for 246 yards and a touchdown. Atwell slowed down after that stretch, largely due to decreased usage in the offense. Then, after the Week 10 bye, the veteran mostly disappeared from the offense. Aside from a game in which Atwell had three catches for 76 yards, the receiver posted a total of 33 yards in the last six games. It should be noted that Atwell was phased out while DeMarcus Robinson took on a major role. Going into his fourth season, Atwell would have enhanced value if coach Sean McVay restored the role Atwell had early in 2023. At this point, that seems unlikely.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Increased usage likely in '25
Head coach Sean McVay recently said he plans to utilize Atwell, who re-signed with the Rams in March, more often next season, Stu Jackson of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Atwell did put together a career-best season in 2024, setting new personal highs with 17 regular-season games played, as well as 45 receptions for 562 yards. The Louisville product also generated a career-high 67.7 percent catch rate, largely benefitting overall from multi-week absences on the part of Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua. With Kupp departing this offseason, Atwell is currently No. 3 on the wide receiver depth chart behind Nacua and new arrival Davante Adams.
