BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ team leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3
ANALYSIS: Since Week 3, Tutu Atwell has been a big part of the Los Angeles Rams' offense. He leads the team in targets (29), receptions (20), and receiving yards (284) in that span.
With Puka Nacua injured in Week 1 and Cooper Kupp going down in Week 2, Atwell stepped up when needed. Kupp should return for Thursday Night Football, which could slightly lower Atwell's fantasy value.
Rams got WR TuTu Atwell involved in more quick game stuff on Sunday. Liked the little swing pass to Atwell on the boundary. Nice blocking by Demarcus Robinson and Tyler Johnson. pic.twitter.com/I7YuJ8g2qj

Jordan Whittington is dealing with a shoulder injury, so keep an eye on that. He missed most of Sunday's game and was a non-participant at Monday's practice. He was limited in Tuesday's session.
There is a possibility Whittington will be out, especially on a short week. The Rams face the Minnesota Vikings, a team that has given up the most fantasy points to wide receivers this season and has allowed the second-most receptions and targets to wideouts.
Even with Kupp back, Los Angeles often runs three-receiver sets. Atwell should still see targets. Use him before Nacua comes back and possibly cuts into his role. He is a suggested start in 12+ team leagues looking for value in a time of mass wide receiver injuries.
