STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Atwell's on-field EPA (+0.213) far exceeds off-field (-0.016); McVay should expand his role vs. Raiders.

Atwell was inactive in Week 6 loss to Arizona but should earn a significantly larger role against Las Vegas, especially with Davante Adams suffering a late-game injury. The source argues McVay must prioritize Atwell on the field more often; when Atwell plays, the Rams' offense posts +0.213 EPA per play with 50.8% success rate versus −0.016 EPA per play and 47.9% success rate without him (59 plays on, 351 plays off). Despite only four targets this season, Atwell averages a team-high 16.7 air yards per target per Next Gen Stats, stretching defenses vertically and creating opportunities for Nacua and Adams. The source contends Atwell should be on the field for every obvious 3rd down passing situation and that rotating him into more packages is essential to avoid predictability and climb back into NFC contention.
