The source predicts Atwell will post his career-best performance as a Ram in Week 7 against Las Vegas, becoming Matthew Stafford's No. 1 target with Davante Adams sidelined and Puka Nacua dealing with a calf injury. The source cites Atwell's explosive play ability and separation skills, referencing his 2023 season start (26 targets, 17 receptions, 246 yards, 1 TD in first three games) as evidence. Projection: 12 targets, 8 receptions, 143 receiving yards.

The source predicts Atwell becomes Matthew Stafford's No. 1 target in Week 7 vs. Raiders with 12 targets, 8 receptions, and 143 receiving yards. With Davante Adams sidelined by injury and Puka Nacua suffering a calf injury, the Rams will be thin at wide receiver and forced to lean on Atwell's ability to create separation. The source cites Atwell's explosive play ability and references his 2023 season start (26 targets, 17 receptions, 246 yards in first three games) as evidence he can handle a featured role. This will be Atwell's first game with double-digit targets in his career.

Tutu Atwell will be active for the Rams this upcoming week instead of being a healthy scratch, creating potential for a deep touchdown catch with Puka Nacua sidelined. However, Omar Cooper Jr. is not prioritizing him as a waiver add, expecting production to flow to tight ends instead given the Rams' heavy reliance on 12 and 13 personnel packages.

With Davante Adams suffering a late-game injury against Arizona, Atwell has an opportunity to earn a significantly larger role in McVay's offense against Las Vegas in Week 7. Depending on Adams' severity and availability, Atwell could see an expanded snap count. Even if Adams returns quickly, the source argues the Rams should give Atwell a more consistent role, particularly in obvious third-down passing situations, to avoid offensive predictability and add vertical explosiveness.

Atwell's brief on-field appearances correlate with strong offensive efficiency: +0.213 EPA per play (59 plays) versus -0.016 EPA per play when off field (351 plays), with a 50.8% success rate on field versus 47.9% off field. Despite only four targets this season, he leads the team at 16.7 air yards per target, indicating his vertical threat capability can stretch defenses and create opportunities for Nacua and Adams.

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.

Atwell played 32 snaps on offense and appears to have secured the WR#3 role within the Rams offense. This was a larger workload than he saw in any game last season, and tied his 2024 regular season finale against Seattle where the Rams rested key players. Counting only games where LA tried to win, this was his largest workload since his 43-snap effort in Week 5 of 2024.
