The Rams may need much more out of Tutu Atwell this season. Cooper Kupp and Allen Robinson will be the two starters at wide receiver, but Van Jefferson is dealing with a knee injury and Odell Beckham Jr. is still a free agent – and likely to miss at least a month or two of the season.
In the event that Jefferson can’t be ready for Week 1 or an injury occurs at some point later on, Atwell could be the next man up. He’s shown this summer that he’s prepared for a bigger role, making big play after big play. Just this week, he caught three 50-yard bombs in practice, including one from Matthew Stafford.
