Greg Brainos said Tutu Atwell is an easy late-round buy after combing through the newest quotes in his Coach Speak Index feed. Rams OC Mike LaFleur called Atwell’s “elite speed” a trait they want to feature and noted the 5-foot-9 burner would see the “most opportunities he’s ever had.” Brainos emphasized that Los Angeles backed those words with money, handing Atwell an unexpected second-contract guarantee even after trading for Davante Adams and letting Cooper Kupp walk. Because LaFleur’s offense already finished 8th in three-WR rate last season and Brainos expects similar usage, he projects Atwell to be the full-time field-stretcher with weekly spike-week potential. At a final-round ADP, Brainos views the combination of positive coach rhetoric, a new contract and an open WR3 job as the exact cocktail that fuels massive CLV in best-ball tournaments.

Josh Norris recommended scooping up Tutu Atwell in the 17th–18th rounds, noting that Sean McVay and new OC Mike LaFleur have both hyped Atwell’s camp performance and clarified his niche as the offense’s designated lid-lifter. Atwell carved out a defined deep-threat role last year, posting four separate games of 18-plus PPR points thanks to schemed verticals and play-action bombs. With the Rams maintaining one of the league’s highest play-action rates and Matthew Stafford still willing to launch, Norris believes Atwell supplies exactly the kind of boom-bust profile that pays off best-ball ADPs in the late rounds.

Pat Fantasy Dog Pound advised steering clear of Tutu Atwell in Eliminator drafts, noting that the receiver "just couldn’t get on the field last year," which is a huge red flag in a format that treats Weeks 1-3 as life-or-death. Despite Atwell securing a new contract, Pat said he never flashed the ability to command snaps or targets in 2023 and still sits behind Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp for perimeter and slot duties. Because dead weeks are punished immediately—six of twelve teams advance out of the opening pod—Pat wants receivers with guaranteed routes instead of hoping Atwell suddenly earns a role. In his view, paying any price for Atwell is courting early zeros that can torpedo an otherwise good roster.
