Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets: Tutu Atwell
Tutu Atwell (LAR): 13% rostered
- Next opponents: @GB, DEN, @LAC
- True value: $2
- Desperate need: $4
- Budget-minded: $1
Analysis: Last week, Atwell managed a 63.4% route participation rate while exploding with a 25.7% target share and 1.92 yards per route run. The diminutive speedster has looked good this season whenever he has been given opportunities. Among all wide receivers with at least 20 targets, he is eighth in PFF receiving grade and third in yards per route run. While his upcoming matchups aren’t amazing, he could lead this passing attack in targets while avoiding top corner matchups by lining up inside (62% slot rate in Week 14, per PFF).
