Tutu Atwell, Puka Nacua Stepping Into Larger Roles

Tutu Atwell, Puka Nacua Stepping Into Larger Roles

one year ago

With Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp (hamstring) ruled out for Week 1 against the Seattle Seahawks, Tutu Atwell and Puka Nacua become the team's Nos. 2 and three wideouts. Depth receiver Ben Skowronek would likely have played more on special teams this year than in the offense, but if Kupp misses more time, he could step in and has knowledge of each receiving position as well. The Rams also have veteran Demarcus Robinson. Van Jefferson is taking over the No. 1 role with Kupp out this Sunday. Atwell and Nacua become a bit more interesting as waiver-wire pickups before the season kicks off in much deeper fantasy leagues, especially since Kupp is a candidate to go on Injured Reserve.
