McVay: WRs Tutu Atwell, Puka Nacua step up

The Rams trailed 13-7 at halftime, but they scored the final 23 points of the game with wide receivers Tutu Atwell and Puka Nacua playing a major role. Each of them posted 119 receiving yards as part of a big return to action for quarterback Matthew Stafford and head coach Sean McVay showered both wideouts with praise in his postgame comments.

Atwell and Nacua are probably most known around dynasty communities, especially Nacua who garnered some attention this offseason when he was being used in a similar way to Deebo Samuel, and getting touches out of the backfield as well. Both players will likely get some attention this week on waiver wires after their Week 1 performances. With Kupp out of action for at least three more weeks, Atwell and Nacua could continue to get targets and touches.
