Week 8 vs. Minnesota Vikings
Of the secondary pass catchers, Tutu Atwell seemed like an afterthought at the beginning of the season as Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp both got injured. Then slowly his snaps increased and he's been the most steady of all the options for Matthew Stafford. I'd like to think he's secured a role more than the gadget guy when Kupp and Nacua are both back, but with just Kupp he should have a full complement of snaps.
The Vikings are 30th aFPA against wide receivers, so the matchup is about as good as it can get for Atwell. We'll have to see if Kupp is back to 20 targets like he was the week Nacua went down or if Atwell has done enough to carve out more of a role. He's a flex option with some upside, but there's a lot of uncertainty here. It would be tough to make this call on a week with a lot of byes, let alone one with no byes. Proceed with caution.
