These numbers are a significant jump from last season as through 13 games Atwell recorded just 18 catches for 298 yards and one score, so he is on pace to surpass these numbers as soon as this weekend if he continues to play as well as he does. 

The Rams have to be thrilled with Atwell's emergence, as well as Puka Nacua. In the absence of star receiver Cooper Kupp who has yet to play this season. Atwell and Nacua have combined for 38 catches for 462, and have emerged as the safety blankets for Matthew Stafford. 

Atwell and the Rams are set to hit the road this next week as on Monday they will be heading to Cincinnati to take on the struggling Bengals.
