2024 Receiving Projections
Entering draft
Atwell announced Monday via his personal Twitter account that he will forgo his remaining eligibility at Louisville to enter the 2021 NFL Draft.
ANALYSIS
Atwell had one game remaining on the regular-season schedule with the Cardinals but will instead shift his focus toward preparing for the NFL Combine and, subsequently, the draft. He finished ou his junior campaign with 46 receptions for 625 yards and seven touchdowns and figures to be inside the top 10 wideouts drafted in another loaded wide receiver class. Atwell profiles as a burner at the next level, having averaged 18.4 yards per catch en route to massive numbers as a junior in 2019.

2020 Fantasy Outlook
What a difference a year makes. Atwell was surely ignored during 2019 drafts but likely became a popular league winner off waiver wires after erupting for 69 catches on 106 targets, 1,272 yards and 12 touchdowns. Atwell was so dominant that he doubled the production of any other Cardinal receiver, accounting for 39 percent of his team's catches and 42 percent of their receiving yards. There may not be a more dynamic threat in the ACC, a conference that is loaded with receiving talent, as Atwell is a threat to score every time he touches the ball. As such, and especially given his smaller frame, it's somewhat surprising he's not utilized in the rushing game more frequently, as he had only eight carries last season. A returning quarterback in Micale Cunningham should help easy any concerns that Atwell is a one-year wonder, though Cunningham was more efficient (194.8 passer rating) than the eye test often revealed. With the Cardinals also returning their top two rushers and three of their top four receivers, there should be plenty of offensive continuity, and perhaps the opportunity to get more creative in finding ways to get Atwell the ball in space.
