Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 18 contest against the Arizona Cardinals. He exited in the first quarter and was initially listed as questionable to return before being downgraded to out. Whittington, who didn't command a target before his departure, suffered the injury while making a tackle on special teams. He was seen wearing a brace on his right knee, and he tried to test his knee on the sideline before walking to the locker room. The Rams are short-staffed at wide receiver with Davante Adams (hamstring) sidelined and Whittington's status in doubt. The 25-year-old's departure should create more offensive snaps for Konata Mumpfield, Xavier Smith, and Tutu Atwell behind superstar receiver Puka Nacua.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington hasn't made an impact on offense this season, recording just 18 catches for 171 yards and zero touchdowns on 25 targets. Even with Davante Adams (hamstring) sidelined recently, Whittington hasn't seen an uptick in playing time, playing just 18.1% of the snaps over the past two games. The Rams have relied more on the duo of Konata Mumpfield and Xavier Smith in Adams' absence while also leaning more into three-tight-end packages. That's left little opportunity for Whittington, even though he played a near every-snap role (92.2%) in Week 6 when Puka Nacua was sidelined. With Adams likely out again in Week 18 versus the Cardinals, the Rams are likely to operate similarly to what they've shown in recent weeks. Even in deep leagues, Whittington shouldn't be considered as a fantasy option.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington could earn more targets during Thursday's Week 16 contest against the Seattle Seahawks with Davante Adams (hamstring) not expected to play. Los Angeles has shown an inconsistent pecking order behind Adams and Puka Nacua this year, with players like Whittington, Xavier Smith, Tutu Atwell, and Konata Mumpfield all getting different opportunities to produce. With that said, Whittington is the early favorite to step up as the No. 2 receiver alongside Nacua this week. He had two games with a snap share of at least 80% before the Rams' Week 6 bye, and he also commanded four targets in the game that Nacua missed earlier in the year. His role has dwindled lately, and his usage fell all the way down to a 6% snap share last week (partly due to injury). However, he is still one of the more established and dependable receivers on the depth chart, and he should get the first crack at earning Adams' vacated targets. With that said, he'll be going up against a strong Seahawks defense that has allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers in 2025. Between his non-guaranteed role and a challenging matchup, Whittington isn't a dependable fantasy option in most leagues for Week 16.
Dec 18, 2025 1:22 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington (back) could be worth a look on the waiver wire this week in deeper fantasy football formats, with Davante Adams (hamstring) up in the air to play on a short week this Thursday night against the division-rival Seattle Seahawks. Whittington also found himself on the Week 16 injury report, though, and was listed as limited during the team's walkthrough practice on Monday. The 25-year-old played a season-low four offensive snaps in Sunday's win over the Detroit Lions, but that could have been due to his back injury. Whittington was targeted only once and failed to haul it in. He is probably a long shot for production this week against a tough Seattle defense, even if Adams is inactive, but he should be in on starting three-wide sets if he's on the field. Hurting Whittington's chances to make an impact is the fact that Tutu Atwell returned from IR last week.
Dec 16, 2025 4:13 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington remains off the fantasy radar in his role behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. Whittington is nothing more than a fantasy handcuff, and he's not a reliable fantasy option for Sunday's Week 13 contest against the Carolina Panthers. He's coming off a game against the Buccaneers in which he tied his season-high with three receptions, and he added 17 yards on a 61% snap share. Evidently, even when Whittington is having one of his best games of the year, he's still seeing relatively modest target and snap share numbers. Plus, this week, he's facing off against a Panthers defense allowing the sixth-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025. Whittington can be left on waivers in all leagues. He ranks as the overall WR84 in RotoBaller's fantasy rankings for Week 13.
Nov 29, 2025 6:56 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington has maintained a sizable snap share within his offense, but he continues to be a low-volume option. He has played at least 40% of the snaps in every game he has been healthy for this season, but he hasn't surpassed 6.2 fantasy points (PPR) in a single contest so far. In fact, over his last two full games, he has just one target, one catch, and nine receiving yards. The Texas product has also started to see more special teams opportunities, returning a pair of kicks in Week 11. Now, even in a relatively favorable matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 12, Whittington is not a reliable fantasy option. He ranks as the overall WR89 in this week's RotoBaller fantasy rankings. As long as Puka Nacua and Davante Adams are healthy, Whittington can be left on waivers.
Nov 22, 2025 4:35 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington has played in all 10 games this season and has served as the primary No. 3 wide receiver behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. Whittingon owns a 53.5% snap share and has run 44.7% of the team's routes this season, collecting 13 catches for 130 yards on 18 targets. The Texas product had a prime opportunity to produce in Week 7 against the Jacksonville Jaguars when Puka Nacua missed the game due to an ankle injury, but Whittington was unable to capitalize, catching just two of four targets for nine yards. There was optimism for the 25-year-old to step in and be a potential streaming option that week after he made two spot starts in Weeks 4 and 5 last season and totaled 13 catches for 151 yards on 18 targets. For now, he will continue to operate behind the Rams' two star wideouts and remain off fantasy radars.
Nov 19, 2025 12:27 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington (back) is officially active for Sunday's Week 10 contest against the San Francisco 49ers. He had previously been listed as questionable. Despite suiting up Sunday, Whittington can't be trusted as a reliable fantasy option. The 25-year-old saw his snap share drop to 44 percent last week, and he didn't command a single target in the Rams' win. With both Puka Nacua and Davante Adams healthy, Whittington's can be left on waivers in most fantasy leagues.
Nov 9, 2025 3:04 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington (back) was not a reliable fantasy option when healthy. Now, he's listed as questionable for Week 10 against the San Francisco 49ers and remains off the fantasy radar. The 25-year-old saw his snap share drop to 44 percent last week, and he didn't command a single target in the Rams' win. He has a total of 12 catches for 121 yards this year and hasn't topped three receptions in a single contest despite playing 92 percent of the snaps in Puka Nacua's stead during Week 6. Even when Nacua was sidelined, Whittington wasn't a reliable fantasy option. Now that Nacua and Davante Adams are both healthy and Whittington's status is up in the air, he belongs on waivers in all fantasy leagues.
Nov 8, 2025 3:08 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington has officially cemented himself as the No. 3 option on the depth chart after Tutu Atwell (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve. Whittington has multiple catches in each of his last three games, but he has been held to fewer than 6.5 fantasy points (PPR) in all seven of his contests so far. Even with Puka Nacua (ankle) sidelined in Week 7, Whittington was unable to achieve fantasy relevance. As a result, he remains off the fantasy radar in Week 9 against the New Orleans Saints. With Nacua back and the Rams having a chance to go run-heavy this week, there aren't enough opportunities to go around for Whittington.
Nov 1, 2025 11:41 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington will move up the depth chart for Sunday's Week 7 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Rams will be without top wideout Puka Nacua (ankle) for this game. That means, Whittington could move into the No. 2 role behind Davante Adams for this game. The 25-year-old has been quiet, but saw a season-high four targets and played 92 percent of the offensive snaps during last week's game. The expectation is that Whittington will be more involved with Nacua unable to play. There should be flex value here against a shaky Jaguars secondary this weekend.
Oct 19, 2025 9:00 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington has occupied a depth role for most of this season, but he could leap onto the fantasy radar as a solid streamer in the WR3/flex range this week. Previously, Whittington has split No. 3 receiver duties with Tutu Atwell. However, Puka Nacua (ankle) has been ruled out, which could put Whittington in line to start against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Whereas Atwell is more of a deep threat whose skill set aligns with a certain group of play calls, Whittington can be an every-down receiver. He played 92 percent of the snaps last week, and while his final stat line was underwhelming (four targets, three catches, 23 yards), he should be able to post better results in Week 7 with a full week of practice as the No. 2 receiver under his belt. Davante Adams will be Stafford's primary focus in the passing game, but we wouldn't be surprised if Whittington is next in the pecking order. He's facing a Jaguars defense that has allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025. Therefore, he's a solid low-end WR3/flex in deeper leagues.
Oct 18, 2025 11:53 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington is primed for a bump in playing time with superstar wideout Puka Nacua (ankle) expected to miss some time. Whittington hasn't played a big role on offense through six games with 10 catches (13 targets) for 112 yards, but played a season high 92.5% of snaps in Week 6 against Baltimore and caught three of four targets for 23 yards. In six games without Nacua last season, Whittington racked up 21 catches for 287 yards on 27 targets. If Puka Nacua is ruled out for Week 7 against the Jaguars, Jordan Whittington would be in flex territory and a worthwhile waiver wire target.
Oct 15, 2025 12:13 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington has recorded just 10 catches for 112 yards on 13 targets through six games so far this season. However, with star Rams wideout Puka Nacua (ankle) potentially sidelined for the team's Week 7 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Whittington could see his playing time skyrocket. In the six games that Nacua missed in 2024, Whittington recorded 21 catches for 287 yards on 27 targets. Nacua's injury is not expected to lead to a long-term absence, and the Rams will have their bye week in Week 8. Still, for deep-league managers desperate for a flex option in Week 7, Whittington could be a player to target on the waiver wire.
Oct 14, 2025 11:53 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington can be left on waivers in most fantasy leagues ahead of his Week 6 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Whittington has seen a decent workload at times this season, including Week 4 when he played 80 percent of the snaps. However, his production has been modest at best, as he has just seven catches for 89 yards and ranks as the overall WR99 in PPR leagues. Whittington and Atwell have both been off the fantasy radar in their roles behind alpha receivers Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. That should remain the case, despite a favorable matchup against Baltimore. As long as Nacua and Adams are healthy, Whittington and Atwell can be left on waivers.
Oct 11, 2025 12:31 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington continues to see his snap share increase ahead of Week 5 against the San Francisco 49ers. Whittington played 80 percent of the snaps in Week 4, which was not only his highest mark of the season but was also just three percentage points lower than Davante Adams and one percentage point lower than Puka Nacua. The second-year Texas product is seeing the field nearly as much as his superstar teammates, but it hasn't amounted to much production. He caught just one pass for seven yards last Sunday and ranks outside the top 100 fantasy receivers. As long as both Adams and Nacua are healthy, Whittington will remain off the fantasy radar despite being third on the depth chart and playing the vast majority of offensive snaps.
Oct 2, 2025 1:09 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington has been a consistent target for quarterback Matthew Stafford this season. However, as long as he's third on the depth chart behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, he can't be trusted in fantasy football. Nacua and Adams are target hogs, and justifiably so, as the two superstars form one of the best wide receiver duos in the NFL. To his credit, Whittington has played well as the No. 3, getting on the field for more than half of the offensive snaps while catching four passes for 49 receiving yards (plus 12 rushing yards). The 24-year-old is a name to keep in the back of your mind, as he could jump to the WR3/flex tier if Nacua or Adams were to miss time. For now, though, he can be left on waivers in redraft leagues.
Sep 27, 2025 2:11 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington has inched his way back onto the fantasy radar ahead of Week 3 against the Philadelphia Eagles. While he's not startable and may not even be worth rostering in most leagues, managers should absolutely monitor his production as he takes on a larger role in the Rams' offense. Just last week, he caught two passes for 42 yards. He did so while handling a 64 percent snap share, which was only five percent lower than star teammate Puka Nacua. If Whittington continues to see the field for roughly two-thirds of Los Angeles' plays, he's bound to have some fantasy-relevant showings, especially in an offense that passes the football so well. It will be interesting to see if he can continue to demonstrate momentum this week, but the odds are stacked against him. Philadelphia's defense has allowed the ninth-fewest fantasy points to opposing receivers in 2025.
Sep 20, 2025 11:43 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington could remain involved in the team's offensive attack this Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. Whittington's involvement in the season opener last Sunday was a pleasant surprise as he played 50 percent of the snaps and was on the field more than teammate Tutu Atwell. Whittington rushed the ball once in last week's win but did not command a target. His snap share was also slightly elevated due to Puka Nacua missing a portion of the game for a concussion evaluation. While Whittington seems to have shown the coaching staff that he deserves to get on the field, he still doesn't have the production necessary to achieve fantasy relevance. He can be left on waivers in all redraft leagues.
