Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington (chest) returned to Sunday's NFC Championship game during the fourth quarter. He had exited in the third quarter and was initially listed as questionable before being cleared to re-enter. Even though he climbed further up the depth chart with Tutu Atwell (coach's decision) inactive, Whittington had not been targeted prior to his departure. However, he did contribute on special teams with five kick returns for a total of 116 yards. On offense, he and Konata Mumpfield will occupy depth roles behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams in the waning minutes of the fourth quarter.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington (chest) exited during the third quarter of Sunday's NFC Championship against the Seattle Seahawks. He is officially listed as questionable to return. He had not been targeted at the time of his departure, but he was third on the depth chart with Tutu Atwell (coach's decision) inactive for the second week in a row. Most of Los Angeles' passing game funnels through Puka Nacua, Davante Adams, and Colby Parkinson, so Whittington's exit doesn't have enormous implications for the Rams. Nevertheless, with Atwell inactive, Los Angeles could use all the wide receiver depth it can get. As long as Whittington remains on the sideline, Konata Mumpfield should operate as the No. 3 receiver behind Nacua and Adams.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington was the wideout most frequently on the field with Puka Nacua and Davante Adams in three-receiver sets in Sunday's Divisional Round win over the Bears. However, his two targets in the overtime win were only the seventh most on his own team, and he was largely a non-factor after missing the Divisional Round with a knee injury. With the Rams frequently favoring two or three tight end alignments, Whittington is not a player that needs to be rostered in fantasy playoff leagues. With four teams left in action, he is RotoBaller's WR14 for the Conference Championship Round.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington (knee) practiced in full all week and has been removed from the final injury report on Friday, per ESPN's Sarah Barshop. Whittington will be active for the NFC Divisional Round on Sunday against the Chicago Bears after missing the Wild-Card win over the Carolina Panthers due to a knee injury he suffered in the Week 18 regular-season finale versus the Arizona Cardinals. The 25-year-old pass-catcher is well off the fantasy radar despite recovering from his knee injury. It's hard to trust any Rams receiver beyond Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, and all of L.A.'s wideouts will be more risky this weekend with a blizzard expected in Chicago on Sunday. Whittington only caught 18 of his 25 targets during the regular season for 171 yards, and he wasn't able to find the end zone at all.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington (knee) was not listed on this week's injury report and appears to be on track to return for the Divisional Round of the playoffs this Sunday against the hosting Chicago Bears, according to Adam Grosbard of the Los Angeles Daily News. Whittington suffered a knee injury in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Arizona Cardinals and didn't play in the Wild-Card win over the Carolina Panthers last Saturday. The 25-year-old has recovered nicely from his knee injury, but he won't be a recommended fantasy football play in postseason leagues with receivers Puka Nacua and Davante Adams soaking up most of the targets. Whittington had only 18 receptions the entire regular season on 25 targets for 171 yards and no touchdowns in 17 games. He's too far buried on L.A.'s WR depth chart.
Jan 14, 2026 8:23 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington (knee) is considered questionable for Saturday's Wild-Card playoff contest against the Carolina Panthers, according to Adam Grosbard of the Los Angeles Daily News. Whittington injured his knee in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday and didn't practice at all this week, suggesting that he's unlikely to play this weekend. The 25-year-old has not been a big part of the offense all year long, catching only 18 passes for 171 yards and no touchdowns. The Rams will be getting Davante Adams (hamstring) back after he missed the final three games of the regular season, so there won't be a ton of WR targets to go around behind Adams and star wideout Puka Nacua against the Panthers. Konata Mumpfield, Xavier Smith, and Tutu Atwell will be battling for scraps behind Adams and Nacua.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington (knee) missed practice again on Wednesday due to a knee injury, per Adam Grosbard of the Los Angeles Daily News. Whittington was injured in the Week 18 regular-season finale on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals and is looking unlikely to be available to play in the Wild-Card playoff matchup on Saturday on the road against the Carolina Panthers. The 25-year-old hasn't been a fantasy asset all year, though, catching only 18 passes for 171 yards and no touchdowns on 25 targets for the Rams. If Whittington is unable to play this weekend in Carolina, it could open up a few more snaps on offense for the likes of receivers Xavier Smith, Konata Mumpford, and Tutu Atwell behind top wideouts Puka Nacua and Davante Adams (hamstring).
Jan 7, 2026 7:46 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's estimated injury report, according to Sarah Barshop of ESPN. Whittington suffered a knee injury in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Arizona Cardinals, and he was reportedly set for an MRI exam early this week. It suggests that the 25-year-old's knee injury could be serious enough to sideline him from the Wild-Card playoff matchup on Saturday versus the Carolina Panthers. The good news is that the Rams have veteran Pro Bowl wideout Davante Adams (hamstring) fully expected to return this weekend for the start of the postseason. Even when active, Whittington isn't a realistic fantasy WR. He had a total of just 18 catches during the regular season for 171 yards and no touchdowns.
Jan 6, 2026 6:54 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington (knee) will undergo an MRI exam on Monday, according to head coach Sean McVay. Whittington injured his knee in Sunday's Week 18 win over the Arizona Cardinals in the regular-season finale and was unable to return. The 25-year-old pass-catcher was not targeted at all before getting injured, and he doesn't have more than one catch in a game since Nov. 23 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, when he caught all three of his targets for 17 yards. Even if Whittington's knee injury ends up being minor and he's able to play on Wild-Card weekend against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, he won't be a realistic DFS play with Davante Adames (hamstring) expected to return to the lineup. In 17 games in 2025, Whittington caught just 18 passes for 171 yards and no touchdowns.
Jan 5, 2026 3:37 PM EST
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.
