Who Should I Start? Davante Adams or Jordan Whittington

Sunday, December 15, 5:55 PM

New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams caught nine of his 12 targets for 198 yards and two touchdowns during their victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. His 198 yards set a new season-high. This was also his second-straight contest, totaling over 100 receiving yards, and his third-straight game saw at least double-digit targets. Adams' first score of the afternoon came on a one-yard pass from Aaron Rodgers in the second quarter. Then, in the third, Adam broke free on a 71-yard TD reception. While it took Adams some time to adjust to the New York playbook, the veteran wideout is getting on track at the right time. Fantasy managers should feel confident viewing the 31-year-old as a high-end WR2 heading into Week 16, facing the Los Angeles Rams, who have allowed the 13th-most PPR points to opposing wideouts.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington (shoulder) is listed as questionable for the team's Thursday night matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. The rookie wideout sustained a shoulder injury in Sunday's 44-42 win over the Buffalo Bills, causing him to "miss" LA's first two days of estimated practice this week. Fortunately, Whittington was able to log a limited session on Wednesday before getting a questionable tag for their Week 15 matchup. The 24-year-old has taken a backseat in the offense since teammates Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua's return -- failing to log a reception since the Rams' Week 6 bye. However, he's been a solid kick returner for the team and still records snaps for the offense. If he can't suit up on Thursday, wide receiver Tyler Johnson projects to pick up a few extra snaps while running back Blake Corum and wideout Xavier Smith will handle return duties.
