New England Patriots rookie wide receiver Javon Baker was a healthy scratch for the Week 1 game against the Cincinnati Bengals. While this is a concern for his future outlook, some first-year players take longer to adjust to the NFL than others. Patriots wide receiver coach Tyler Hughes said, "I think we'll see him more and more as the season goes on." Four Patriots wideouts saw targets in Week 1, including K.J. Osborn (six), Demario Douglas (three), Tyquan Thornton (three), and Ja'Lynn Polk (one). It's worth noting Kendrick Bourne (knee) is on the PUP list, but he could return as soon as Week 5. Fantasy managers should probably expect Baker to have little to no fantasy value in Year 1, but he could make noise later in his career and should continue to be stashed in deep dynasty leagues.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington (shoulder) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks. He had been listed as questionable after logging limited practices ahead of Week 9. The 24-year-old has been dealing with an injury ever since Week 7, and it's going to result in him being sidelined for at least one more game. Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua continue to be the only must-start fantasy receivers within the Rams' offense.
