Who Should I Start? Jordan Whittington or Arian Smith

Saturday, November 29, 6:56 AM

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.

New York Jets wide receiver Arian Smith had his lowest snap share since Week 1 in the team's 27-14 loss to the New England Patriots in Week 11. Smith played just 15.8% of the snaps and ran 21.2% of the routes, both significantly lower than his season averages. It seems the rookie wideout has moved into a depth role after the Jets acquired two wide receivers at the trade deadline in John Metchie III and Adonai Mitchell. Smith wasn't a fantasy-relevant option to begin with, catching six of 10 targets for 47 yards in 10 games this season.
