Who Should I Start? Jordan Whittington or Casey Washington

Wednesday, December 11, 9:19 PM

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.

Atlanta Falcons rookie sixth-round wide receiver Casey Washington is already looking like a real value pick for the Falcons, as he's made some of the team's best catches in training camp and is in contention for Atlanta's fourth wide receiver role after the loss of Rondale Moore to a season-ending injury. Washington is competing with the likes of Chris Blair and KhaDarel Hodge for the No. 4 role behind Drake London, Darnell Mooney and Ray-Ray McCloud III. The Falcons' offense is much more attractive to fantasy managers now that head coach Arthur Smith is gone and quarterback Kirk Cousins is leading the show. The 23-year-old had 49 catches for 670 yards and four touchdowns in his final season at Illinois last year. For now with just a depth role in Atlanta, Washington is one to watch in dynasty/keeper leagues.
