Who Should I Start? Jordan Whittington or Emeka Egbuka

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.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie wide receiver Emeka Egbuka has fallen off the fantasy radar so quickly as soon as All-Pro Mike Evans returned to the lineup, but also since the return of second-year wideout Jalen McMillan out of Washington. Egbuka has seen his snap share cut almost in half, and over the past three weeks, he has only seen 14 targets and hauled in eight of them for 140 yards. What is most concerning is that he has not been on the field as often, as he has only played 59.3 percent of the snaps over this three-game stretch, and is clearly behind Evans and Chris Godwin in the pecking order, and he and McMillan appear to be splitting snaps as the WR3. Egbuka was off to a blazing start to the season with five touchdowns and 445 yards through the first five games, but he has quickly fallen off the radar and disappointed in the second half of the season with only 485 yards since. At this point, he is still worth a roster spot in most formats, but he can't be trusted to start as anything better than a WR3, and his value is plummeting.
