Jordan Whittington a Non-Factor in Second Season in 2025

Thursday, February 19, 4:54 PM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington was more productive on offense in his rookie campaign in 2024 in two fewer games than he was in 17 regular-season contests in 2025. The 25-year-old former sixth-round pick out of the University of Texas caught just 18 passes for 171 yards and no touchdowns on 25 targets in his sophomore season in an explosive Rams offense. On special teams, he returned 17 kickoffs for 434 yards. Even though Cooper Kupp left, the addition of Davante Adams in L.A. left very few targets for Whittington and Tutu Atwell. Whittington has a total of 40 catches on 53 targets for 464 yards and no touchdowns in his first 32 NFL games (nine starts), and nothing points to him having a drastically bigger role going into the 2026 season, barring significant injuries to either Adams or Puka Nacua. In dynasty leagues, Whittington is a cut candidate.

Emeka Egbuka News

Emeka Egbuka Undervalued in Dynasty Formats After Underwhelming Close to 2025?

Sunday, May 31, 11:09 AM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Emeka Egbuka burst onto the scene as a rookie in 2025, recording 63 receptions for 938 yards and six touchdowns on 127 targets across 17 games. The 23-year-old's production slowed down a bit in the second half of the season, as he failed to record a touchdown reception after Week 9 and topped 60 receiving yards just once over his final eight games played. However, Egbuka profiles as the number one target in the Bucs' passing game entering 2026 following the offseason departure of star wideout Mike Evans in free agency. He will also get a chance to play more on the inside, which should allow him to improve on his subpar 49.6% catch rate. If Egbuka's slow finish to 2025 creates a dip in his value, dynasty managers should pounce on the opportunity to buy low on him heading into his second NFL season.
