Jordan Whittington Officially Out For Rams on Monday

Monday, September 21, 3:55 PM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington (quadriceps) is officially inactive for the Monday night game in Week 2 against the visiting New York Giants, the team announced. In addition to Whittington, the Rams will be without All-Pro receiver Puka Nacua due to a groin injury, so their receiving corps will be thinned out beyond veteran Davante Adams. The 25-year-old Whittington was doubtful to play in Week 2 after missing practice all week with a quad injury that he picked up in the season-opening loss to the division-rival San Francisco 49ers in Australia. It remains to be seen if Whittington will be able to play next Sunday night in Denver against the Broncos in Week 3. In the season opener, the former sixth-rounder in 2024 from Texas caught his only target for a pickup of eight yards. Despite L.A.'s explosive offense, Whittington is just a depth piece and is not currently rostered in any Yahoo leagues.

Isaiah Williams Handling a Significantly Larger Role

Tuesday, September 29, 10:03 PM

New York Jets wide receiver Isaiah Williams has seen his role grow dramatically on offense in recent weeks. After opening the season lower on the depth chart, Williams has suddenly emerged as the No. 2 wide receiver behind Garrett Wilson as the team continues to deal with injuries on the offensive side of the ball. Omar Cooper (ankle) is on injured reserve, and Adonai Mitchell (finger) could miss another game in Week 4, leaving Williams in a very favorable role from a fantasy football perspective. There's data to back up this bigger role, too, as Williams has now played 82% and 89% of the snaps in his last two games, respectively. The increased playing time has resulted in a modest seven catches for 55 yards over the last two weeks combined, which isn't extraordinary but could be enough to put him on the fantasy radar as a low-end streamer for Week 4.
