Who Should I Start? Jordan Whittington or Jack Bech

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington (chest) returned to Sunday's NFC Championship game during the fourth quarter. He had exited in the third quarter and was initially listed as questionable before being cleared to re-enter. Even though he climbed further up the depth chart with Tutu Atwell (coach's decision) inactive, Whittington had not been targeted prior to his departure. However, he did contribute on special teams with five kick returns for a total of 116 yards. On offense, he and Konata Mumpfield will occupy depth roles behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams in the waning minutes of the fourth quarter.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jack Bech (back) is inactive for his team's Week 17 matchup against the New York Giants due to a back injury. The 23-year-old rookie has recorded 20 catches for 224 yards on 27 targets across 15 games in 2025. Las Vegas placed star tight end Brock Bowers (knee) on Injured Reserve earlier this week, so the team is running out of capable pass catchers. With Bech sidelined, Raiders wideouts Tre Tucker and Tyler Lockett figure to lead the team in wide receiver snaps against New York. Wideouts Dont'e Thornton Jr., Alex Bachman, and Shedrick Jackson could all see an uptick in playing time as well.
