Jordan Whittington News
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.

Jayden Higgins News
Monday, June 8, 5:25 AM
Houston Texans wide receiver Jayden Higgins has reportedly been standing out during the team's organized team activities and is a player to watch as the Texans move into the next phase of the offseason program. The 2025 second-round pick drew the praise of head coach Demeco Ryans for the improvements he's made since his rookie season, while team reporter Aaron Wilson wrote that he's "displaying signs that he could be poised for a breakout", with both commending his increased strength and play speed. Ryans went so far as to say, "He's going to have a great year. Can't wait to see it." Higgins finished his rookie season with 525 yards and six touchdowns on 42 receptions, playing some of his best ball down the stretch and through two postseason games, and at RotoBaller's WR55, he could become a steal in the late rounds of 2026 redraft leagues.
