Jordan Whittington a Dynasty Drop Candidate

Saturday, June 20, 5:37 AM

Los Angeles Rams second-year wideout Jordan Whittington saw the third-most snaps of all wide receivers on the team in 2025, but that translated to only 171 yards on 18 receptions. Even with Puka Nacua and Davante Adams missing a combined four games, the third receiver spot in Los Angeles carries very little value in an offense that had three tight ends on the field for almost a third of their snaps. The Rams spent a 2026 pick on tight end Max Clare while bypassing the wide receiver position until the sixth round, suggesting a continuation of their heavy personnel usage, and little chance of fantasy relevance for Whittington outside of a catastrophic injury to either Nacua or Adams. At RotoBaller's dynasty WR142, the 2024 sixth-round pick is a deceptively difficult player to move on from given his proximity to the top of the depth chart in what again should be one of the league's highest scoring offenses, but accounting for his usage, both past and projected, Whittington is little more than a roster-clogger whose bench spot could likely be better utilized in all but the deepest of dynasty leagues.

Jeshaun Jones News

Jeshaun Jones Solid In Preseason Finale

Saturday, August 23, 8:38 AM

Wide receiver Jeshaun Jones led the Minnesota Vikings with four catches on four targets Friday at Tennessee, which he turned into 41 receiving yards. It was a solid showing for a Minnesota team in need of extra help at receiver with Jordan Addison (suspension) and Rondale Moore (knee) set to miss time. Jones has a chance to stick around, but it's highly probable Minnesota will add another receiver between now and Week 1.
